25 INITI A L SE TUP In this section, you will configure the AVR 2600 to match your actual system. A video display must be connected to one of the video monitor outputs on the receiver . USING THE ON-SCREEN MENU SYSTEM Although it’ s possible to configure the AVR using only the remote and the front-panel messages, it is easier to use the full-scre[...]

26 INITI A L SE TUP NOTE: The AVR 2600 will automatically set its master volume to – 25dB. STEP FOUR – After you select “Continue” , the screen shown in Figure 23 will appear . Select the number of speakers in your system. Select 5.1 if no surround back speakers are present or i f the surround back channels will be used for multizone operat[...]

27 INITI A L SE TUP The AVR will also select the assigned video source. The only “audio- only” sources on the A VR 2600 are the Radio and The Bridge III (video may be available; see page 32), which use special on-screen menus. For external sources, if no video signal is present, the display will remain black. Y ou may pair an audio device with [...]
