PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING

WARNING: to prevent f ire or shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. Care should be taken to prevent objects or liquid from entering the enclosure. Never handle the power cord with wet hands.

The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the unit.

Caution: To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable

servicing to qualified service personnel.

If an outdoor antenna is connected to the antenna input, be sure it is grounded to provide som e protection agains t voltage surges and built up static charges. Keep the outdoor antenna away from power lines.

Unplug the receiver from the AC outlet when plugging in or unplugging cables, when left unused f or an extended period of time, moving the receiver, or when you suspect lightning in your area.

Prevent damage to the power cord. Do not bend, pull, place objects on, alter, etc. Replace the power cord if it becomes damaged. Always grasp the plug on the power c ord when plugging in or unplugging the receiver from the AC outlet.

Your system may produce sound levels capable of causing perm anent hearing los s. Do not operate f or extended periods of time at high volume levels.

Make sure the receiver is placed on a level surface. Protect the receiver from impact. (Do not drop it!!!) Do not climb on top of the receiver or place heavy objects on its top cover. The receiver is equipped with raised f eet to provide ventilation, reduce acoustic feedback, and provide protec tion

against scratching the surface the unit is resting on. We advise against removing or altering feet. Do not stack anything on top of the receiver (proc essor, source, etc .) Leave a minimum of 3” c learance from the

top of the receiver to the next shelf (or component). The receiver should be located away from heat sources such as heaters or amplifiers. Do not perform any internal modifications to the receiver. Always connect the receiver’s power cord to an unswitched AC outlet for normal operation. If young children are present, adult supervision should be provided until the children are capable of following all

rules for safe operation. Do not plug the receiver’s power cord into an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be careful if

using extension cords and ensure the total power used by all devices does not exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) of the extens ion cord. Exc ess ive loads m ay cause the ins ulation on the c ord to heat and pos sibly melt.

Mistaking receiver or other components.

Damage can occur to your speakers if the power rating of each individual driver is exceeded by the receiver. Ensure that all the drivers in your system are capable of handling not only the average power being delivered by the receiver, but also the peak power that is likely to be generated during strong passages. your speaker's power rating, contact the speaker manufacturer or the dealer where you purchased them.

THE BASICS

The following is intended to familiarize users with common terms and applications of Home Theater equipment.

Sources -

from its on-sc reen menu system. Typically you will want to connect a number of additional sourc es (VCR, DVD player, etc.) to your receiver. Your receiver is designed to accommodate a wide range of audio and video signals.

The following table lists the most popular home theater media and how the audio information is stored.

Analog vs. Digital Audio -

how they are delivered to your receiver from the source. Analog signals ex actly represent the sound you will hear through a continuously varying voltage. Audio and video cassettes are analog recordings and are normally delivered to your receiver over a pair of coaxial audio cables.

Digital signals closely approximate the original audio signals with a set of numbers referred to as a bitstream . CDs and DVDs are sources of digital audio and are norm ally connected to your receiver through a coaxial or optical digital cable. There are several different bitstream formats available. The simplest form at is called Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). In PCM, the bitstream directly represents the original 2-channel audio. In Dolby Digital and DTS (see “Surround Formats” below) bitstreams are modified using a process called compression to squeeze more information into limited space. DTS squeezes 5.1 channels into the space normally required for two uncompressed channels, while Dolby Digital squeezes 5.1 channels into about ¼ the space required for two channels. Your receiver automatically detects the bitstream curr ently being provided from the sourc e and perfor ms the required decompression and surround processing. If no digital signal is present your receiver will automatically switch to analog processing.

your receiver can directly provide audio from its built-in AM/FM tuner. It can also provide limited video

This refers to the m ethod used to place audio inform ation on the source m aterial and

All sounds that you hear from your speakers are analog. Digital s ignals are automatically converted to analog by your receiver before being output to your speakers.

If analog signals exactly represent the audio, while digital signals only approximate it, why would I want to use digital?

All analog sources add some amount of noise and distortion to the audio signal. Additional noise can be picked up through the cables f rom the source to your receiver. It is impossible for the receiver to tell the difference between the desired signal and the added noise and distortion, so it reproduces both of them. The result is increas ed background noise and decreased dynamic range and fidelity. Digital signals are virtually immune to noise and distortion. The receiver can, therefore, reproduce the signal with the greatest possible fidelity. We recommend you use digital signals wherever possible. Also Dolby Digital and DTS (see “Surround Formats” below) work only

Surround Formats

Monaural (Mono)

Modern recordings are seldom m ade in this for m at, but mos t older m ovies and m usic ar e available only in this format. You m ay get mono from any source - digital or analog. Sound will norm ally come only from

- Your source material will be in one of five possible formats described below.

