There isn't a specific set-up tutorial, but the set up is all pretty similar so you can search the forum for set up advice of the UHD722 or HD621 with any of the Meridian surround processors.
Not sure why there would be a 3rd party manual, but I'd recommend that you do have a good read at the manuals.
I wouldn't describe the G65 display as 'tiny' but the configuration wizard is all explained from P43 of the manual.
Yes, you can do the set up via a windows computer which is described on P53 of the manual.
There is room correction but that's in another manual and you'll need to supply a microphone (similar to the old Radio Shack one) for calibration (P55 of the manual).

You haven't mentioned any speakers, so it would be useful to know if you're using Meridian DSP speakers or not.

Meridian stuff isn't simple plug and play but a good read at the manuals will hopefully get you going.

Thank you for the thoughtful response, Brian. Yes, by third-party I meant tutorials - sometimes the user created stuff is better than the manual. I'll for sure do some searching around here, this seems like a nice active community.

I'm basically trying to get my dad's home theater setup. He has a G65, UHD722, DSP5200SE towers and center, and DSP3200 rear speakers. The 3200s he sent in for repair because they were not working. I checked the fuses on them and they were intact, just somehow the amps both went completely dead on them. Power spike? I don't know. He doesn't use the room often enough to know when they actually died. Not sure when those come back but when they do I'd like to help him get everything calibrated again so was doing some homework. The speakers are wonderful, the processors are a little foreign to me so I'd like to get comfortable with them and understand them better. Besides setup, things like I don't see them recognize sound formats like True HD or Atmos, so it has always been a mystery in if it's actually getting the right flag or just passing PCM or what. He also has a JL Audio E110 subwoofer to fill in the final octaves that I think would pair nicely with where the 5200s roll off.

Does a MiniDSP UMIK-1 with a calibration file work?

Thanks, I'll for sure grab his manuals and start digging through them.
