System Connections
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 receiver has two kinds of digital jacks (OPTICAL, COAXIAL), three kinds of video jacks (COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, and
COMPOSITE) as well as analog audio jacks for making connections with your video equipment. Depending on the capabilities of your
video components, hook them up to the corresponding input/output jacks for VIDEO 1 to 4 respectively.
Notes:
• When making COAXIAL DIGITAL connections use 75 Ohm Cable. Do not use standard audio patch cords.
• Not all of the commercially available Fiber Optic cables are suitable for use with this receiver. If you have a question as to the
suitability of any cable, please check with your dealer or a qualified service organization.
• Remove the protective cap before making any OPTICAL connections. Re-insert the protective cap when not using the OPTICAL Jacks.
■
• This unit incorporates COMPONENT as well as S and composite(normal) VIDEO jacks.
• For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows: “COMPONENT” > “S” > “COMPOSITE”.
• When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y” to “Y”, “C
B
” to “C
B
” (or “B-Y”, “P
B
”) and “C
R
” to “C
R
”(or “R-Y”,
“P
R
”). 
• Signals inputted into the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks will be outputted in only the MONITOR COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
• A signal inputted into the composite(normal) VIDEO IN jack will be outputted in the composite(normal) VIDEO OUT jacks. 
However, in case of S-VIDEO signal, a signal inputted into the S-VIDEO IN jack will be outputted in the S-VIDEO OUT jacks and the
MONITOR composite(normal) VIDEO OUT jack besides.
Notes
• The on-screen display function and recording the component video signals are not available when using the COMPONENT VIDEO
connections.
• When Sherwood DVD player such as V-756, etc. is connected to the DIGI LINK jack for system control, you should connect the DVD
player to the "VIDEO 2" jacks of this unit.

• The operating range of the remote control is about
23 feet (7 Meters) and it will operate at angles of
up to 30 degrees. Aim the remote at the remote
sensor.
Remove the cover. Load 2 “AA”batteries(1.5 V) matching the
polarity.

operate.
3Press the COMPONENT button on the
remote control corresponding to the
component you wish to operate.
4Aim the remote control at the REMOTE
SENSOR of the component you wish to
control and press the button corresponding
to the operation you want.
• Replace the batteries when the LED lamp flickers twice when any button is pressed.
• Replacing the batteries will restore proper operation and the memorized contents will be retained.
13
ENTERING A SETUP CODE
Find the setup codes according to the type
and the brand name of your component,
referring to “MANUFACTURER’S
CODES” in the operating manual of this
remote control.
2
Turn on the component you want to
control.
1
Press and hold down the SETUP button
until the LED flickers twice, then release
the SETUP button.
4
Press the corresponding COMPONENT button.
Example) When entering “0005” in the

your components.
7
• This remote control can control up to eight different components.
• Before operating audio and video components using the remote control supplied with this unit, the setup code for each
component must be entered.
• For system remote control operation, because “0001” is stored previously in the memory of the component button “AUD”
as its factory setup code for this receiver, “0004” in the memory of “AUX” for Sherwood tape deck, “1068” in the memory
of “CD” for Sherwood CD player and “0633” in the memory of “DVD” for Sherwood DVD player such as V-756, etc.,
entering its code for each Sherwood component is not necessary except in case that its code does not work.
However, for Sherwood MD recorder such as MD-7900R, etc., “0005” should be stored in the memory of “AUX” button
and for some Sherwood DVD player such as VD-4106, etc., “0591” as a setup code for DVD player should be stored in the
memory of “DVD” button.
Note: These codes for Sherwood components, including this receiver, are not listed in “MANUFACTURER’S CODES” in
the operating manual of this remote control.
• If entering is performed correctly, the LED will
flicker twice.
Note: If the LED did not flicker twice, then repeat the
above steps 3 to 5 and try entering the same
code again.
• Your component will be turned off.
• If it does not respond, repeat the above steps 2 to 5, trying
each code for your component until you find one that
works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code
using “SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE” in the
operating manual of this remote control.
Notes:
• If the components do not have a POWER button, press the
PLAY button.
• Although each setup code is designed to work with many
different modes, certain codes may not work with some
models.(Also, certain codes may only operate some of the
functions available on a given model.)
• When operating a Sherwood CD player or tape deck using
the system remote control, aim the remote control at the
REMOTE SENSOR on this receiver.
However, in case of Sherwood DVD player and MD
recorder, aim it at the REMOTE SENSOR on the
corresponding component.

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.)

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.

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;
6.1 CH SURROUND
DTS Dolby Digital Dolby Pro Logic TruSurround Other Surround Stereo
6.1 CH DIRECT
Front Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Front Yes Yes Yes Yes - Yes - Yes
Center
Rear Yes Yes Yes Yes - Yes - Yes
Rear Yes - - - - - - Yes
Center
Subwoofer Yes Yes Yes Optional Optional Optional

Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front left, right and center speakers.
Modes
Speakers
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.)

use of a wide range of speaker systems.
This circuitry works be redirecting the bass
frequencies or the entire channel to speakers that are
capable of reproducing them.
When a Large or full range speaker capable of deep
bass response is used for one of the channels, that
channel should be set to L.
When a small or satellite speaker with limited bass
capability is used, that channel should be set to S.
Deep bass from that channel will be redirected to the
main left and right speakers or to the subwoofer.
When there is no speaker available, that channel
should be set to N. All the information in that channel
will be redirected to other available speakers.

Check the current
delay time.

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.
Adjust the delay time.
