CHAPTER 1

Quick Start Guide

We hope that the following details will help you get started using your Theater Grand IV.

1.Take care to read and follow the safety instructions on pages 2-3. Also make sure that you read the notes and details throughout the

manual, especially notes marked with a warning triangle ().

2.Add batteries to the remote control.

3.Connect your source equipment and amplifi ers to the TGIV. See the hookup diagrams on pages 15-24.

Make sure that all of your equip- ment remains unplugged from the AC mains until you have made all the connections.

4.Connect the speakers to your am- plifi ers.

5.In your DVD player's Audio setup menu, set the digital output to BITSTREAM. If this is not set cor- rectly, the TGIV cannot decode the digital information for 5.1 surround sound playback.

6.The TGIV has a bass management system which allows the bass from each speaker to be redirected to a subwoofer. Larger speakers can play the full frequency range, and smaller speakers such as satellite types can have their bass redirect- ed. See page 42 for more details.

Make a note of which speak- ers you would like to play the full frequency range (Large) and those which will have the bass redirected (Small). Also make a note of the approximate distance of each speaker from your listening posi- tion.

7.Turn on the TGIV, and then turn on your amplifi ers, TV and other source equipment.

10.Turn down the TGIV volume and use the remote or front panel input selector to select a video source.

11.Play the source, and bring up the volume to suit your taste. Make sure the video can be seen in the TV monitor.

12.Stop or pause the source.

13.The TGIV now needs to be setup correctly to suit your speakers and system. The following On Screen Display (OSD) menus are used to enter and make three main adjust- ments:

Speaker Size

Speaker Calibration

Speaker Position

This setup needs to be done when you use your system for the fi rst time, or if you change anything such as the amplifi ers or speak- ers, or the speaker position. The calibration is also a good way to check that your system is working correctly. These adjustments are made using the OSD as follows:

13.1Press MENU on the remote to bring up the MAIN Menu of the OSD on your TV.

13.2Use the joystick pad left, right, up

and down buttons to navigate through the menus in the next steps.

NOTE: you can quit the OSD at any time by pressing EXIT on the remote. Any changes you make will be saved. There is no need to navigate back through previous pages, unless you want to make more changes.

When the OSD is active, the TGIV front panel display shows an ab- breviated message of where you currently are in the menus.
