10 The Auto Surround Setup has finished! Press
SYSTEM SETUP to exit the System Setup menu.
The settings made in the Auto Surround Setup should
give you excellent surround sound from your system, but
it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using
the Surround Setup menu (starting on page 51).
If you plan to go on and make advanced settings at this
point, you can select
Data Copy to start customizing
your surround sound settings. See Acoustic Calibration
EQ on page 55 for more on this.
You can also choose to view all the settings by selecting
Check. See Checking your surround settings on page 60
for more on this.
If you selected Return, you can select Exit to leave the
System Setup menu screen.
Note
• If you select Cancel at any time during the Auto
Surround Setup, the amplifier automatically exits
and no settings will be made.
• Remember to disconnect the microphone after
you’ve finished the Auto Surround Setup.
Other problems when using the Auto
Surround Setup
If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto
Surround Setup (too much background noise, echo off
the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the
microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check
for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan,
etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch
them off if necessary.
Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the
microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the
TV when doing the Auto Surround Setup.
Checking the settings on your DVD
(or other) player
Before continuing, you may want to check the digital
audio output settings on your DVD player and digital
satellite amplifier.
• Check that your DVD player/satellite amplifier is
set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2/96kHz PCM
(2 channel) audio.
If there is an option for MPEG audio, set this to convert
the MPEG audio to PCM.
If you connected the multichannel analog outputs of the
player to this amplifier, make sure that the player is set to
output multichannel analog audio.
Note
• Depending on your DVD player or source discs you
may only be able to output analog and stereo digital
audio. In this case you need to change the listening
mode to
SURROUND if you want multichannel
surround sound.
Playing a source
Here are the basic instructions for playing a source (such
as a DVD disc) with your home theater system.
1 Turn on the power of the playback component
(for example a DVD player), your TV and subwoofer
(if you have one).
• If your source is the TV’s built-in tuner, then switch to
the channel you want to watch, otherwise make sure
that the TV’s video input is set to this amplifier. (For
example, if you connected this amplifier to the
VIDEO
1 jacks on your TV, make sure that VIDEO 1 input is
now selected.)
2 If the amplifier isn’t already on, press
AMPLIFIER to switch it on.
