Setting Up for Surround Sound

En
To ensure the best possible surround sound, complete the following setup operations. Some of these are the same
(and take precedence over) the settings you made in the Easy Setup Guide, so consider if the ones you made at that
time were adequate. If you feel they were, move on to the next setting in this section.
These setup operations use on-screen displays (OSDs) on your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure
your TV and receiver are properly hooked up and that your TV is set to this receiver. You need to connect the setup
mic to the front panel of the receiver so that it can measure the sound and ensure the proper settings. For more
information on the mic hookup see page 13.
1 Turn on the receiver and your TV.
Press the RECEIVER button on the
remote control.
Make sure your TV is connected and set to the video input
the receiver is using.
2 Press the SYSTEM SETUP button.
The menu possibilities appear on your TV.
3 SURROUND SETUP should be
selected. If it isn’t use the  buttons
to select it. Press the ENTER button.
4 Use the  buttons to navigate
through the menus. When you have
the setting you want in a particular
menu, press ENTER.
In each mode, the current settings are displayed. We sug-
gest you do a basic system setup for surround sound
when you first hook up the receiver. That gets it out of the
way and you won't need to do it again unless you change
your home set up (by adding new speakers, etc.). To do a
basic setup use the SURRBACK menu if necessary and
then choose either the AUTO SETTING or NORMAL setup
procedure and complete that. You don’t need to do both
as they accomplish the same ends. We recommend the
AUTO SETTING method.
To do a more advanced setup for surround sound see
EXPERT setup starting on page 96.