- This is the oldest format available. It contains a single, full range audio channel.

with digital signals.

p/n 12699 Rev. 9812C

your center channel speaker, but your receiver can produce m ono in two or four channels ( see “Surround Mode”). Since all moder n sources are ster eo, the mono inform ation is usually replicated on both the left and right channels.

Stereo - Stereo contains two discrete, full range audio channels. This is the most common format for

music and is also used on many movies. You may get stereo from any source - digital or analog. Sound will normally come only from your front left and right speakers , but your receiver can additionally produce stereo in four or five channels (see “Surround Mode”).

Dolby Pro Logic - Dolby Pro Logic is a refinement of Dolby Surround which was the earliest form of true

surround processing. Like Stereo, Dolby Surround contains two discrete, full range audio channels. In addition, a monaural, limited range rear channel is encoded on the two stereo channels in a process called matrixing. T he rear channel information is encoded in positive polarity on the left channel and in negative polarity on the right channel. The Dolby Processor can detect this encoding (lef t m inus right) and send that information to the rear channels. Dolby Pro Logic adds additional processing to produc e a full range center channel by extracting the m ono inform ation from the left and right channel. T his is the m ost common f orm at for all but the mos t recent m ovies. Mus ic sourc es are oc casionally encoded in Pro Logic. However, many people prefer to use Pro Logic processing on all of their stereo sources. The center channel extraction process often yields improved stereo imaging, especially when you are sitting away from the “sweet spot” at center of the listening area. The rear channel processing of ten lends a pleasing ambiance even to mater ial that is not Pro Logic encoded. Dolby Pro Logic is fully compatible with ster eo and you may get it from any source - digital or analog. Sound will normally com e from all f ive speak ers in your system, but your receiver can reduce the number of channels to two or four (see “Surround Modes”).

Dolby Digital (also referred to as AC-3) - Dolby Digital contains up to five discrete, full range audio

channels plus an additional Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel. The LFE channel contains only low frequency information for enhanced sound eff ects in movies. This combination of f ive discrete channels plus a LFE channel is often r eferred to as 5.1 channels. Dolby Digital is a digital f ormat only. It must be delivered to your receiver over a coaxial or optical digital cable. As of the writing of this manual, Dolby Digital is comm ercially available on DVD (Also see your own Dolby Digital CDs and DATs if you have the recording equipment. You can’t directly record Dolby Digital onto minidisc or digital c ompact cass ette since these devices add their own compress ion which is incompatible with the Dolby Digital compression. Sound will normally come from all five speakers in your system, but your receiver can reduce the number of channels to two or four (see “Surround Mode”). Not all Dolby Digital recordings will include all five channels, and, in fact, it is common on DVDs to have two channel Dolby Digital with or without Pro Logic processing.

Dolby Digital RF

below). It is also possible to cr eate

Dolby Digital RF (also referred to as AC3-RF) - Dolby Digital RF is identical to normal Dolby Digital

except that it uses a special RF encoding scheme to put the bitstream on Laserdiscs without replacing the normal stereo (or Pro Logic) PCM bitstream that is normally available from laserdisc. In order to use Dolby Digital RF laserdiscs you must have a B&K DT-1 RF demodulator or similar product from another manufacturer. For best results with your receivers Plug and Play capability we strongly recommend the DT-1.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) - DTS is the latest surround sound technology. DTS is similar to Dolby

Digital in that it provides 5.1 discrete audio channels. However, it us es more digital data to encode the information and may provide greater fidelity than Dolby Digital. DTS is a digital format only. It must be delivered to your receiver over a coaxial or optical digital cable. As of the writing of this manual, DTS is commerc ially available only on laserdisc and CD with DVD coming soon. No RF demodulator is required for DTS laserdiscs since the DTS bitstream replaces the normal PCM bitstream. Like Dolby Digital, you can create your own DTS DATs or CDs but not minidisc or digital compact cassette. As with Dolby Digital, sound will normally come from all f ive speakers in your system, but your rec eiver can reduce the num ber of channels to two or four (see “Surround Mode”).

NOTE: The AVR101 series 100 processes Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital, it DOES NOT process DTS. The AVR101 can be upgraded to process DTS. Contact B&K or your B&K dealer for information on upgrades. The AVR202 series 200 processes Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, and DTS.

