Performing initial setup

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 25).

Clearing the receiver’s memory

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

1 Turn off the receiver.

2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.

“ENTER to Clear All” appears in the display.

3 Press ENTER.

After “MEMORY CLEARING...” appears in the display for a while, “MEMORY CLEARED!” appears. All of the following items are reset or cleared:

•All preset stations are reset or cleared.

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

•All index names (of preset stations and program sources) are cleared.

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

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

Performing initial setup operations

Before using your receiver for the first time, adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 90. See pages 19–25 for speaker settings and pages 48–50 for other settings.

Multi channel surround

setup

For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A).

However, the receiver lets you to place the center speaker up to 5 feet closer (B), the surround speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) and the surround back speakers up to 15 feet closer (D) to the listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 40 feet from the listening position (A).

You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.).

You can use the center and surround back speakers as surround back right and left speakers.
