Quick Start Setup Instructions
Most features of the Sherbourn PT-7010A can be operated
by the remote control’s 7010A section. For the best Home
Theater performance, you should calibrate your speakers and
customize the PT-7010A settings for your system. Press the
MENU button on the remote control to activate the On
Screen Display (OSD). This has several menus which will
allow you to set up your speakers and calibrate your system
correctly. The remote can also be used to activate and control
all features of the second zone.
Adding Batteries to the Remote Control
The PT-7010A Remote Control uses four AAA batteries.
They can be added by simply removing the back cover of
the unit and placing them according to the diagram. Once
installed, you should expect 6-8 months of normal use before
having to replace them again.
Remember that the remote will not lose programming
memory when the batteries are removed for changing. This
will make subsequent battery replacements a breeze!
Quick Start Instructions for PT-7010A Setup
The following quick start instructions will help you get started
using your Sherbourn PT-7010A with the least amount of
trouble. For the best results, have the PT-7010A up and
running with a video screen connected so you can take
advantage of the On Screen Display (OSD) feature. Make
sure you have read the safety precautions on the preceding
pages before attempting to use your PT-7010A or the
remote. You will need a measuring tape during this setup
process.
Step 1 -Add the batteries to the remote control as indicated.
Step 2 - Connect your source equipment and amplifiers to
the PT-7010A. If you haven’t yet done this, please refer to
the connection diagrams in the subsequent sections of this
guide. Safety Precaution - Make sure that all of your
equipment remains unplugged from the AC mains until
you have made all the connections.
Step 3 - Connect the speakers to your amplifier(s) so you
will be able to hear sound.
Step 4 - If you are using a new DVD player or had
previously configured it with 2-channel (RCA type) analog
audio connections, you may need to configure the output to
digital audio. In your DVD player’s AUDIO SETUP MENU,
you must set the digital output to BITSTREAM. If this is not
set correctly, the PT-7010A cannot decode the digital
information for discrete surround sound playback.
Step 5 - The PT-7010A has a Bass Management System
which allows the damaging bass from each full range channel
to be redirected to a subwoofer. Larger speakers can typically
play the full frequency range, however you may choose to
have smaller speakers (such as satellite types) can have the
bass redirected to the subwoofer(s). Make a note of which
speakers you would like to play the full frequency range
(Large) and those which will have the bass redirected
(Small). Also make a note of the approximate distance of
each speaker from your listening position.
Step 6 - Turn on the PT-7010A
Step 7 - Turn on your amplifiers, TV and other source
equipment.
