Hooking up all my Rotel equipment

[hemifever]

I'm about to unbox my Rotel 1067 receiver, 1060 DVD player, and 1055 CD player. Any suggestions that will make my life easier in "dialing in" this receiver and/or DVD player would be appreciated.

This may seem dreadfully obvious--but it took me more than a few minutes to figure out: you have to have a television hooked up to access all the settings. Silly me, I figured I could set things up without it!

hemifever>>> Congrats on your new toys! It would definitely help to read the manuals carefully and understand what each setting will do before you start tweaking. Enjoy~ :T

Why both a DVD and a CD player?

The CD player was a good buy from a company going out of business. And even though the 1060 has good CD playback for being a DVD player, I wanted a dedicated CD system to ensure I get everything I can from CD's. And of course the 1055 is a changer so for holidays I can put in a handful of CD's for continuous music.

I have M&K S-150 thx fronts, S-500 thx rears, and an MX-350 thx sub. I really want to hear some nice audio.

My local Rotel dealer said they'd loan me an SPL meter to get the receiver calibrated. Anything else particular on the receiver setup?