p/n 12699 Rev. 9812C

Bass Management - Dolby Digital and DTS formats contain up to 5 full range channels plus LFE. Only a system

with five full-range (large) speak ers plus a subwoofer can directly reproduce these f ormats. However, almost all commercially available center channel speakers are small and incapable of reproducing the lowest bass frequencies without distortion or even dam age to the speak er. Many people also use sm all speak ers in the rear of their system, while others use sm all s peakers all around. Use of a s ubwoofer is almost mandatory when using five small speakers , but people with at least two large speakers may or may not choose to use a subwoofer . Some people may not use a center channel or rear speak ers at all. In order to handle any possible com bination of large, small, or missing speakers, a home theater system must contain good bass management, a concept often missing from two-piece systems where the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder is separate from the preamp. Your receiver contains a complete bass management system. You can use as few as two large front left and right speakers or two small left and right speakers plus a subwoofer or as many as five full range speakers plus a subwoofer or any combination in between without miss ing any information. Wher ever s mall speakers are used the bass management system prevents low bass information from going to that speaker (“high pass”). This bass information is rerouted to a speak er that can handle it, usually a subwoofer, but it can also send center, rear, or LFE bass to large front speak ers if no subwoofer is available. W hen center or rear speak ers are not used at all, the missing channel is sent (“downmixed”) to the front speakers.

Preamp - A preamp typically includes the capability to select from a num ber of s ources, adj ust volum e levels and

route the data to an amplifier. Your receiver includes a high quality preamp.

Processor - A processor typically includes the capability to decode one or more surround form ats, and convert

between digital and analog as required. Your receiver includes a high quality processor capable of decoding the surround formats described above.

Zone - A zone is usually a room that has speakers installed in it. Your receiver includes a full preamp/pr ocessor

for zone 1 plus an additional analog stereo pream p for zone 2. This allows, for exam ple, watching a Dolby Digital movie in zone one while simultaneously using the built-in AM/FM tuner in another room.

Amplifier - An amplifier takes the output of a preamp/processor and increases its level to that necessary to drive a

speaker. Your receiver includes a high quality five-channel amplif ier capable of excellent resu lts with most speaker systems. Your receiver also inc ludes direc t pream p/proc essor outputs if you wish to use exter nal am plifiers . If you are using a subwoofer it must be a self -powered type or a passive sub with an external amplifier. You must also provide external amplification for the second zone if you should use that capability.

Speakers - A surround sound system typically uses 5 speak ers located left front, center front, right front, right

rear, and left rear plus a subwoof er located anywhere in the room. Best results are achieved using five identical full range speakers plus subwoofer. This is not always prac tical. Excellent results can be ac hieved using smaller and/or fewer speakers, as long as you go through the set up procedures described later in the manual.

Composite vs. S-video - Composite video is the oldest standard for color video. It combines the luminance

(brightness or black-and-white) and chr ominance (color) inf ormation onto a single conductor. T hese signals must be separated again for display resulting in som e degr adation of the video quality. S-video is a newer s tandard that uses separate conductors f or the luminance ( Y) and chrominance (C) inf ormation res ulting in better video quality. Your receiver is capable of switching both c omposite and S-video signals, but it cannot convert between video types.

MAKING THE CONNECTION

It’s tempting to just plug in your new receiver and have great sound pour out. Before you do that, take a few minutes to plan out how you want the receiver to fit into your audio/video system. Ask yourself the following questions:

What source components do I want to connect to my receiver? (CD, VCR, etc.)

What equipment will be receiving the audio and video? (TV monitor, Speakers, etc.)

The answers to your questions determine how many cables you need to connect to the back of the receiver. G ood preplanning equals great sound. Keep these recommendations in mind:

List all components in your system and indic ate whic h j acks of the receiver eac h c omponent will be connected to. Your receiver has seven sets of inputs. It is convenient to connect a DVD player to the input labeled DVD or a VCR to the input labeled V1 or TAPE, etc. However, your equipm ent may differ from the labeling on the back of your receiver. In m ost cases you can connect any type of source to any input (see FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS). For exam ple, if you don’t have a satellite receiver you can connect a DAT player or a second cassette deck to SAT . You can also reprogram the source name that will appear on your receiver’s front panel and on-screen display (see SETUP - SOURCE NAMES)

Also note the length of the cable for each component’s connec tion and describe how it should be routed or draw your routing scheme below your list. You may want to label each cable with a name or number at both ends. Use high quality connections to maintain high quality audio and video.

Think about the type and length of cable you need and obstacles in the cable’s path (doorways, furniture, walkways, e tc.). To decide which ones are right f or you talk to your dealer about the various cable products that are available.

For safety, keep all cables out of high traffic areas (hallways or doorways) and away from equipment that radiates power, including amplifiers, power cords, heaters, etc.

If you might expand your audio/video system later, keep these ideas in mind as you plan current cable runs.

To provide the best tuner reception, m ake sure the antenna is at least several f eet away from the rec eiver and any other equipment that may produce high frequency interference such as Personal com puters, CD players, halogen lamps, etc.

Take a look at the back panel of the r eceiver. You will notice that the RCA-type audio input and output connectors are identified by colors, red for right channel and white for the left channel audio. Composite video input and output connectors are identified by yellow. Coaxial digital inputs are identified by orange. The surround outputs are identified by black.

