BASIC SYSTEM SETTINGS

The “BASIC” menu allows you to set some of the basic “SOUND” menu parameters with a minimum of effort. If you wish to configure the unit more precisely to suit your listening environment, use the more detailed parameters from the “SOUND” menu instead of those under the “BASIC” menu (See page 39). Altering any parameters in the BASIC menu will reset all parameters in the “SOUND” menu.
