wall, behind the listening position. When placing surround speakers, it is recommended that they
be located so that none of the speakers is more than two feet higher than the other. If dipole-type
speakers are used on either the side or rear walls of the room, please note that if there are
arrows on the speakers they should face the front of the room for the side speakers, or toward the
center of the wall for the rear speakers.
Subwoofers produce non-directional sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room.
Actual placement should be based on room size and shape and the type of subwoofer used. One
method of finding the optimal location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the
room, about six inches from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another method is to
temporarily place the subwoofer at your normal listening position, and then walk around the room
until you find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot. You
should also follow the instructions of the subwoofer’s manufacturer, or you may wish to
experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room.
System Setup
Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the
setup process are to configure system and source settings, program the AVR21EN for the type of
speakers used in your system, set the delay times used by the surround sound processor and
configure the output settings.
You are now ready to power up the AVR21EN to begin these final adjustments.
1. Make certain that the AC power cord is firmly inserted into the
AC Power Cord Jack [circle

NOT replace the power cord with one that has lower current capacity.
2. Locate the
Main Power Switch [square 1] and push it in until it latches. Note that the LED in
the Standby/On Button [square 2] will turn red, indicating that the unit is in the Standby
mode.
3. Carefully remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. If left in place, the film
will prevent proper operation of the remote control.
4. Install the four supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+)
and (–) polarity indicators that are in the battery compartment.
