- Connect the unit to your TV and other external components using the appropriate cables (HDMI, optical, coaxial, analog).
- Prepare the remote control by inserting batteries and turning on the unit.
Note: A click sound will be heard upon powering on, followed by a 4-5 second interval before sound reproduction. - Run AUTO SETUP (IntelliBeam) for automatic sound beam and acoustic optimization.
- Play back a source by selecting the input source.
- Adjust beam modes and CINEMA DSP settings to fine-tune the surround sound experience.
- For further customization, use MANUAL SETUP to fine-tune settings and configure remote control codes.

| This unit fails to turn on when STANDBY/ON is pressed, or enters the standby mode soon after the power has been turned on. | The AC power supply cable is not firmly connected to the AC wall outlet. This unit has been exposed to a strong external electric shock (such as lightning and strong static electricity). |
Connect the AC power supply cable firmly to the AC wall outlet. Set this unit to the standby mode, disconnect the AC power supply cable, plug it back in after 30 seconds, and use it normally. |

| This unit suddenly enters the standby mode. | The internal temperature becomes too high and the overheat protection circuitry has been activated. | Wait for about one hour for this unit to cool down and turn it back on. | — |
| No sound. | Incorrect input or output cable connections. No appropriate input source has been selected. The volume is turned down. The sound is muted. The signals this unit cannot reproduce (such as PCM signals with more than 96 kHz of sampling frequency) are being received from the source component. The HDMI components connected to this unit do not support the HDCP copy protection standards. SUPPORT AUDIO is set to OTHER and HDMI audio signals are not being played back on this unit. |
Connect the cables properly. If the problem persists, the cables may be defective. Select an appropriate input source with INPUT or the input selector buttons. Turn up the volume. Press MUTE or VOLUME +/- to resume audio output and adjust the volume level. Play a source whose signals can be reproduced by this unit. Change the system settings of the source component.
