To avoid damaging your
speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume
before you turn off the receiver. When you turn
on the receiver, the volume remains at the level
you turn off the receiver.
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
(page 20).
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.
“INITIAL” appears in the display.
The following are reset to their factory
settings.
• All settings in the SET UP, LEVEL and
TONE menus.
• The sound field memorized for each
input selector and preset station.
• All sound field parameters.
• All preset stations.
• All index names of input selectors and
preset stations.
• The master volume is set to “VOL
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 46. See pages
15–19 for speaker settings and page 33 for
other settings.
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 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 23
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.). However, we
recommend that you place the surround
speakers behind you.
