Performing initial setup

operations

Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the amplifier’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).

Clearing the amplifier’s memory

Before using your amplifier for the first time, or when you want to clear the amplifier’s memory, do the following.

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

1 Turn off the amplifier.

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 are cleared.

•The master volume is set to “MIN”.

Performing initial setup operations

Before using your amplifier for the first time, adjust SET UP parameters so that the amplifier correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 29. See pages 13–17 for speaker settings and page 24 for other settings.

Multi channel surround

However, the amplifier lets you to place the

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to

 

12.0 meters from the listening position (A).
