Introduction to home theater
Home theater refers to the use of multiple
audio tracks to create a surround sound effect,
making you feel like you're in the middle of the
action or concert. The surround sound you get
from a home theater system depends not only
on your speaker setup, but also on the source
and the sound settings of the receiver.
This receiver will automatically decode
multichannel Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby
Surround sources according to your speaker
setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make
changes for realistic surround sound, but
other possibilities (like listening to a CD with
multichannel surround sound) are explained in
Listening to your system on page 22.
Listening to Surround Sound
This receiver was designed with the easiest
possible setup in mind, so with the following
quick setup guide, you should have your
system hooked up for surround sound in no
time at all. In most cases, you can simply leave
the receiver in the default settings.
• Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting to an AC power source.
1 Connect your TV and DVD player.
See Connecting a TV and DVD player on page 9
to do this. For surround sound, you’ll want to
hook up using a digital connection from the
DVD player to the receiver.
2 Connect your speakers and place them for
optimal surround sound.
See Connecting the speakers on page 14.
Where you place the speakers will have a big
effect on the sound. Place your speakers as
shown below for the best surround sound
effect. Also see Hints on speaker placement on
page 15 for more on this.
3 Plug in and switch on the receiver, followed
by your DVD player, subwoofer and TV.
Make sure you’ve set the video input on your TV
to this receiver. Check the manual that came
with the TV if you don’t know how to do this.
4 Press QUICK SETUP on the front panel to
specify your speaker setup, room size and
listening position.
Use the MULTI JOG dial to select and ENTER
to confirm your selection. See Using the Quick
Setup below for more on this.
5 Play a DVD, and adjust the volume.
Make sure that DVD is showing in the
receiver’s display, indicating that the DVD
input is selected. If it isn’t, press DVD on the
remote to set the receiver to the DVD input.
There are several other sound options you can
select. See Listening to your system on page 22
for more on this.

See also The System Setup
menu on page 28 for more setup options.
Note
1 Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case, the
listening mode must be set to STANDARD (it should already be set—see Listening in surround sound on page 22 if you need to
do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.
