English SYSTEM SETUP Speaker setup and testing The relative volume of the speakers must be adjusted for optimal surround sound. You should be at your usual listening position when adjusting the speaker volume. See "Receiver menus" on how to unit up the receiver for the used speakers. Ideally, the volume in the listening position should be the same from all speakers. 1 Press POWER / STANDBY to switch on the receiver. 2 Press TEST TONE on the remote control. y 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. y 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. Power handling If the receiver is used at very high power it can produce distortions which may damage your speakers seriously. If distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to a level where the sound is acceptable again. To avoid overheating of the unit a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the unit off and let it cool down before reusing it. Headphones Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the speakers. The receiver switches to STEREO 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. Maintenance Clean the receiver with a soft, slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect. Do not expose the receiver to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). 15
