Simple Home Theater Guide
Introduction to home theater
Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to
create a surround sound effect, making you feel like
you’re in the middle of the action or concert. The
surround sound you get from a home theater system
depends not only on your speaker setup, but also on the
source and the sound settings of the receiver.
This receiver will automatically decode multichannel
Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround sources according
to your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to
make changes for realistic surround sound, but other
possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel
surround sound) are explained in
Listening to your
system
on page 36.
Listening to Surround Sound
This receiver has been designed with the easiest possible
setup in mind. However, before proceeding to the quick
setup guide given below, you have to decide the purpose
of your speaker system and hook up your system for
surround sound. After the following quick setup, you can
simply leave the receiver in the default settings in most
cases.
• Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting this unit to an AC power source.

your DVD player, your subwoofer and the TV.

if you don’t know how to do this.

system.

mode to
OFF
, you can skip this process. For details about the
