I can see by the setup of this device, it can be confusing. So let's make sure you are setting the device to the correct "A" speaker outputs. These would all be on the rear panel, on the right side of the receiver. Is this correctly setup?
To select the surround mode during playback,
press the AUTO button on the front panel.
(Using the remote control unit)
To select the surround mode, press the AMP
button and press the > button until PAGE1 is
displayed. Press the AUTO (D1) button
VOLUME control knob on the front panel or VOL
/ buttons on the remote.
To increase the volume, turn the VOLUME knob
clockwise or press VOL button on the remote, to
decrease the volume, turn counterclockwise or
press VOL button on the remote.
Notes:
• The volume can be adjusted within the range of –
∞ to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB.
• However, when the channel level is set as described
on page 20, if the volume for any channel is set at
+1 dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up
to 18 dB.
(In this case the maximum volume adjustment
range is “18 dB - Maximum value of channel level)
Not everything will play in surround mode, as not everything is produced in surround mode, so make sure run the speaker test to verify the speakers are working in surround mode and the adjust the volume of each according to the distance and depth you desire.
This sub-menu is to adjust the speaker levels for
7.1-channel input sources.
Here you will adjust the volume for each channel so
that they are all heard by the listener at the same
level.
1. Select “7.1CH INPUT” in the SETUP MAIN
MENU with the or cursor buttons, and
press the ENTER button.
2. To select “VIDEO IN”, press or cursor
button.
3. Using the or cursor buttons, select the
video input source which is emitted from
Monitor out in the 7.1 CH INPUT function.
The input source is switched by pressing the
or cursor buttons as follows;
LAST ↔ TV ↔ DVD ↔ VCR1 ↔ DSS ↔
AUX1 ↔ V-OFF ↔ LAST ↔
Notes:
• When select LAST, the source is set previous
source before 7.1 CH INPUT function is activated.
• When select V-OFF, no signal is emitted from
monitor out terminal.
4. To Select desired channel , press the or
cursor buttons.
5. Using the or cursor buttons, adjust the
volume level of each channel.
6. After you complete this portion of the set up,
move the cursor to “MAIN” with the or
cursor buttons and press the ENTER button.
Notes:
• These settings will be memorized to 7.1CH INPUT
source.
• This feature can be directly selected with the
CH.SEL button of the remote controller.
