Chapter Three: Using Receiver

’

s Front Panel to Set Up the Speakers

You can also perform the Speaker Setup and program pre-

set radio stations using the receiver

’

s front panel. (If you

have already set up the speakers or programmed radio sta-

tions using Remote Control unit you don

’

t have to repeat

the procedures using the front panel.)

Since you still must use Remote Control unit to identify

and set up your source devices for control, we recommend

that you use it for all setup procedures.

•

Do not operate Remote Control unit while you are per-

forming Speaker Setup on the receiver

’

s front panel.

Preparation for setup

Most of the front panel control buttons are located inside

the panel door. Make the following preparation for setup

on the receiver. Open the panel door by pushing the lower

part of the panel door.
