Overview
Menu Navigation
At this point you should have made
all the necessary physical connections
between the Model 976 and your source
equipment, amplifi ers and speakers. All
that remains is to properly confi gure the
system to suit your speaker and amplifi er
confi guration.
Although some of the Model 976’s
setup functions can be accessed directly
through the front panel display and dedi-
cated buttons on the remote control, it’s
probably easiest to perform the entire set-
up through the on-screen display (OSD),
which can be seen on any video monitor
connected to the Model 976’s HDMI out-
put. Note that the OSD functions only on
the Model 976’s HDMI output 1.
System Setup
Before you begin, make certain that the AC power
cord supplied with the Model 976 is fi rmly inserted
into the socket on the unit’s rear panel. Now plug
the cord into an AC wall outlet or UL-approved
power strip or surge protection device. The ring
around the STANDBY button on the front panel will
light up.
To turn the Model 976 on:
Press the STANDBY button on the front panel
•
or the POWER ON button on the remote
to turn on the Model 976. The front panel
display will illuminate and the ring around the
STANDBY button will glow brighter.
To get the rest of the system running, turn
•
on the amplifi er (if you’re not using the
Model 976’s DC trigger to turn it on auto-
matically), the source devices, and the video
display.
We recommend that you perform the setup
through the on-screen display (OSD), which can
be seen on a display connected to the Model 976’s
HDMI Out 1 output.
