How to use this manual

Dolby PRO LOGIC q

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.
Since this receiver works with all your audio and video components, we
will guide you in setting up your system to be as easy as possible.

Operations
Shows you how to operate the various functions available on the
receiver.

Remote Control
Shows you how to operate other components using the remote control,
as well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once
you have registered your components with the proper setup codes, you’ll
be able to operate both this receiver and your other AV components (TV,
VCR, DVD player, CD player, etc.) using the remote control supplied with
this receiver.

Additional Information
Shows you additional information such as “In case of difficulty” (troubleshooting) and “Specifications”.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor
PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows
the user 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, dimensionality 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.

DTS-ES
The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) is a 6.1-channel
Discrete Surround format which is extended to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1,
DTS-Matrix 6.1 and DTS NEO:6. It is a 6.1 channel expanded from 5.1
surround which includes an additional surround center channel developed
within surround left and surround right. DTS-ES will be able to produce
the original sound recorded similar to the theatrical effects.
In the DTS-ES mode, the 5.1 or 6.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD,
LD or DVD disc (carrying the “DTS” or “DTS-ES” 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 surround sound
(SRS Circle Surround q

)

SRS Circle Surround II ™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multichannel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional
surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby
digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now
you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using
your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through
SRS Circle Surround II .

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.

Memory back up function
Please note that the following items will be deleted from the unit's
memory if the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet for
approximately 1 day.
• Power mode.
• Input selector settings.
• Picture output.
• Speaker ON/OFF.
• Volume level.
• BASS, TREBLE, INPUT level.
• TONE ON/OFF.
• LOUDNESS ON/OFF.
• Dimmer level.
• MD/TAPE settings.
• RF-BAND. (VR-6060 only)
• Listen mode setting.
• Speaker settings.

• PRO LOGIC II mode setting.
• CS II mode setting.
• Broadcast band.
• Frequency setting.
• Preset stations.
• Tuning mode.
• DSP mode.
• ACTIVE EQ mode.
• SPEAKER EQ mode.

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.

ACTIVE EQ
ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any
condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE
EQ is turned on during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.

SPEAKER EQ
The SPEAKER EQ function will automatically detect the various features
of each speaker and effectively creates a stereoscopic sound effect.

Remote control
This remote control has two kinds of signal.

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
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.

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 and Dolby Digital EX

RF remote signal (For VR-6060 only)
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.

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.
As for Dolby Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels
from the 5.1 channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that
derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording.
For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Setting up the system
Make connections as shown in the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be sure
to 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, sound may not be produced or there will be noise inference.
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 whose power consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear
of this unit.

Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks
for digital audio input and analog audio input.
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each
connected component.
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for CD/DVD,
DVD/6CH, VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 3 are full auto.
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO 2 or VIDEO 3 input), you must set
the input mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.

INPUT MODE

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 packed together 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”.
‚

Input Selector
1 Use the Input Selector keys to select CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3
or DVD/6CH.
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DTS play mode
1 FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input)
2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)

CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be
blocked causing damage or fire hazard.
• Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the
unit.
• Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside
dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown
below.
Top panel : 50 cm
Side panel : 10 cm Back panel : 10 cm

In CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 or DVD/6CH play mode
1 FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input)
2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)
3 6CH INPUT (DVD/6CH input)
4 ANALOG (analog input)

Digital input:
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD
player.
Analog input:
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,
or record player.
Auto detect:
In “FULL AUTO” mode (AUTO DETECT indicator light up), the
receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically.
Priority is given to digital signal during input mode selection. The
receiver will select the input mode and listening mode automatically
during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital,
PCM, DTS) and the speaker setting. The OPTICAL and COAXIAL
indicator on the display will light up when digital signal is detected.
If the input signal is analog, the ANALOG indicator will light up.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode,
use the INPUT MODE key to select “DIGITAL MANUAL” (manual
sound). However, even when this setting is selected, there may be
cases in which the listening mode is selected automatically to
match a Dolby Digital source signal depending on the combination
of listening mode and source signal.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be
produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

• Sound will not be heard if the speaker terminal is not fully secured.
• Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.
• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker
cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be
unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the
speakers correctly.

Speaker impedance
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the
rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that
indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions
or damage to the speakers or receiver.

Front speakers : Place at the front left and right of the listening
position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the
sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround
playback.
Surround speakers : Place at the direct left and right, or slightly
behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter
above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound
motion and atmosphere. Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Surround back speaker : Place the speaker directly at the rear of the
listening position. The optimum position depends mainly on the room
condition.
• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers
listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you
can divide those signals between the available speakers in the
speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available.

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
). Compared with previLaserdisc or DVD software marked
ous 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.

Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-channel
sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three
surround channels from the two in the original recording.
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, surround left,
surround right and surround back, each driving its own array of
speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers,
which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you
wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound,
positioning sound effects exactly where they wolud be heard in real life.
For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks
recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain a digital flag that
will automatically activate this feature. However, for titles released
prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated manually.
Note
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround
left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1
channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy
Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you
connect only the front speakers.

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 three optional controls, like
“Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama” modes 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 leftcenter-right speakers’ balance; the “Panaroma” mode extends the front
stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

Multi channel surround sound (SRS Circle Surround II)

DSP mode

SRS Circle Surround II ™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™
resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic,
multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or
conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy
listening to Dolby Digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with your
multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and
Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new
type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II.
The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements for
multi-channel content. It creates a listening environment that places
the listener “inside” music performances, and dramatically improves
both hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material.
The CS decoder also includes the SRS technologies Focus™ and
TruBass™. Focus electronically raises the sound stage from the
speaker location to an optimal position. TruBass creates deep, rich
bass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwoofer.

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, and FM radio.
You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or
DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

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.

DTS-ES
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.

* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass singnals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects.

The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents
6.1-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround.
DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theaters that
includes as additional surround-center channel matrixed within
surround-left and surround-right. It’s compatible on predecessor DTS
5.1 system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and
steering of sound accross the rear soundstage.The DTS-ES receiver
will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix.
The DTS-ES decoders used in home cinema systems have decoding
options for utilizing the extra channel, in addition to processing
existing 5.1 channel surround sound :
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back
channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic
positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with
the 6.1-channel reproduction. NEO:6 is a new technology which
decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel signals using high-accuracy
digital matrix technology. For best results, DTS-ES should be used
with movie soundtracks recorded with DTS-ES which contain a digital
flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for some
titles, this feature has to be activated manually.
According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the
NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:MUSIC
mode optimized for music playback.
