Basic Setup

Before setting up

This receiver allows you to adjust the system
setup, and operate iPod/USB devices for
playback, using the on-screen display (OSD)
that is shown on the TV screen.
• The OSD will not appear if you have
connected using the HDMI output to your
TV. Use composite or component
connections for system setup.
First, follow the procedure below to make sure
that the OSD screen is displayed.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2 Switch the TV input to the input that
connects this receiver to the TV through the
corresponding composite or component
cable.
For example, if you connected this receiver to
the VIDEO jacks on your TV, make sure that the
VIDEO input is now selected.
3 Press RECEIVER on the remote control,
then press the SETUP button.
The System Setup menu of the OSD screen will
be displayed on the TV. If nothing appears on
the screen, try to change the TV format setting
on the receiver (see below).

Changing the TV format setting

If the OSD screen is not displayed correctly, it
may be that the TV system is set incorrectly for
your country or region.
1 Switch the receiver into standby.
While holding down the TUNE  button,
2
press and hold the  STANDBY/ON button
for about two seconds.
The display shows the new setting (PAL or
NTSC).
Automatically setting up for
surround sound (MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration
(MCACC) setup measures the acoustic
characteristics of your listening area, taking
into account ambient noise, speaker size and
distance, and tests for both channel delay and
channel level. After you have set up the
microphone provided with your system, the
receiver uses the information from a series of
test tones to optimize the speaker settings and
equalization for your particular room.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC
Setup are output at high volume.
Important
• The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing speaker settings you've made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the
iPod USB function should not be selected
as an input source.
• If you connected either the surround back
speaker or the front height speaker, make
sure that the Pre Out setting is correctly set
before performing the Auto MCACC Setup
(see page 47). (Here is an explanation
using the OSD screen for a surround back
speaker connection.)
