Getting started

Switching on and setting up

After making sure everything is connected up
properly, you’re ready to switch on. The first
thing to do is to tell the system what kind of TV
you’re using, standard or widescreen.

After that you can set up the surround sound
for your room, and set the clock so that you
can use the timer features.

Press

STANDBY/ON (on the remote

or on the front panel) to switch the
system on.

Also make sure that your TV is switched on
and that the video input is set to this system.
You should see the welcome screen displayed.

After you’re finished reading the

welcome screen, press ENTER to move on.

Use the

(cursor left/right)

buttons to select either ‘Wide screen
(16:9)’ or ‘Standard size screen (4:3)’
according to the kind of TV you have, then
press ENTER.
