WARNING

This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not place any container filed with liquid near this equipment (such as a vase or flower pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain or moisture.

WARNING

Before plugging in for the first time, read the following section carefully.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., 230 V or 120 V) written on the rear panel.

WARNING

To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame sources (such as a lighted candle) on the equipment.

VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 10 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 10 cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet or a bed.

CAUTION

The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound

The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise and testing for channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration

Important

These test tones are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a sub-optimal calibration.

Note

Note

1• If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.

Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during the Auto MCACC setup.

2If this doesn’t work, press SHIFT+MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the error message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.

3If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.

Important

If a USB ERR message lights in the display, it may mean that the power requirements of the USB device are too high for this player, or that the device is incompatible. Try the following:

Switch the player off, then on again.

Reconnecting the USB device with the player switched off.

Selecting to another input source (like DVD/CD), then back to USB.

Using a dedicated AC adapter (supplied with the device) for USB power.

If this doesn’t remedy the problem, it is likely your USB device is incompatible.

Surround sound settings

Using the Setup menu

From the Setup menu you can access all the

surround sound settings of the system1, including channel levels, speaker distances and dynamic range adjustment. The Auto MCACC feature (page 10) should give you the best surround sound setup. However you may find that by further adjustment of the surround sound settings you can improve the surround sound in your listening room.

1 Press SHIFT+SETUP and use / then

ENTER to choose the setting you want to adjust.

The available settings are shown in the front panel display.2

2 Use / to adjust then press ENTER to confirm and exit.

Note that using the Auto MCACC (page 10) again overwrites the speaker settings.

Channel level setting

Set the relative channel levels from your main listening position.3

Use / to switch between channels in the following order:

L – Front left speaker

C – Center speaker

R – Front right speaker

SR – Surround right speaker

SL – Surround left speaker

SW – Subwoofer

The channel level range is ±10 dB.

Speaker distance setting

Specifies the distance from your listening position to your speakers.

When DISTANCE appears, press ENTER, then use / to adjust the distance, and / to switch between the following speakers:

L – Front left speaker

C – Center speaker

R – Front right speaker

SR – Surround right speaker

SL – Surround left speaker

SW – Subwoofer

Each speaker can be adjusted between 0.3 m and 9.0 m. The default setting is 3.0 m.

Dynamic Range Control

Specifies dynamic range adjustment to Dolby Digital or some DTS soundtracks. If low level sound or dialog seem difficult to hear properly, this can help by bringing up the low level sounds, while controlling high level peaks.

DRC OFF (default) – No dynamic range adjustment (use when listening at higher volumes)

DRC MID – Mid setting

DRC HIGH – Dynamic range is reduced (loud sounds are reduced in volume while quieter sounds are increased)

Note

1There are other settings you can adjust from the Setup menu; these are explained in Improving poor FM reception on page 14 and Dimming the display on page 39.

2The setup menu is exited automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

3• You can’t adjust center/surround when Stereo or Virtual playback is selected (or with stereo sources using the Auto mode).

The Channel level setting is not available when headphones are connected.

The speaker volume can be adjusted at any time by pressing SHIFT+TEST TONE and then using / to adjust the channel levels. The test tone automatically moves from speaker to speaker in the order listed above. You should hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker when seated in the main listening position. Press ENTER when you’re finished.

Since the subwoofer produces ultra-low frequencies it may seem quieter than it actually is.
