Chapter 3:
Basic Setup

Before setting up

This receiver allows you to adjust the system setup, 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, press and hold
2
the  STANDBY/ON button for about two seconds.
The display shows the new setting (PAL or NTSC).

Canceling the demo display

The display on the front panel shows various information (demo
displays) when the receiver is not operating.
You can turn off the demo display. For details, see The FL Demo
Mode menu on page 33.
• The demo mode is canceled automatically when the Auto
MCACC setup is performed (see below).
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 OSD will not appear if you have connected using the HDMI
output to your TV. Use composite or component connections
for system setup.
• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker
settings you've made.
• 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 33).
(Here is an explanation using the OSD screen for a surround
back speaker connection.)