Connecting A Laserdisc Player -

Dolby Digital (AC-3) laserdiscs use a special technique called AC-3 RF to encode the Dolby Digital bitstream. If the laserdisc player is capable of playing back Dolby Digital discs it will have a separate output for this bitstream in addition to the normal coaxial and/or optical outputs. Do not connect the AC3-RF output directly to your receiver. The AC-3 RF bitstream must first be conver ted to a normal (non-RF) Dolby Digital type signal. It is recommended that a B&K DT-1 be used to convert and select between the Laser’s AC-3 RF and PCM/DT S signals. The output from a DT-1 will automatically select between the connected PCM/DTS bitstreams and the converted AC-3 RF Dolby Digital signal. Other AC-3 RF to Dolby Digital decoders may not make this switch automatically.

Connect the laserdisc’s AC3- RF output to the DT-1’s AC-3 RF input. Connect either the laserdisc player’s PCM coaxial or optical digital output (not both) to the DT-1’s c oaxial or optical input. Connec t the DT-1’s c oaxial output to the desired coaxial digital input on your receiver.

Digital Outputs -

Connect to a digital recorder (CD- R, minidisc, DAT, pers onal computer, etc.) This signal is the same as the incoming digital signal from the selected source. If your digital recorder has both

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

My collection of equipment differs from the labels on the back of my receiver, how can I hook them up?

Your receiver provides 5 identic al sets of inputs - V1, V2, DVD, CD, and SAT. Each of these has analog audio, composite video, S-video, coaxial digital audio, and optical digital audio. It is convenient to connect components as labeled on the back of your receiver, but since all the inputs are identical, you can connect any compatible source to any set of inputs. For ex ample, you can connect a DAT player to V1 instead of a VCR. You can program your receiver to display any 5 character name for any input (see SETUP - SOURCE NAMES).

The sixth input, TV-V3, is identical to the others except that the optical digital input is replaced by a 3.5 mm coaxial f or simple connection to portable equipm ent or personal com puters. You can also connect portables to any other coaxial digital input using adapters or special cables. If you have a source with only optical digital output don’t connect it to TV-V3.

The seventh input, TAPE, has analog audio, com posite video and S-video, but has no digital inputs. It is primarily intended for analog recorders s uch as VCRs or cassette decks. If you have a three-head cassette or reel-to-reel tape deck you will prefer the TAPE input s ince it allows a full tape monitor capability. Tape m onitor allows you to listen to what is actually on the tape as you are recording it. The V2 input also provides full tape monitor capabilities f or zone 2. If you don’t use zone 2 you can use V2 as a second independent analog tape monitor loop. V1 includes a line level output but does not provide a true tape monitor capability.

My DVD player (or other source) has both optical and coaxial digital outputs. Should I connect both?

No, connect only one digital cable per source. (See also next question.)

Do I need an AC-3 RF demodulator (B&K DT-1 or equivalent) to playback Dolby Digital DVDs?

No, this is required only for Dolby Digital (AC-3) laserdiscs.

Do I need an AC-3 RF demodulator (B&K DT-1 or equivalent) to playback DTS laserdiscs?

No, this is required only for Dolby Digital (AC-3) laserdiscs.

Do I need to connect both analog and digital audio from my DVD player (or other digital audio source) to the receiver?

In general, it is simpler to connect both. However, if you can meet all of the following criteria you need only connect digital:

1. I do not use zone 2. (Zone 2 is analog only - if you use zone 2 you must connect both left and right analog to

hear audio.)

2. I do not own any old laserdiscs. (Early laserdiscs contained only analog audio tracks - you must c onnect both

left and right analog audio to play these back.)

3. I do not use T ape Monitor. (It is poss ible to tape digital-only sources. However, if you wish to listen directly to

the tape as you are recording - you must connec t both lef t and r ight analog audio - the tape m onitor loops are strictly analog.)

If the tape monitor loop is strictly analog, how do I make an analog recording of a digital-only source?

Do not select TAPE. Select the source you wish to recor d. Select STEREO Lt Rt mode. If that s ource is digital, the converted digital-to-analog will appear at the tape and V1 outputs. V2 out, like Z2 out, is analog only. (See also Operation - Source Selection and Operation - Surround Mode.)

I want to make direct digital recordings from my CD player (or other digital source) on my DAT (or other digital recorder). Can my receiver make this connection for me?

Yes, your receiver’s digital outputs act much lik e the analog tape outputs. When you select a source, if that source has a digital c onnection to your receiver, then that digital signal will appear on the receiver’s coaxial and optical digital outputs. Simply connect all of your sources digital outputs to your receivers digital inputs . You can then connect up to two digital recorder inputs to your receiver’s two digital outputs.

p/n 12699 Rev. 9812C

My laserdisc player (or other digital source) has only optical output, but my CD recorder (or other digital recorder) has only coaxial input. Do I need some sort of converter to make direct digital recordings?

