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 accord-

ing to your equipment or the software you are going to play and enjoy!

•

Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX

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 sound-

tracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Dolby PRO LOGIC

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 fea-

tures 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

)

SRS Circle Surround II ™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ result-

ing 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 .

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.

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

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.

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 compo-

nents you are connecting.

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

connections are completed.

Notes

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 con-

sumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear

of this unit.

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 micro-

computer referring to “In case of difficulty”.‚

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.

•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 imped-

ance 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.

Speaker placement

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 repro-

duction from the speakers you have available. )

Channel space switching

(Except for the U.S.A., Canada, U.K., and Australia)

The space between radio channels has been set to the one that

prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the

current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area

where the system is to be used, for instance when you move from

area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper

reception of AM/FM broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case,

change the channel space setting in accordance with your area by

referring to the following table.

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 previ-

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.

* 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.

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.

* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate

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

Dolby PRO LOGIC

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 optimiza-

tion 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 speakers for an exciting “wrap-

around” effect with side wall imaging.

Multi channel surround sound (SRS Circle Surround

)

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.

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 non-

directional bass singnals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep

bass sound effects.

DSP mode

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

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.

* 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.
