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.
This procedure is not necessary if the
demonstration activates when you turn on the
power.
1 Turn off the receiver.
2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.
The demonstration starts (page 4) and all of
the following items are reset or cleared:
• All preset stations are reset or cleared.
• All sound field parameters are reset to
their factory settings.
• All index names (of preset stations and
program sources) are cleared.
• All SET UP parameters are reset to
their factory settings.
• The sound field memorized for each
program source and preset stations are
cleared.
• 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 54. See pages
16–20 for speaker settings and pages 36-37 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 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer (B)
and the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters (15
feet) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
12.0 meters (3 to 40 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.).
