Chapter 2:
Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you’re in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on your speaker setup, but also on the source and the sound settings of the receiver.
This receiver will automatically decode multichannel Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround sources according to your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in
Listening to your system on page 23.
With the following quick setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings.
•Be sure to complete all connections before connecting to an AC power source.
1 Connect your TV and Blu-ray Disc player or DVD player.
See Connecting a TV and Blu-ray Disc player or DVD player on page 9 to do this. For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital connection from the BD/DVD player to the receiver.
2 Connect your speakers and place them for optimal surround sound.
See Connecting the speakers on page 15.
Where you place the speakers will have a big effect on the sound. Place your speakers as shown below for the best surround sound effect. Also see Hints on speaker placement on page 16 for more on this.

3 Plug in and switch on the receiver, followed by your BD/DVD player, subwoofer and TV.
Make sure you’ve set the video input on your TV to this receiver. Check the manual that came with the TV if you don’t know how to do this.
4 Set the connection of the speaker and the subwoofer.
Perform Speaker setting in Manual speaker setup on page 30.
5 Play a BD/DVD, and adjust the volume.
Make sure that BD/DVD is showing in the receiver’s display, indicating that the BD/DVD input is selected. If it isn’t, press BD on the remote to set the receiver to the BD/DVD input.
There are several other sound options you can select. See Listening to your system on page 23 for more on this.1 See also The Manual speaker Setup menu on page 30 for more setup options.
Note
1Depending on your BD/DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case, the listening mode must be set to STANDARD (it should already be set—see Listening in surround sound on page 23 if you need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.

03 Connecting up
Caution
•These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.
•Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers (following), but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them.
•Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.
•When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV.
•Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
•If possible, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
16
•Try not to place the surround speakers further away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
•To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.
Caution
•If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
•Make sure no exposed speaker wire is touching the rear panel, this may cause the receiver to turn off automatically.

05 Listening to your system
This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses phase correction measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/or coloring of the sound (see illustration below).
During multichannel playback, LFE (LowFrequency Effects) signals as well as lowfrequency signals in each channel are assigned to the subwoofer or other the subwoofer and the most appropriate speaker. At least in theory, however, this type of processing involves a group delay that varies with frequency, resulting in phase distortion where the low-frequency sound is delayed or muffled by the conflict with other channels. With the Phase Control mode switched on, this receiver can reproduce powerful bass sound without deteriorating the quality of the original sound (see illustration below).

Phase Control technology provides coherent sound reproduction through the use of phase matching1 for an optimal sound image at your listening position. The default setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control switched on for all sound sources.
MIDNIGHT PHASE S.RETRIEVER VOL
BD MENU
• Press PHASE to switch on phase correction.
Note
1Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’, they crest and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough (as shown in the upper section of the diagram above) then the sound will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.
•If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually feel when PHASE CONTROL is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer to maximize the effect.
It is also recommended you try changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.
•Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to OFF. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a higher value.
•If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a maximized PHASE CONTROL effect.
•The PHASE CONTROL mode cannot be set to ON in the following cases:
–When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.
–When the MULTI IN input is selected.
