Speaker system hookup (continued)
Speaker impedance
To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front, center, surround, and surround back speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to
“8Ω ”. Check the operating instructions supplied with your speakers if you’re not sure of their impedance. (This information is usually printed on a label on the back of the speaker.)
You may connect a pair of speakers with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to all of the speaker terminals. However, even if one speaker within this range is connected, set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω ”.
Note
Be sure to turn the power off when setting the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.
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.
