(size, position, etc.) and perform any other
initial setup operations necessary for your
system.

To check the audio output during settings (to set up
while outputting the sound), check the connection
(see page 25).

2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.

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

Speaker impedance
To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front,
center, surround, and surround back speakers
with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher,
and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to
8. Check the operating instructions
supplied with your speakers if youre not sure
of their impedance. (This information is
usually printed on a label on the back of the
speaker.)
You may connect a pair of speakers with a
nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to
all of the speaker terminals. However, even if
one speaker within this range is connected, set
the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to 4.
Note
Be sure to turn the power off when setting the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.
