You should be at your usual listening position when adjusting the speaker volume. See "Receiver menus" on how to set up the receiver for the used speakers. 1 Press POWER ON / OFF to switch on the receiver. 2 Press TEST TONE on the remote control. A test tone coming from the different speakers, except the subwoofer, is heard. 3 Press +/- REAR on the remote control to increase/decrease the volume of the actual speaker. The best result is achieved when all speakers have equal volume in the listening position. 4 Press TEST TONE on the remote control. The test tone stops. Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volume settings, we recommend making minor adjustments to them during surround sound playback. FE R SURROUND (REAR) OO LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT SURROUND (REAR) Positioning of the speakers General hints for positioning Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor as this will boost the bass tones too much. Placing the speakers behind curtains, furniture, etc. will reduce the treble response. The listener should always be able to "see" the speakers. Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the positioning possibilities are often limited. You can find the best position for your speakers by referring to the picture above. As a minimum we recommend 5 speakers (2 front, a center, 2 surround) for good surround sound. It is possible to reproduce some kind of surround sound with fewer speakers. This is done by redirecting the signals which are foreseen for the missing speakers to the existing ones. See "Menus" on how to set up the receiver correctly for the number and size of the speakers used. Power handling If the receiver is used at very high power, it can produce distortions which may seriously damage your speakers. If distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to a level where the sound is acceptable again. To avoid overheating of the set a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the set off and let it cool down before reusing it. Positioning the front speakers The front speakers should be placed right and left in front of the listening position like usual stereo speakers. Positioning the center speaker The center speaker should be placed in the center between the two front speakers, e. g. underneath or on top of the TV. The best height for the center speaker is the height of the listener's ears (while seated). Headphones Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the speakers. The receiver switches to and surround sound will be reduced to a stereo signal which is reproducible by standard headphones. Disconnecting the headphones switches on the speakers again. If you wish to enjoy surround sound again, switch the receiver back to surround sound. Positioning the surround speakers The surround speakers should face each other and be in line with, or slightly behind the listener. Positioning the subwoofer A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of your system dramatically. The subwoofer can be positioned anywhere in the room, because it is not possible to locate the source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place the subwoofer in the middle of a room, since the bass could be severely weakened. Do not place any object on the subwoofer. 10 DISPLAY Display The display of the receiver is divided into 3 sections, which are to be used for the following: Speaker diagram Signs showing you various settings and information about the status of the receiver. PRESET .....................Tuner SENS HI.....................Tuner Status lights A rectangle with a letter in it shows that a speaker has been selected in the setup menu.