No, your receiver will convert optical to coaxial and coaxial to optical. The cur rently selected digital input (optical or

coaxial) will appear at both of the receiver’s digital outputs (optical and coaxial).

Do I need to connect both analog and digital audio from my receiver to my CD, DAT, MD, etc. recorder?

In general, yes. If all of the sources you wish to record are digital, then you need only connect digital to your recorder. However, your receiver does not provide digital outputs for non-digital inputs. If you wish mak e a digital recording from an analog-only source you must also connec t analog from your receiver (T ape or V1 out) to your recorder.

Can I connect a phonograph directly to my receiver?

No, you will need a separate outboard phono preamplifier. The output of the phone preamp can then be connected to any analog input on your receiver. There are s everal high- quality outboard phono pr eamps available. Talk to the dealer where you purchased your receiver.

Do I need to connect both S-video and composite video to my receiver?

If all of your video equipment has S- video then you need only connect S-video. S-video is a higher quality video format and you will probably not want to use composite. If all or most of your video equipment is com posite then it is simplest to just connect the composite and omit S-video.

Can I connect mixed composite and S-video sources?

Yes, but your receiver will not convert S-video to com posite or com posite to S-video. If your monitor s and VCRs accept only composite video then there is no point in connecting S-video from other sources. If you use mixed S-video and com posite sour ces you must connec t both You will need to change your monitor or VCR S-video / composite inputs manually when you change sources. This can normally be done via the monitor’s or VCR’s remote control (or the supplied universal remote). Some monitors or VCRs may require you to physically disconnect S-video before they will accept composite video. Some monitors are capable of automatic switching between S-video and com posite, but this may not work correctly using your receiver’s Z1 output. Refer to your monitor or VCR manual.

S-video and composite to your monitors and VCRs.

To assist you, the receiver’s on-sc reen display will tell you what video is currently selected whenever you change sources or hit the SEL (rem ote) or ENTER ( remote or front panel) key, but it cannot switch your monitor or VCR input for you. Note that if the currently selected sourc e is S-video and your monitor is switched to c om posite, you will see a black-and-white picture on your monitor. If the currently selected source is composite and your monitor is set to S-video, you will see a grainy color picture.

Can I connect mixed composite and S-video monitors and VCRs?

Yes, but you must connect both S-video and com posite from all of your sources - your receiver will not convert between S-video and composite. Refer to the previous question if not all of your sources have both S-video and composite outputs.

For example, it is com m on to have an S-video monitor and a compos ite VCR. Connect the m onitor to the Zone 1 S-video output and the VCR to the V1 or TAPE composite output. T he compos ite inputs will appear at the composite outputs for TAPE and V1. (T he S-video inputs also appear at the T APE and V1 S-video outputs, but, in this example, they are not connected.) To prevent feedback, TAPE IN will not appear on TAPE OUT and V1 IN will not appear on V1 OUT - this also applies to the audio outputs . Zone 2 works the sam e for Z2 OUT and V2 OU T with feedback prevention on V2.

Things get a bit more complicated for the Zone 1 output because it contains your receiver’s internal on-screen display system. You must be sure that you tell your receiver which type of monitor you have in Zone 1 (see the following SETUP procedures). For the above example, connect your monitor to the Zone 1 S-video output and set the Zone 1 monitor type to S-video in the SETUP procedure The S-video inputs will appear at he Zone 1 S-video outputs along with your receiver’s on-sc reen dis play. Note that, f or the ex ample, to view the tape made on the composite VCR you will need to switch your monitor to composite - see the previous question.

In this mode the receiver automatically sets the surround mode to full 5.1 channel operation (or as many as permitted by your speaker setup) whenever a Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is detected regardless of what surround

mode you have selected. For example, load your CD changer with a normal PCM CD, a DTS CD, and another normal PCM CD and set the surround m ode to 3-STEREO. While the PCM CD is playing you will get sound from the front and center speakers only. When the disc changes to the DTS CD you will get sound from front, center, and rear. When the third (PCM) CD starts the receiver returns to 3-STEREO. Note that if a Dolby Digital or DTS source is currently playing and you change the surround mode the receiver will stay in the selected surround mode until you change to another disc. In MANUAL mode the chosen surround m ode remains set regardless of the bitstream detected

. In the above example only the front and center speaker s would be used on all three CDs even though the DTS CD was capable of providing full 5 channel sound. Note that the rear channel inf orm ation is not lost. It is s im ply mixed into the front speakers.

