Congratulations on Your Purchase!
Your new high fidelity receiver is designed to deliver
maximum enjoyment and years of trouble free service.
Please take a few moments to read this manual
thoroughly. It will explain the features and operation of
your unit and help ensure a trouble free installation.
Please unpack your unit carefully. We recommend that
you save the carton and packing material. They will be
helpful if you ever need to move your unit and may be
required if you ever need to return it for service. Your unit
is designed to be placed in a horizontal position and it is
important to allow at least two inches of space behind
your unit for adequate ventilation and cabling
convenience.
To avoid damage, never place the unit near radiators, in
front of heating vents, in direct sunlight, or in excessively
humid or dusty locations. Connect your complementary
components as illustrated in the following section.

within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this appliance to rain or moisture.
Caution : Do not block ventilation openings or stack
other equipment on the top.

FOR U.S.A
Note to CATV System Installer: This reminder is
provided to call the CATV system installer's attention
to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines
for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that
the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.
FCC INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
CAUTION : Any changes or modifications in
construction of this device which are not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Caution regarding placement
(Except for U.S.A and Canada)
To maintain proper ventilation, be sure
to leave a space around the unit (from
the largest outer dimensions including projections)
equal to, or greater than, shown below.
Left and right panels: 5 cm
Rear panel: 10 cm
Top panel: 20 cm

FOR U.S.A AND CANADA .......................................120 V

FOR OTHER COUNTRIES ........................... 115 V/230 V

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are designed
for operation on 120 Volts AC only.

Units shipped to countries other than the above
countries are equipped with an AC voltage selector
switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following
paragraph for the proper setting of this switch.

Observe all safety precautions for use of a polarized
AC plug. However, some products may be supplied
with a non polarized plug.

AC VOLTAGE SELECTION
This unit operates on 115/230 V AC. The AC voltage
selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage
that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped.
Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet,
make sure that the setting position of this switch
matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to
your voltage in accordance with the following
direction.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide
blade of plug to wide slot, insert fully.

FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA ..........230 V/240 V
FOR YOUR SAFETY

AC voltage selector switch

Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation
on 240 V AC only.
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied
must be inserted only into a standard three-pin
power point which is effectively earthed through the
normal household wiring. Extension cords used with
the equipment must be three-core and be correctly
wired to provide connection to earth.
Improper extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified
electrician.

AC 230 V

AC 115 V

Move switch lever to match your line voltage with a
small screwdriver or other pointed tool.

PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE
All units are suitable for use on supplies 230-240 V
AC.

Please be certain that the receiver is unplugged from the AC outlet before making any connections.
Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R(right) jacks when making
connections.
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.
A 75Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.
Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.
Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a
direction for the best reception.
If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.
Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, poor connections can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.
If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about two weeks, the memorized contents will be lost.
Should this happen, memorize them again.

SURROUND SOUND
This unit incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound quality and sound
atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.

Surround modes
■DTS Digital Surround

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 Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal
format which can handle higher data rates than Dolby Digital. Although both
Dolby Digital and DTS are 5.1 channel formats, discs bearing the “
”
are 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™

(

“DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround” and “Neo : 6” are trademarks of
Digital Theater Systems,Inc.

)
■Dolby Digital

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 must be selected manually
to play these sources.
In DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS -ES Matrix 6.1 sources, the surround back
channel is monaural, but can be played through a single(in 6.1 mode) or
two surround back speakers(in 7.1 mode) depending on the surround
back speaker setting.(For details, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER
SETUP” on page 34.)

Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed by
Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the “
DOLBY ” includes the
D I G I T A L

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 Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel surround format
which consists of four channels ( front left, center, front right and
surround). Sources bearing the “
” provide the
DOLBY SURROUND
theater - like surround sound.
The surround channel is monaural, but is played through both surround speakers.

■Dolby Pro Logic II surround
This mode applies conventional 2- channel signals such as digital PCM or
analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals, etc. to surround
processing to offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic
circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes two modes as follows:
Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE
When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further enhance the
cinematic quality by adding processing that emphasizes the sounds of the
action special effects.
Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC
When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the
sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects.

■Dolby Virtual
This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion of
“phantom” speakers, this mode allows you to experience surround sound
effects from Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel (recorded in digital
PCM or analog stereo) sources, through just a single pair of front speakers.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
“Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double - D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.

■MPEG Multichannel
This mode is a surround system which faithfully reproduces the ambience and
dynamics of movie soundtracks and music alike. Though the number of audio
channels are same as Dolby Digital, discs bearing the “
”
provides much better at locating individual sounds to the correct and stable
position in the sound stage.

