Initial Set up
On Screen Display (VSX-859RDS only)
There are a number of possible ways to hook up the receiver to your video components, like a DVD player, and hook up to your receiver to your TV, but some of them will not allow you to use the on-screen display of this unit. To avoid this, you simply need to keep the following rules: 1 Always use the same type of video cords to hook up your video components to the receiver as you use to hook up the receiver to your TV. For example, if you use composite video cords to hook up your DVD player to the receiver, use composite video cords to hook up the receiver to your TV. If you use S video cords to hook up your DVD player and the receiver, use S video cords to hook up the receiver to your TV. 2 Always make sure your TV is set to the appropriate input channel (for example, video 1). Your TV may have a number of input channels and if you do not select the proper one, you will not be able to use this receiver�s on-screen display, or, in fact see any picture from this receiver at all. If you are unsure how to choose an input channel for your TV, refer to the manual which came with your TV.
Switching video system between PAL and NTSC (if necessary)
This receiver is able to use two types of video systems for its OSD (on screen display) either PAL or NTSC. If you don't match the system on the amplifier with your home system no OSD will appear on your TV. The default setting is PAL. If you use this system you don't need to make any settings here. People with multisystem TVs don�t need to worry about changing the setting either. If necessary, follow the instructions below to switch the type of video system.
SET UP
1 Put the receiver in the STANDBY mode.
STANDBY/ON
2 While holding down the LOUDNESS
button press the button. STANDBY/ON
The video system type will change depending on the state the receiver was previously in. The new type, either PAL or NTSC, will appear in the display. It will be shown for about seven seconds and then the receiver returns to normal operating mode. To change the video system type again repeat steps 1 and 2.
