Setting Up for Surround Sound
To ensure the best possible surround sound, complete the following set up operations. You only need to make these
settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.). These set
up operations use your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up.
When you press SETUP OK to complete one of
the settings explained on the right, a mark
consisting of four curved lines appears on the top
right of the remote control. This means the
remote control is sending the commands to the
receiver. If the receiver has gotten the commands
the word “received” appears in the display on
the receiver. During this process you must keep
the remote control pointed at the receiver so the
command can be communicated from the
remote control to the receiver.
memo
1 Turn on the receiver and your TV, press RECEIVER
on the remote control.
Make sure your TV is set to the receiver.
2 Press the SUB button on the receiver screen.
3 Press SYSTEM SETUP button.
Access to the different set up modes appear on your remote
control screen. The set up possibilities will also appear on your
TV.
4 Follow the order below to set up your speakers for
surround sound .
In each mode, the current settings are displayed automatically.
We suggest you adjust all these settings when you first hook up
the receiver. That gets them out of the way and you won't need
to return to this setting mode unless you change your home set
up by adding new speakers (etc.). The sound set up modes
explained here are:
SPEAKER SETTING (See p.24-25)
Use to specify the type and number of speakers you connected.
CHANNEL DELAY (See p.26)
Set up the all your speakers for the most realistic surround
sound. Adding a slight delay to some speakers enhances sound
separation and is particularly important for achieving a surround
sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your
listening position to your speakers to add the proper delay.
CHANNEL LEVEL (See p.27-28)
Use to balance the volumes of your different speakers.
CROSSOVER NETWORK (See p.29)
This feature lets you select which bass frequencies will be sent
to the sub woofer or front speakers when set to large.
BASS PEAK LEVEL MANAGER (See p.30)
Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass
tones. Set the bass peak level as needed to prevent the ultra-
low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.
DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL (See p.31)
This feature makes possible excellent surround sound effects
when listening to Dolby Digital sources at low volumes.
DIGITAL INPUT SELECT (See p.32)
In order to use your digital components you must match the
numbered digital input buttons with the numbered digital jacks
used by your digital components.
MULTI ROOM (See p.65)
You can set up this unit to power systems in different rooms.
