Sherwood component that uses the DIGI LINK II or III

remote control system.

7. SUBWOOFER PREOUT connection

• To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered

subwoofer.

8. CONNECTING SPEAKERS

• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according

to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+ and -). If the

connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the

speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is

incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

• For installing the speakers, refer to "Speaker placement" on

page 10.

• After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings

according to your environment and speaker layout.(For

details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER / ROOM EQ

SETUP" on page 43.)

Surround back speakers

• When using only one surround back speaker, you should

connect it to SURROUND BACK/ROOM 2 LEFT channel.

• If you assign the power amplifier for the surround back/

room 2 channels to the ROOM 2, this unit can drive the

speakers in another room (ROOM 2).

(For details, refer to "CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTs" on

page 11 and "When selecting the AMP ASSIGN" on page

37.)

Caution :

• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms

or above.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any

metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or

the speakers.

ENGLISH

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size

of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical

example of speaker placement and recommendations

are as follows :

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as

flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.

• Place the center speaker between the front left and

right speakers and no further from the listening

position than the front speakers.

• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the

location of the listener’s ears when at the main

listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter

(40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on

the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.

Surround back left and right speakers

• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing

the front at a narrower distance than front speakers.

• When using a single surround back speaker, place it

at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher

position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.

• We recommend installing the surround back

speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This

effectively prevents the surround back channel signals

from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center,

resulting in interference and making the sense of

movement from the front to the back less sharp.

Subwoofer

• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass

sounds.

Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as

desired.

Notes :

• When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference

with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded

front left and right and center speakers.

• To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers

except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.

• When making DC TRIGGER connection, you should

use the stereo mini cord, not a mono mini cord.

10. CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTs

• ROOM 2 playback feature allows you to play a different program source in another room as well as one source in the main

room at the same time.

• For ROOM 2 playback, connect the ROOM 2 OUT jacks to the amplifier, TV, etc. installed in another room, or connect the

SURROUND BACK/ROOM 2 speaker terminals to the speakers.

• When connecting the ROOM 2 /TAPE OUT jacks, you should assign the output to the ROOM 2.

(For details, refer to "When selecting the OUT ASSIGN" on page 37.)

• When connecting the SURROUND BACK/ROOM 2 speaker terminals, you should assign the power amplifier for surround

back/room 2 channels to the ROOM 2. (For details, refer to "When selecting the AMP ASSIGN" on page 37.)

Notes :

• To minimize hum or noise, use high quality connection cords.

• You cannot use the digital audio signal for ROOM 2 playback.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-

channel digital signal format which can handle higher data

rates. Discs bearing the " " include the recording of

up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can be generally

thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio

compression required.

It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting

in magnificent sound.

DTS - ES Extended Surround™ ( )

This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly

improves the 360- degree surround impression and space

expression thanks to further expanded surround signals,

offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format.

In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround

also offers the surround back (sometimes also referred to as

"surround center") channel for surround playback with a total

of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two

signal formats with different surround signal recording

methods as follows:

• DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1

Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround back

channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense

that the acoustic image are moving about freely among the

background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees.

Though maximum performance is achieved when sound

tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES

decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the

surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed

to the surround left and surround right channels so that none

of the signal components are lost.

• DTS - ES™ Matrix 6.1

With this format, the additional surround back channel signals

undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and

surround right channels beforehand. During playback, they are

decoded to the surround left, surround right and surround

back channels.

Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with

conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1

format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel signal

sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 -

channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder.

When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are decoded

with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is automatically detected

upon decoding and the optimum surround mode is selected.

However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected

as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix mode

should be selected manually to play these sources.

DTS Neo : 6™ surround

This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital

PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix

decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-channel

surround playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two modes

for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.

• DTS Neo : 6 Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is

performed with emphasis on separation performance to

achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as

with 6.1-channel sources.

• DTS Neo : 6 Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left

and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played

directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect

of the surround signals from the center, surround left,

surround right and surround back channels adds a natural

sense of expansion to the sound field.

DTS 96/24

Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies

of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum

playback signal frequency. With DTS 96/24, the sampling

frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide

frequency range of over 40 kHz. In addition, this format has

a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency

band and dynamic range as 96kHz / 24 bit PCM signals.

As with conventional DTS surround, DTS 96/24 is

compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels. DTS 96/24 is

fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround

format, so DTS 96/24 sources can be played using a

conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format

developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the

" " includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of

digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound

quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range

characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.

Dolby Digital EX

This mode creates the back (sometimes also referred to as

"surround center") signals from the surround left and right

signals in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel source using a matrix

decoder and provides 6.1 channel surround playback. For

the best results, this mode should be selected during

playback of sources(bearing the " ") recorded in

Dolby Digital EX.

With this additional channel, you can experience more

dynamic and realistic moving sound especially.

When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby

Digital EX decoder, the format is automatically detected

upon decoding and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected.

However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected

as Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX

mode should be selected manually to play these sources.

When selecting the AUTO SETUP

• Auto Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. Auto Setup

has the feature that provides the optimum listening environment at two main listening positions in your room, where

there are often multiple listeners viewing programs together.

You should connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information

from a series of test tones emitted from speakers at two main listening positions and can adjust the size, distance,

sound level, crossover frequency and frequency response of each speaker automatically.

For optimum effectiveness, move the microphone from first position to second position within the listening

area surrounded by the speakers while performing the auto setup.

About the first listening position

The first listening position is the point where a listener sits most often or the listening position when only one person is

listening. Measurements start from this point.

• If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the

"When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION" on page 45, "When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE" on page

47, "When selecting the SPEAKER X-OVER" on page 48, "Adjusting each channel level with test tone" on page 26 and

"Adjusting the current channel level" on page 27.

• After the auto setup has been completed, set the room EQ mode as desired. (For details, refer to "When selecting the

ROOM EQ" on page 49.)

About the speaker distance

When enjoying multi-channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, etc., it is ideal that the

center, surround and surround back speakers, etc. should be the same distance from the main listening

position as the front speakers. By entering the distance between the listening position and each speaker, the

delay times of center, surround and surround back speakers, etc. are automatically adjusted to create an

ideal listening environment virtually as if the center, surround and surround back speakers, etc.were at their

ideal locations respectively.

subwoofer).

• Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers to be connected. If the frequency range of your speaker

is 100 Hz~20 kHz, the crossover frequency should be set to 100 Hz(or slightly higher).

• When speakers are set to "SMALL", be sure to set their crossover frequency correctly according to

their frequency characteristics.

Press the CURSOR UP( )/DOWN( ) buttons to select the ROOM EQ.

When selecting the ROOM EQ

• The room EQ is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers. According to the acoustic characteristics of

your room measured by the auto setup, the room EQ automatically adjusts the frequency response of

speakers.

• If you use different brands or sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique acoustic

characteristics, such as walls, furniture, and the dimensions or the shape of the room, we recommend

using the room EQ.

Note :

• To use the room EQ, first you should finish measuring the acoustic characteristics of your room

performing the auto setup.

(For details, refer to "When selecting the AUTO SETUP" on page 43.)
