Using Your Subwoofer
Subwoofer VVolume C
Control
Initially, set the subwoofer’s volume knob to the 11 o’clock position. During normal
operation you will use the receiver’s subwoofer volume control to adjust the
subwoofer volume. If the receiver’s subwoofer volume control won’t go loud or soft
enough, re-adjust the subwoofer’s volume knob to compensate. See the receiver’s
instruction manual for details on using the receiver’s subwoofer volume control.
Balancing the Speakers
Your receiver comes with the speaker volume settings pre-balanced. If you have
positioned the speakers as shown in the diagram your system will create a spacious
surround sound environment right out of the box with no further adjustment required.
If your room is arranged differently than shown in the diagram, or if you simply want
to fine-tune your system’s performance, you can easily change the volumes of the
individual speakers to get a better balance:
1. Press the
SETUP
button once. The display will read “SP SETUP”.
2. Press the >
MULTI CONTROL
button once. The display will change to “SP LEVEL”.
3. Press the
ENTER
button once. The display will read “TEST TONE” and then change to “AUTO”.
4. Press the >
MULTI CONTROL
button once again. The display will read “MANUAL”.
5. Press the
ENTER
button repeatedly until the speaker you want to adjust appears on the
display. The speaker’s icon will flash and you will hear test noise through the speaker.
6. Use the and
MULTI CONTROL
buttons to increase and decrease the
speaker’s volume.
7. Do not be concerned with the volume level readout on the display while you’re
adjusting the speakers—this is for reference purposes only. However, once you
have balanced all the speakers you should write each speaker’s volume setting
down here for reference:
8. Press the
SETUP
button once more to exit the setup mode.
Setting the Speaker Distances
This last step adjusts the timing of all the speakers so that their sound arrives at the
listening location at the proper time.
1. Measure the distance from each speaker to your seat. Write the distances down.
2. Press the
SETUP
button once. The display will read “SP SETUP”.
3. Press the >
MULTI CONTROL
button twice. The display will change to “DISTANCE”.
4. Press the
ENTER
button once. The display will read “METERS”. Press the >’
MULTI CON
-
TROL
button once to change the units to feet (the display will change to “FEET”).
5. Press the
ENTER
button once. The display will read “L 10FT” and the left speaker
icon will flash.
6. Press the or
MULTI CONTROL
buttons until the distance on the display matches
the distance from your left speaker to your listening position.
7. Press the >
MULTI CONTROL
button again to repeat Step 6 for the center speaker, and
then for the rest of the system’s speakers.
8. When you’ve finished setting the speaker distances, press the
SETUP
button to exit
the setup mode.

The coaxial digital cable (black) carries the Dolby Digital and DTS digital audio
bitstreams to the receiver for decoding.
Audio aand C
Composite VVideo C
Cables
The audio and composite video cables carry the standard analog audio and compos-
ite video signals to the receiver. Use the red wire for the right audio channel, the white
wire for the left audio channel and the yellow wire for the video connection.
Component VVideo C
Connections
If you are using your HTB-S710DV with an HD-capable TV or monitor you can use an
optional Component Video cable to connect the DVD player to the receiver for
improved video quality over the standard composite video connection. If you use a
Component Video cable to connect the DVD player to the receiver you must also use
a Component Video cable to connect the receiver to the TV or monitor.
Connecting a Video Game to the Front-Panel Game Input
Your HTB-S710DV receiver has a set of inputs specially-designed for video games.
The inputs are located behind a flip-down door on the receiver’s front panel.
• Connect your game console’s video and audio outputs to the inputs labeled
“GAME” (see diagram to the right).
Once the console is connected you need to set up the GAME input:

automatically switch its input to GAME.
• The receiver will automatically activate special EQ circuitry (Active EQ — EQ
GAME) that is designed to enhance game sounds.
• The listen mode will automatically switch to Dolby Pro Logic IIx: Game, or the
appropriate digital surround mode. (Note: If you change to a different listen
mode, that mode will be automatically activated the next time you select the
GAME input.)
4. Press the
MULTI
-
CONTROL
button to change to “MODE 2”. In MODE 2 the receiver
will detect whenever the game console is turned on and will automatically switch
its input to GAME.
5. Press the
MULTI CONTROL
button to change to “OFF”, which bypasses all of
MODE 1 and MODE 2’s special functions.
6. Select either MODE 1, MODE 2 or OFF, then press
ENTER
to register your selection.
7. Press
SETUP
to exit the setup mode.
Using the Dual-Source/Single-Zone mode
You can listen to a game soundtrack through headphones while others listen to
music through the system’s speakers.
1. Connect a pair of stereo headphones to the HEADPHONES jack.
2. Press the DUAL SOURCE ON/OFF button. The Dual Source icon will illuminate.
3. Press the DUAL SOURCE INPUT button to select either the GAME input or the
F. AUX input sound for the headphones.
• Video from the selected input will show on a connected TV or monitor.
4. Use the DUAL SOURCE VOLUME / buttons to adjust the headphone volume.
The source selected by the receiver’s main Input Selector will play through the
speakers; its volume will be controlled by the receiver’s Volume Control knob.
