Monitor outputs to your Video Monitor (TV). Switch your TV set’s input
to match the type of video used for the currently selected source.
Step 6. Plug all components into AC power outlets. The outlets on the back of
the AVR 635 should be used
CD or DVD players, and the total should not exceed 100 watts.
Basic Receiver Configuration
Step 7. Select digital inputs: If your DVD is connected to Coaxial 1, no adjust-
ment is needed. For any other digital-device connections, use the
front-panel Digital Select button and the arrow buttons to select an
optical or coaxial digital input (see pages 21 and 35).
Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the Microphone Jack behind the

only for low-current products, such as
Owner’s Manual and the on-screen menus to run EzSet/EQ. Note that
you will hear a series of test tones and will then be instructed to move
the microphone and point it toward the three front speakers during the
second part of the calibration process.When the on-screen menu indicates that EzSet/EQ is complete, your system settings for speakers,
delay times, channel output and room equalization are entered into the
unit’s memory. Unplug the microphone and keep it for future use.
Your system is configured – sit back and enjoy.
