5 minute guide
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 31.
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 13
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 19.
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 20 for more on this.

3 Plug in and switch on the receiver, followed
