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 according 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 soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
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 features 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.
SRS Circle Surround II
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 surroundencoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital /DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multispeakers. 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.
DTS and DTS-ES
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that provides five full spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer) channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel seperation and a (wide) dynamic range.
DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produce the discrete surround back which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesised within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the sound image from back.
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.
SPEAKER EQ
SPEAKER EQ function is to adjust the receiver’s audio output characteristics with the speakers’ characteristics which differs depending on the size of the speakers. Especially for the music sound source playback, the reproduced sound becomes more natural when adjusting the output characteristics. When activating the SPEAKER EQ function, you will be able to enjoy a more natural and dynamic sound experience even with small size speakers.
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 register the components you have connected.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for movie playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.

Setting up the system
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 components you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all connections are completed.
Notes
1.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 consumption 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 microcomputer referring to “In case of difficulty”. w
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.
Top panel : 50 cm Side panel : 10 cm Back panel : 10 cm
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input.
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for CD/DVD,
DVD/6CH, VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 3 are full auto.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the steps below.
INPUT MODE
Input Selector |
LISTEN MODE |
1Use the Input Selector keys to select CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 or DVD/6CH.
2Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DTS play mode
1 FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input) 2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)
In CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 or DVD/6CH play mode
1 FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input) 2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)
3 6CH INPUT (DVD/6CH input)
4 ANALOG (analog input)
Digital input:
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD player.
Analog input:
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR, or record player.
Auto detect:
In “FULL AUTO” mode (AUTO DETECT indicator light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically. Priority is given to digital signal during input mode selection. The receiver will select the input mode and listening mode automatically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS) and the speaker setting. The OPTICAL and COAXIAL indicator on the display will light up when digital signal is detected. If the input signal is analog, the ANALOG indicator will light up.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use the INPUT MODE key to select “DIGITAL MANUAL” (manual sound). However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases in which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a Dolby Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening mode and source signal.
At DIGITAL MANUAL, if the audio reproduction stops in the middle due to change in the input signals, etc. press the LISTEN MODE Knob.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

•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 impedance 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.

back speaker
Front (left and right) 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 (left and right) 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 reproduction from the speakers you have available. *