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 Movie
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.

■Extra Surround 6.1/7.1
This mode extracts the surround back (sometimes also referred to as “surround
center”) signals from the surround left and surround right signals and
reproduces it as well as the original multichannel signals during playback of
multi-channel program sources recorded in DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.

■Theater
This mode provides the effect of being in a theater -in-the
round when watching a play.

■Arena 1/2
This mode provides the feeling of a live concert in a medium
- sized (Arena 1) or large (Arena 2) arena.

■Movie
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater
when watching a movie.

■Club 1/2
This mode creates the sound field of a jazz club with a low
ceiling and hard walls (Club 1) or a live house with a
relatively spacious floor (Club 2).

■Hall 1/2
This mode provides the ambience of a chamber hall for
chamber music or an instrumental solo (Hall 1) or a concert
hall for orchestral music or an opera (Hall 2).

■Game
Use this mode to enjoy video game sources.
■Matrix
This mode reproduces a delayed signals from the surround
channels to emphasize the sense of expansion for music
sources.

■Stadium
This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the
true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.
■Church
This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque,
string orchestral or choral group music.

When using the 7.1 CH DIRECT INPUTs to play back the sound from an additional multichannel decoder for surround sound,
yon can enjoy the corresponding surround sound ,too.( For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component to be
connected.)

ENGLISH

Speaker placement
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 :

1
3

■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.

7
11

■Subwoofer
The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Place a powered 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.

■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 the 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 10 inches) 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.

When the analog input is selected as signal input and analog stereo signals are input, you can select the same
surround modes as those listed for the PCM input.
However, when DTS or MPEG signals are input in the following decoding modes, the corresponding surround mode will
be automatically selected regardless of using the MULTI CONTROL knob or DSP MODE button:
* When DTS signals are input in the auto or DTS mode, the corresponding DTS mode will be selected.
* When MPEG signals are input in the auto or MPEG mode, MPEG mode will be selected.
■Notes:
When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input
flickers, meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the
required decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.
When the 7.1 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, the surround mode cannot be selected.
When the source direct function is activated, the decoding mode and surround mode cannot be selected.

menu consists of 5 main menus: speaker setup, function select, surround setup, CH level trim and room 2 feed
setup. Some of these menus are divided up into various sub-menus.
The OSD menu settings are performed easily with the CURSOR control(▲, ▼, ◀, ▶), ON-SCREEN DISPLAY,
RETURN and ENTER buttons.
The “3”, “7”, “8” and “9” of the NUMERIC buttons do also work as the CURSOR control(▲, ▼, ◀, ▶)buttons do. In
this case, the “3” button stands for the CURSOR UP(▲) button, the “7” for the CURSOR LEFT(◀), the “8” for the
CURSOR DOWN(▼) and the “9” for the CURSOR RIGHT(▶ ).

Turn the menu screen on.

When selecting the DECODING MODE
Depending on the input digital signal format, you can select the desired decoding mode.
Auto : Select this for automatic detection of a digital input signal format.
The input digital signal format (DTS, Dolby Digital, MPEG or PCM(2 channel stereo), etc.) used by the selected digital
input source is detected automatically to perform the necessary decoding process for optimum surround modes.
Dolby Digital : Select this for Dolby Digital signal processing. The decoding process is preformed only when Dolby Digital
signals are input.
DTS : Select this for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is performed only when DTS signals are input.
MPEG : Select this for MPEG signal processing. The decoding process is performed only when MPEG signals are input.
PCM : Select this for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is performed only when PCM signals are input.
Notes :
Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.
Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off(or defeating) the equalizer.
Only when the digital input is selected as signal input for the input sources except TUNER and AUX, the decoding mode can be
selected.
Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the auto mode. In this case,
try playing in the DTS mode.

When selecting the surround mode
Depending on the input signal format and the selected decoding mode, you can select the desired surround mode as follows:
* When Dolby Digital signals are input in the auto or Dolby Digital mode, the following modes can be selected.
→ DOLBY DIGITAL(↔ DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MOVIE ↔ DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MUSIC ↔ DOLBY PRO LOGIC)↔ DOLBY VIRTUAL ←
Only when Dolby Digital 2.0 channel signals are input, the surround modes in ( ) can be selected, too.
* When PCM(2 channel stereo) signals are input in the auto or PCM mode, the following modes can be selected.

* When MPEG signals are input in the auto or MPEG mode, MPEG mode will be selected.
Notes :
When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input is flickering,
meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required decoding
mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.
When the 7.1 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, the surround mode cannot be selected.
