Initial Setup

Setting Up for Surround Sound

To ensure the best possible surround sound, complete the following setup operations. You only need to make
these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers,
etc.).
To set up this receiver's home cinema system you can use on-screen displays on your TV or the front panel
display on the receiver. Switch on the receiver and your TV, and make sure that the receiver is selected as your
TV's video input. You can make the settings with the remote control or the MULTI JOG dial on the front panel.

This SYSTEM SETUP MENU appears on your TV screen.
This display appears on the receiver.

MULTI JOG dial) to move the hand to the
second tier of setup modes and choose the
one you want. Then press the ENTER button
(or the MULTI JOG dial).
There are three second tier setup modes: Assign Setup,
Surround Setup and Rename. The first of these, Assign
Setup, is for telling the receiver which components are hooked
up to which terminals and how they are connected as well as
setting up the optional MULTI ROOM feature, which is only
used if you want the receiver to power systems in more than
one room. In the Assign Setup menu you must make the Digital
In adjustments if you didn't follow the default settings when
you hooked up your DVD/LD player.
We suggest you start with Digital In and adjust and make all the
necessary adjustments here and then move on to the other
entries in this menu and decide if you need to make these
adjustments. It is likely you will not need to bother with any of
the other things on this menu.
