1 Go through the entire "Initial Set up" procedures as outlined on pages 29 – 43
of this instruction manual.
If you don't hook up any other components with digital audio or do so following the default settings of
the receiver (see page 13 you won't have to assign any more digital inputs, but many other adjust-
ments are necessary and will improve the sound tremendously.
2 Experiment with the different sound settings offered with the 2/DTS/MPEG
and DSP buttons.
For more information see pages 44 – 48.
3 As mentioned above you should go through the "speaker setting" instructions
on p. 30 – 43 to set up your speakers properly. If you don't do this you, at
least, need to make sure the CENTER channel is turned off if you don't have a
center speaker. Use the instructions on p. 36 – 37.
