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 17).
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.
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”.
•The fan control is set to “FAN ON”.
Performing initial setup operations
Before using your receiver for the first time, adjust MAIN MENU parameters so that the receiver correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 31. See pages
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 1.5 meters closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 12.0 meters 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.).
Place the sub woofer at the same distance from the listening position as the front speaker (left or right).
