Before You Use Your Receiver
Before turning on the receiver
Make sure that you have:
• Turned MASTER VOLUME to the leftmost position (0).
• Selected the appropriate front speakers (see “7
SPEAKERS selector” on page 26).
Checking the connections
After connecting all of your components to the receiver,
do the following to verify that the connections were made
correctly.
1 Press 1/u to turn on the receiver.
2 Turn FUNCTION to select a component (program
source) that you connected (e.g., CD player or tape
deck).
3 Turn on the component and start playing it.
4 Rotate MASTER VOLUME to turn up the volume.
If you do not obtain normal sound output after
performing this procedure, look for the reason in the
checklist on the following page and take the appropriate
measures to correct the problem.
Notes
• The front balance, rear balance, center level, and rear level are
shown in the display during adjustment.
• Although these adjustments can also be made via the front
panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test tone is output, the
receiver switches to the LEVEL menu automatically), we
recommend you follow the procedure described above and
adjust the speaker levels from your listening position using the
remote control.

When setting the volume levels for each speaker
Let’s assume that you have matched the sound levels of all the
speakers using the test tone. Although this lays the foundation
for high quality surround sound, it may be necessary to make
further adjustments while listening to playback of actual
software. This is because most software contains center and rear
channels recorded at slightly lower levels than the two front
channels.
When you actually playback software recorded in multi channel
surround you will notice that increasing the center and rear
speaker levels produces a better blend between the front and
center speakers and greater cohesion between the front and rear
speakers. Increasing the level of the center speaker about 1 dB,
and the rear speakers about 1~2 dB is likely to produce better
results.
In other words, in order to create a more cohesive soundstage
with balanced dialog we recommend that you make some
adjustments while playing your software. Changes of only 1 dB
can make a huge difference in the character of the soundstage.