Set Stereo Operation - Most users wll pref er the factory setting - NORMAL. In this mode, the settings you will enter in the following speaker s etup apply to the STEREO surround mode as well as all the other m odes. Users with large front speakers m ay wish to use them with a subwoofer for movies to k eep the extrem e bass contained in some movies out of their front speakers. However, they may wish to use their front speakers as full range speakers when listening to stereo m usic material. If this is your case then set STEREO OPERAT ION to LARGE. We do not recommend using the LARGE setting if you use small, satellite or bookshelf speakers as the bass information even in stereo m usic may damage the speakers at high volum e levels. Some users m ay prefer the sound of their source’s (or separate) digital to analog converter over the converter contained in the receiver but still wish to use the receiver’s converter for Dolby Digital and DTS material. If this is your case then set STEREO OPERATION to DIRECT. Make sur e you have made both analog and digital connections from your source. In this mode when you choose STEREO your receiver will ignore the digital inputs. Note that direct mode also bypasses bass management s o that you get the purest possible sound f rom your outboard equipment. T his m eans that, lik e LARGE mode, you should not use DIRECT mode with small, satellite or bookshelf speakers.

Speaker Size and Delay

The speaker size and delay menu lets you tell your receiver how many speakers you have in your system, the relative size of the speakers, and their placem ent in the room . T his is the m ost im portant setup pr ocedure you will perform. The receiver c omes from the fac tory setup for 5 sm all speak ers and a subwoofer. If this does not m atch your speakers then audio information will be lost. For example, if you do not currently have a center channel speaker and you do not perform this setup proc edure, the center channel information will be lost. If you perform this setup correctly, the receiver will k now that you have no center channel speaker and send this inform ation to your front left and right speakers (along with the normal front lef t and right information) so no audio information is lost.

About Speaker Size

- Speaker size literally refers to the size of your speakers. Audio m aterial, particularly Dolby Digital and DTS movies, often contain large am ounts of bass. If this bass information is sent to sm all speakers that are incapable of reproducing so m uch bass, then the bass inform ation will be lost or distorted. MANY SMALL SPEAKERS MAY BE DAMAGED BY TOO MUCH BASS. By telling your receiver the size of your speakers, it will be able to intelligently route the bass to speakers that can r epr oduce it c or rec tly. T ypically, all bookshelf or s atellite speakers are considered small. Smaller floor standing speakers with single woofers 8” or less should also be considered small. Floor standing speakers with 10” or larger woofers or multiple smaller woofers may be considered large. These are general guidelines only - if you are unsure c onsult your speaker manuf acturer. If you have all small speakers we str ongly recomm end use of a s ubwoofer. If your front left and right speak ers ( or m ore) are large then you may not require a subwoofer, but you may still get better res ults using a subwoofer , especially with Dolby Digital and DTS movies.

Set your delays for speaker placement - Ideally your front and center speakers will be the same distance away from your listening area. If this is the case leave the Center Delay set to 0. However, physical limitations sometimes require placing the center speaker closer than the front left and right speakers. The center delay setting electronically “moves” the center speaker back into alignment with the front speakers. Measure the distance in feet to your front speakers and to your center speaker. Subtract the center distance from the front distance. Use this num ber for your delay setting (1 foot is roughly equal to 1 ms). If the result is negative s et the delay to zero. If the result is greater than 5 feet set the delay to 5 ms.

Ideally your front and rear speakers will be the same dist ance away from your listening area. If this is the case leave the Rear Delay set to 0. However, physical limitations often require placing the rear speakers c loser than the front speakers. T he rear delay setting electronically “moves” the rear speak ers back into alignment with the front speakers. Measure the distance in feet to your front speakers and to your rear speakers. Subtract the rear distance from the front dis tance. Use this number for your delay setting (1 foot is roughly equal to 1 ms). If the result is negative set the delay to zero. If the result is greater than 15 feet set the delay to 15 ms.

Speaker Calibration

Speaker calibration allows you to equalize the volume levels of each speaker to make up for differences in speaker characteris tics and distances from the listener to the speaker s. For best results it is important that you perform this calibration when you initially install your receiver, whenever you change speaker s, and whenever you rearrange your listening area. You may use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to perform this calibration or just use your ears. If you do it by ear you may wish to go through the speakers several times. Sit or place the SPL meter in your normal listening spot. Chec k that you are in the SETUP MENUS and that your remote is in AUDIO mode. Note that if you have turned a speak er OFF in the SPEAKER SIZE SETUP m enu then you will not be able to select that speaker in the SPEAKER CALIBRATION menu. Also note that the VOL on the remote will not function in this menu.

