CHAPTER 1
Quick Start Guide
12. The Receiver now needs to be
setup correctly to suit your speak-
ers and system. The following On
Screen Display (OSD) menus are
used to enter and make three main
adjustments:
• Speaker Size
• Speaker Calibration
• Speaker Position
This setup needs to be done when
you use your system for the Þ rst
time, or if you change anything
such as the ampliÞ ers or speak-
ers, or the speaker position. The
calibration is also a good way to
check that your system is working
correctly. These adjustments are
made using the OSD as follows:
12.1 Press MENU on the remote to
bring up the MAIN Menu of the
OSD on your TV.
12.2 Use the joystick
pad left, right, up
and down buttons to
navigate through the
menus in the next
steps.
NOTE: you can quit the OSD at
any time by pressing EXIT on the
remote. Any changes you make
will be saved. There is no need to
navigate back through previous
pages, unless you want to make
more changes.
When the OSD is active, the
Receiver front panel display shows
an abbreviated message of where
you currently are in the menus.
7. Press the remote MAIN button
a few times to make sure you
are on the Main Menu in the
remote's display.
8. Set the remote to operate the
Receiver by pressing the RECVR
button.
We hope that the following details
will help you get started using your
Ultimate Receiver.
1. Take care to read and follow the
safety instructions on pages 2-3.
Also make sure that you read the
notes and details throughout the
manual, especially notes marked
with a warning triangle (
).
2. Add batteries to the remote control.
3. Connect your source equipment
and speakers to the Receiver. See
the hookup diagrams on pages 15-
24.
Make sure that all of your equip-
ment remains unplugged from
the AC mains until you have
made all the connections.
4. In your DVD player's Audio menu,
set the digital output to Bitstream.
If this is not set correctly, the
Receiver cannot decode the digital
information for 5.1 surround sound
playback.
5. The Receiver has a bass manage-
ment system which allows the bass
from each speaker to be redirected
to a subwoofer. Larger speakers
can play the full frequency range,
and smaller speakers such as
satellite types can have their bass
redirected. See page 42 for more
details.
Make a note of which speak-
ers you would like to play the full
frequency range (Large) and those
which will have the bass redirected
(Small). Also make a note of the
approximate distance of each
speaker from your listening posi-
tion.
The lower (Aux) pair of speaker
outputs can be used for powering
surround back, side-axis or Zone 2
speakers. See page 41.
6. Turn on the Receiver, then your TV
and other source equipment.
9. Turn down the Receiver volume
and use the remote or the front
panel input selector to select a
video source.
10. Play a source such as a DVD,
and bring up the volume to suit
your taste. Make sure the video
can be seen in the TV monitor.
11. Stop or pause the source.
