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! ª

Dolby Digital

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.

Dolby PRO LOGIC

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 space from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.

DTS-ES

The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents

6.1-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround. DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theatres that includes as addtional surround-center channel matrixed within surround-left and surround-right. It’s compatible on predecessor DTS 5.1 system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and steering of sound accross the rear soundstage.The DTS-ES receiver will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix. In the DTS-ES mode, the 5.1 or 6.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD disc (carrying the “DTS” or “DTS-ES” marking) can be played in Digital Surround. 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.

and three-dimensional

Multi channel mode (SRS Circle Surround

SRS Circle Surround II ™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multichannel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. 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.

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.

DTS disclaimer clause

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player. This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround TM decoder.

Notes

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

Input mode settings

CD/DVD, VIDEO2, VIDEO3 and DVD/6ch inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input. You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each connected component.

The initial factory settings for audio signal playback (CD/DVD, DVD/6ch) and (VIDEO2, VIDEO3) are digital and analog respectively.

To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 input), you must set the input mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode. After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the steps below.

INPUT MODE

Input Selector

1 Use the Input Selector keys to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2, VIDEO3

or DVD/6CH.

2 Press the INPUT MODE key.

Each press switches the setting as follows:

In DTS play mode

1 FULL AUTO (digital input, auto detect) 2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)

In DVD/6ch play mode

1 FULL AUTO (digital input, auto detect) 2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input, manual sound) 3 6CH INPUT (DVD/6ch input) 4 ANALOG (analog input, manual detect)

In modes other than DTS or DVD/6ch play mode

1 FULL AUTO (digital input, auto detect) 2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input, manual sound) 3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)

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 the auto detect mode (AUTO DETECT indicator lights), the receiver selects the 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. The initial factory setting is auto detect on. 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. If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced.

Speaker placement

Center speaker

Front speaker

Surround speaker

Front speakers : Place to 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. Be sure to connect a center speaker when using the Dolby 3 Stereo mode. Surround speakers : Place to 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. ¡

• 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.

Channel space switching

(Except for the U.S.A., Canada and Australia)

The space between radio channels has been set to the one that prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area where the system is to be used, for instance when you move from area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper reception of AM/FM broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case, change the channel space setting in accordance with your area by referring to the following table.

2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before,

replace both batteries with new ones.

3. Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a

high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction. In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent malfunction.

Important notes

Here is list of adjustment which can maximize the operation of your remote control. For optimal operation of the remote control:

1 Aim the remote control toward the room where the receiver is

located.

2 Do not position the receiver and remote control near metal (such

as heat ducts). Metal can absorb RF signals.

3 Make sure the batteries in the remote control are fully charged.

Weak batteries will affect the range of the remote control.

4 When there is an obstruction around other equipments that send

signal from the remote control, the control distance of the RF remote signal will be short.

Note

• The tests for range limits of the remote control and the receiver are

conducted in open-air distance test. Actual distance of the signal will be based on the construction of the building the unit is being used in as well as other factors such as outside interference.

Surround modes

DTS-ES

The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents

6.1-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround. DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theatres that includes as addtional surround-center channel matrixed within surround-left and surround-right. It’s compatible on predecessor DTS 5.1 system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and steering of sound accross the rear soundstage.The DTS-ES receiver will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix. The DTS-ES decoders used in home cinema systems have decoding options for utilising the extra channel, in addition to processing existing 5.1 channel surround sound : DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction. NEO:6 is a new technology which decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked ous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

Note Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed into this receiver are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “PRO LOGIC”. The “MOVIE” mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the “MUSIC” mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls, like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama mode” to allow optimization of the soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various adjustment of the left-centerright speakers’ balance; the “Panaroma mode” extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

Multi channel mode (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 surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II. The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements for multi-channel content. It creates a listening environment that places the listener “inside” music performances, and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material. The CS decoder also includes the SRS technologies Focus™ and TruBass™. Focus electronically raises the sound stage from the speaker location to an optimal position. TruBass creates deep, rich bass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwoofer.

DVD 6-channel mode

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.

DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places). The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.

Midnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)

When watching movies at night, you might not be able to raise the volume as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic range of previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.
