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 23.
Listening to Surround Sound
With the following quick setup guide, you should
have your system hooked up for surround sound
in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply
leave the receiver in the default settings.
• Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting to an AC power source.
1 Connect your TV and Blu-ray Disc player
or DVD player.
See
Connecting a TV and Blu-ray Disc player or
DVD player
on page 9 to do this. For surround
sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital
connection from the BD/DVD player to the
receiver.
2 Connect your speakers and place them for
optimal surround sound.
See
Connecting the speakers
on page 15.
Where you place the speakers will have a big
effect on the sound. Place your speakers as
shown below for the best surround sound
effect. Also see
Hints on speaker placement
on
page 16 for more on this.
3 Plug in and switch on the receiver,
followed by your BD/DVD player,
subwoofer and TV.
Make sure you’ve set the video input on your TV
to this receiver. Check the manual that came
with the TV if you don’t know how to do this.
4 Set the connection of the speaker and the
subwoofer.
Perform

on page 30.
5 Play a BD/DVD, and adjust the volume.
Make sure that
BD/DVD
is showing in the
receiver’s display, indicating that the BD/DVD
input is selected. If it isn’t, press
BD
on the
remote to set the receiver to the BD/DVD input.
There are several other sound options you can
select. See
Listening to your system
on page 23
for more on this.

Setup menu

Note
1 Depending on your BD/DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case,
the listening mode must be set to
STANDARD
(it should already be set—see
Listening in surround sound
on page 23 if you
need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.