Direct Frequency Tuning

- Enter the frequency desired using the numeric keypad on the remote c ontrol. Press

CHANNEL UP to select the next preset channel. Manual Tuning - Quick presses of LEFT /RIGHT or turn and release of the VOLUME KNO B will cause tuning in

single 10 kHz steps. (9kHz steps for European version.) Seek Tuning - Holding LEFT/RIGHT or VOLUME will cause the tuner to SEEK (tune up or down automatically

stopping on strong stations). Once the tuner has star ted seek ing you can let go of the button/knob. Onc e a station is found you must

let go of the button/knob before you can change frequencies again. In strong signal areas the tuner may stop one step above or below the tr ue f requency. Unless you are sur e of the station’s f requency, check to see that the signal might be better one step above or below the fr equency that SEEK has found. In weak signal areas the tuner may continue to seek all the way to the end of the band. T o s top this s imply press the ARROW ( or turn the VOLUME KNOB) in the opposite direction.

OPERATION

The following outlines the normal day-to-day operation of your receiver from the supplied universal remote or directly from your receiver’s fr ont panel. The universal rem ote is also capable of c ontrolling other equipment and storing sequences of commonly used commands. Refer to the separate remote manual for details on these functions.

POWER ON/OFF

The main power switch on the front panel of your receiver must be on for the receiver to operate. When this switch is off all power is remo ved from your receiver. This prevents tur ning it back on with the remote control. You can use the main power switch for normal day to day operation but we suggest you use the sleep function instead so that the receiver can be turned on and off from the remote. Af ter turning on the m ain power you must wait a few seconds while your receiver restores its internal m emory. You may want to turn off the main power switch when your receiver will be idle for extended periods of time or during periods of power line fluctuations. Your receiver will not lose its memory while the main power switch is off.

SLEEP

Normally you will simply put your receiver to sleep (standby) when not in use. Sleep mode keeps a bare minimum of functions running in order to allow remote contr ol operation and fast s tart up. Note that the front panel SLEEP button is lit while your receiver is asleep and is off when your receiver is operating. Also note that the remote POWER button will not toggle your receiver in and out of sleep. You must use OFF.

SURROUND MODES

Your receiver provides a num ber of listening m odes. T he f ollowing table shows how your receiver res ponds to the chosen surround mode setting f or various types of source material. The table assumes five f ull range speakers plus a subwoofer. If your speak er configuration is different fr om this make sure you have perfor med the set up procedures described previously. When the setup is correctly performed your receiver will automatically route audio to fewer/smaller speakers with no loss of information. If you wish to temporarily reduce the number of speakers you are using do not repeat the setup procedure - simply choose the appropriate surround mode.

MODE

Note: your receiver keeps track of a s urround m ode for each of the sources . It would be possible, f or exam ple, to have your DVD player set to SURROUND while your CD player is set to STEREO. All you need to do is change sources and the surround mode you last used for that source will be recalled. HEADPHONE m ode, unlike the other surround m odes, applies to all s ourc es . This allows you to change sources while remaining in HEADPHONE mode. When you leave HEADPHONE mode, each source will return to the SURROUND mode that was previously active for that source.

Why do I need all these modes?

Many people will be happy leaving their receiver in SURROUND mode all the time. Your r ece iver will automatically switch back and forth between Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS (AVR202 only). Stereo material will be played back with Pro Logic decoding. ProLogic’s extraction of mono infor mation to the center channel works just as well on stereo (non-ProLogic encoded) m aterial and may provide improved imaging, especially when sitting away from the “sweet spot” in the center of your speakers. Only Dolby Pro Logic encoded 2-channel material has true rear speaker inform ation. However, ProLogic’s rear speaker processing may provide a pleasing ambiance effect on many stereo (non-ProLogic) soundtr acks . You can turn off center channel process ing by using STEREO HALL mode, you can turn off rear channel proces sing by using 3 STEREO m ode, or you can turn off both center and rear processing by using STEREO mode.

STEREO Lt Rt (R sources including Dolby Digital and DTS. Your tape outputs contain the sam e audio information as your left and right front speaker outputs. If you make a tape in a normal listening m ode such as SURROUND then the center and rear information will not appear on the tape. Sinc e the c enter channel c ontains m uch of the dialog f or m ovies , the tape will be almost useless . ST EREO Lt Rt m ode allows you to mak e a tape with little loss of infor m ation. You can’t directly make an analog tape of Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1, but STEREO Lt Rt will produce a Dolby Pro Logic compatible tape from 5.1 sources that will preserve much of the surround information. Note that Dolby Digital will mix LFE at 10dB below normal level in this mode.

WARNING: in order to make STEREO Lt Rt recordings with full range audio, it is necessary to override the bass management processing in your receiver. This means that full range audio (including LFE) will also be sent to your front left and right speakers. If you have small front speakers we strongly suggest you turn the volume down or even mute the volume while making STEREO Lt Rt recordings. Otherwise you can damage your speakers. The volume or mute setting does not effect the lev el from the TAPE and V1 outputs.

