Special features

True home theater sound

This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you

maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround mode

according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and

enjoy! ¶

Dolby Digital

The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from

software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides

up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality

and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

Dolby Pro Logic II

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor

PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantage in surround sound. It allows

the users to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a

convincing “5.1 like” presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features

for controlling the overall spatial, dimesionality, and frontal sound field

imaging. PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from

video software marked and three-dimensional space

from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the

experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.

How to use this manual

This manual is divided into four sections: Preparations, Operations,

Remote Control, and Additional Information.

Preparations

Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the

receiver and prepare the surround processor.

We will guide you to make setting up your system as easy as possible.

Dolby 3 Stereo

This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from

video software marked .

The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left and

right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.

DTS

DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that

provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)

channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a

(wide) dynamic range.

In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD

disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround.

Important:

When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be

output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the

digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.

Multi channel music (SRS Circle Surround )

SRS Circle surround enables you to listen to multi channel sound from the

stereo source. We assume you have already enjoyed listening to Dolby

digital sound/DTS multi channel sound with your multi speakers. Now,

this time try listening to the stereo source (ex. Audio CD) using your multi

speakers. You may discover a new type of “stereo” sound through SRS

Circle Surround.

DSP surround modes

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a

variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like “ARENA”, “JAZZ”

CLUB”, “THEATER”, “STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with

almost any kind of program source.

DVD 6-channel input

If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver

allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source

material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are

digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience

is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound

systems.

CINEMA EQ.

Cinema EQ. mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any

condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when you

switch CINEMA EQ. ON during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.

Remote control

This remote control has two kinds of signal-

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote signal

In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this

receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and

video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register the

components you have connected.

RF remote signal

You can operate the receiver by sending RF remote signal from the

remote control. The controllable range of the remote control is not

influenced by surroundings such as distance or an obstruction.

MACRO play

The MACRO function lets you perform a series of operations automati

cally, like turning ON the power of the receiver and connected compo

nents, switching the input selectors, and starting playback. (Be sure to

Preparations

Make connections as shown on the following pages.

When connecting the related system components, be sure

to also refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the

components you are connecting.

Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all

connections are completed.

Notes

1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are

imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.

2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or

unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection cords

without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may

damage the unit.

3. Do not connect power cords from components which power consump-

tion is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.

Setting up the system

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format

available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be

decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this

reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog

outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited.

To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions

should taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected

directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™

playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder

system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or

TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

DTS disclaimer clause

Analog connections

Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer

stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal

corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have

2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left

channel. These cables are usually packaged with the source unit, or are

available at your local electronics retailer.

Microcomputer malfunction

If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though

all connections have been made properly, reset the microcomputer

referring to “In case of difficulty”. y

Be sure to adhere the followings. Or proper ventilation will be blocked

causing damage or fire hazard.

• Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of unit.

Ambience effects

This receiver is equipped with listening modes that allow

you to enjoy an enhanced sonic ambience with a variety of

video sources.

In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround

modes, make sure to input the proper speaker settings

beforehand. )

Surround modes

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of

digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as

Laserdisc or DVD software marked ). Compared with previous

Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality,

greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

Note

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left

and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital

surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby

Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-

directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass

sound effects.

Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low

frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass

performance in the other surround modes.

The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being input

for this channel.

Front speakers (L, R)

Subwoofer (SW)*

Center speaker

Surround speakers (L, R)

DTS

The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD

software. DTS is a strictly digital format and can not be decoded inside

most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen to

DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD

or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise

can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high

power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digital

output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To

enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS

Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS

Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P

DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.

* Optional in this mode.

* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-

directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep

bass sound effects.

DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.

The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being

input for this channel.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense of

spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround

encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked

). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in feedback logic

design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full

bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed

into this receiver are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “PRO LOGIC”. The

“MOVIE” mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to

produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the

“MUSIC” mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the optional

controls, like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama mode” to

allow optimization of the soundfields as desired. The “Dimension”

control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards

the front or towards the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various

adjustment of the left-center-right speakers' balance; the “Panaroma

mode” extends the front stereo image to include the surround speaker

for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to

almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly

effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television,

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety

of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act

of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).

The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to

create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original

signal.

DVD 6-channel mode

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels

and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source

material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each

channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of

spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.

Dolby 3 Stereo

Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround

speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information

is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed

for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve

sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.

Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however, may not be as

accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby Surround

encoded.

SRS Circle surround enables you to listen to multi channel sound from

the stereo source. We assume you have already enjoyed listening to

Dolby digital sound/DTS multi channel sound with your multi speakers.

Now, this time try listening to the stereo source (ex. Audio CD) using your

multi speakers. You may discover a new type of “stereo” sound through
