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 18).
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.
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”.
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 31. See pages
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) and the surround speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) 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.).
