operations

Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the receiver’s memory. Then specify the speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.

Tip

To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection (see page 18).

This procedure is not necessary if the demonstration activates when you turn on the power.

1 Turn off the receiver.

2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.

The demonstration starts (see page 2) and all of the following items are reset or cleared:

•All sound field parameters are reset to their factory settings.

•All SET UP parameters are reset to their factory settings.

•The sound fields memorized for each program source and preset stations are cleared.

•The master volume is set to “MIN”.
