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.

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.

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.

When making system connections, please be certain the AC cord is not plugged into an AC outlet.
When making connections between components, please be sure to connect the white RCA plugs to the L (left) and the red
RCA plugs to the R (right) jacks respectively.
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best possible reception of your favorite FM stations.
A 75 Ohm outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception. Disconnect the indoor antenna before
connecting the outdoor antenna.
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 all connections firmly and correctly. Failure to do so can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.
If the electricity fails or the AC cord is left unplugged for about two weeks, all operating parameters in the unit’s memory
will be lost. Should this happen, you must enter them again.

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
This unit has 9 different surround modes to allow you to enjoy surround sound with various program sources:
DTS, DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC, THEATER, HALL, STADIUM, CHURCH, 6.1 CH SURROUND,
TruSurround.
DTS (Digital Theater System) : Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio
from DTS program sources bearing the “
” trademark such as laser
discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6
channels of transparent audio(which are identical to the original masters) and
results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360˚ sound field.
Manufactured under license from Digital Theater Systems, Inc. US Pat. No. 5,451,942 and other world-wide
patents issues and pending. “DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
© 1996 Digital Theater Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Note : The DTS program sources should be played back in the DTS mode. If not, no sound or sound like continuous
noise will be heard.
DOLBY DIGITAL : Allows you to enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program
sources bearing the “
” trademark such as laser discs, DVD’s etc.
Dolby Digital provides better sound quality, improved dynamic range and great sense of
direction, compared with the conventional Dolby surround. Now, you are able to enjoy real
Home Theater sound in your home.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC : This unit incorporates the Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder which has the same functions
for playback as movie theaters and gives a theater-like experience in your home, naturally
reproducing the audio sound field. Use with Dolby Pro Logic program sources bearing the
“
” trademark such as video cassette tapes or laser discs.
Manufactured under licence from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are
trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. Confidential Unpublished Works. © 1992-1997 Dolby Laboratories. All rights
reserved.
THEATER : This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater when watching a movie source that has a stereo
sound track.
HALL : This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall for classical music sources such as orchestral, chamber
music or an instrumental solo.
STADIUM: This mode provides an expansive sound field. For sources like a rock concert or athletic event you can
enjoy a true stadium effect.
CHURCH: This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque, string orchestral and choral group music.
6.1 CH SURROUND : This mode extracts the rear center signal from the rear left and right signals and reproduce
it as well as the original multichannel signals during playback of 5.1 CH program sources
such as DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.
TruSurround: TruSurround employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion of five “phantom”
speakers. Therefore, this mode allows you to experience a realistic multichannel experience from
any multichannel audio source and a original three-dimensional sound field from any stereo audio
source, through just a single pair of front speakers.
TruSurround and the
symbol are trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc. TruSurround technology is incorporated
under license from SRS Labs, Inc.
When the 6.1 CH DIRECT INPUTS are connected to the 6.1(or 6) CH decoder for a surround sound(such as Dolby
Digital or DTS, etc.), you can enjoy the corresponding surround sound, too. (For details, see the operator’s manual
of the component to be connected.)

ENGLISH

SURROUND SOUND

ENGLISH

Delay time
When the (front)center speaker or the rear speakers is(are) closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound
form the (front)center speaker or the rear speakers can arrive at the listener’s ears earlier than the sound from the
front speakers.
In this case, the imaging is not as sharp and stable as it could be.
For audible improvement, the sound from (front)center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting
to synchronize the sound from the front and the (front)center speakers and the sound from the rear speakers can be
also delayed with the rear delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers will be heard at
the same time.
The optimum delay time depends on the speaker placement in your room.
It is adjustable in Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic modes only.(For details, refer to “In Dolby Digital or
Dolby Pro Logic mode, adjusting delay times of the speakers” on page 21.)

Speaker placement
To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as
follows;
Front speakers: Place each front speaker about 1 m (40 ) from the TV set.
Front Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to
assure a good match between the audio and video of the center channel program.
Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1 m above the ear level of a
seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
Subwoofer: Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered subwoofer
anywhere in the front as desired.
Rear center speaker: Place the rear center speaker behind a seated listener at even
level with the rear speakers.
The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.( However, the rear
center speaker can be used for 6.1 CH Surround(as a surround mode) or 6.1 CH
DIRECT(as an input source) only.)
To accurately reproduce DTS digital surround, center and rear speakers as well as
front speakers should be full range speakers.
To enjoy the surround sound best, the speakers to be connected are as follows;

In Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic mode,
adjusting delay time of the speakers

In the Dolby Digital mode, the optimum performance of
your system occurs when the sound from all five speakers
arrives at your primary listening position at the same time.
If all speakers are equidistant from the main listening
position, set the following delay.
(Front) center delay time: 0 mS, Rear delay time: 0 mS
If the (front) center speaker is closer to your prime
listening position than the average distance to the left and
right main speakers add 1 mS of (front) center channel
delay for each foot of difference. The maximum is 5 mS.
If the surround speakers are closer to your main listening
position than the main left and right speakers add 5 mS
of surround channel delay for each 5 feet of difference.
The maximum is 15 mS.
In Dolby Pro Logic mode, rear channel delay can be
adjusted to add spaciousness to the presentation and to
minimize any sibilant leakage into the surround channels.
If the surround speakers are the same distance from your
primary listening position as your main left and right front
speakers, set the Rear Delay time at 15 mS.
If the surround speakers are closer to your main listening
position than the main left and right speakers, your receiver
allows you to optimize the arrival time of the sound from
your speakers. This can help focus the audio image and add
enjoyment to your home theater experience.
Measure the distance from the prime listening position to
each of the speakers to the nearest foot.
Add 5 mS of surround channel delay for each 5 feet of
difference. The maximum is 30 mS.

Check the current
delay time.
