After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC
power cord, output a test tone to check that all the
speakers are connected correctly. For details on
outputting a test tone, refer to "Adjusting the speaker
volume" on page 10.
If you have connected rear speakers, be sure to press
the 5.1 CH/DVD button and turn off sound field on
the receiver before outputting a test tone so that the
tone is output individually from the left and right rear
speakers.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a
test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other
than the one whose name is currently displayed on the
receiver, the speakers may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.