HEADPHONE mode is identic al to STEREO mode except that the inter nal amplifiers in your receiver are turned off. Also, som e of the CONT ROL outputs m ay also be turned off (typically CONTROL OUT 1) depending on how your receiver has been set up (see ADVANCED FEATURES), allowing you to turn off any external am plifiers or powered subwoofers with compatible CONTROL inputs.

WARNING: in order to provide full range audio to your headphones, it is necessary to override the bass management processing in your receiver. This is not a problem if you are using the internal amplifiers in your receiver since they will be turned off. However, if you are using external amplifiers or powered speakers with no CONTROL OUT capability then full range audio (including LFE for DTS) w ill also be sent to your front left and right speakers. If you have small front speakers we strongly suggest you manually turn off your external amplifiers or powered speakers before you can damage your speakers.

OVERRIDES

(

)

Some laserdiscs contain the normal movie soundtrack on the PCM, AC-3 RF or DTS digital soundtrack along with supplemental inform ation on the las erdisc’s analog trac k. Your rec eiver will automatic ally select the digital track if one is available. In order to reach the analog track we have provided an analog override to force the receiver to ignore the digital soundtrack. Note that your laserdisc player normally puts out converted digital soundtrack s on its analog output. You will also need to adjust your laserdisc player to get the analog track. Refer to your laserdisc manual. The override is not limited to laserdisc. It can be used with any source anytime you wish to hear the analog input rather than the digital.

Warning PCM tracks resulting in a loud noise on the source’s analog outputs. If you’re not sure, turn your receiver’s volume down before engaging the analog override. This warning does not apply to DVD players. All DVD players can properly interpret Dolby Digital tracks. Currently available DTS compatible DVD players have no analog output when the DTS track is selected.

When DTS started to make CDs and Laserdiscs, they made the bitstream fully compatible with the PCM standards. Unfortunately, this mak es it difficult to tell the dif ference between PCM and DT S. The result is that you will occasionally hear a short extraneous sound at the beginning of DTS CDs and laserdiscs or after fast-forward, pause, etc. W e have provided an override to eliminate this extraneous sound at the cost of automatic bitstream detection. If you find the extraneous sound unacceptable, engage the DTS override before playing your DTS disc. Remember that if you subsequently try to play any non DTS material you will need to manually switch back to auto (plug and play) operation.

Dolby Digital recordings may contain passages with very large dynamic range. This normally will enhance the Home Theater ex perience. However, it m ay not be desirable at all times , for ex ample, during late night listening. Dolby Digital bitstreams allow for listening with a compressed dynamic range that reduces high level passages and increases low level passages. T his allows the listener to hear quiet passages even at low volume levels while at the same time limiting the m aximum volume of very loud passages. Note: this override is available only for Dolby Digital recordings.

DTS and Dolby Digital are digital only formats. Your source may try to interpret these as normal

GETTING RECEIVER STATUS

If you are not in a menu, press ing ENTER will bring up a two-line status m essage. This display will also pop up automatically whenever you change sources or whenever the sourc e inform ation changes. T he video type is very important if you are using mixed composite and S-video sources since it will tell you how you must set your monitor for the bes t picture. T he bitstream and channel inform ation is particularly important with DVDs since they may contain multiple soundtracks. When you initially start the DVD you may get a Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack. To get the best possible sound, you may have to use the DVD player’s menu system to get to a Dolby Digital or DTS

5.1 channel soundtrack. If you ever need to call B&K regarding a problem with your receiver be sure to note the status display before calling.

ZONE 2 OPERATION

Via the Front Panel

You can control zone 2 from your receiver’s front panel by using the LEVEL button to step to ZONE 2. The front panel will now control zone 2. After a few sec onds of inac tivity, control will return to zone 1. T he SLEEP, PRESET , ENTER, UP/DOW N ARROWS, SOURCE and VOLUME KNOBS will func tion exactly as for zone 1. MENU and MODE buttons will not function in zone 2. The level button will instantly return front panel control to zone 1.

Via the Remote Control

You can set up your remote to control zone 2 instead of zone 1. Follow the instructions in the separate remote control manual for setting the AUDIO product ID to matc h zone 2 (product ID 2 unless you have changed it in ADVANCED ZONE SETTINGS). After setting your remote for zone 2 it will no longer control zone 1 until you change it back. If you use zone 2 often you may wish to purchase an additional B&K AV 5.1 system controller (or other compatible universal rem ote control) and leave it set up for zone 2. You may also wish to install a remote repeater system to allow zone 2 control from other rooms.

Via the Menu System

You can control zone 2 from the menu system using either the front panel or zone 1 remote. Choose Zone 2 Operation from MAIN MENU. (Be sure the remote is in AUDIO mode.)

Z1 Product ID -

Each message transmitted from your remote includes a Product Code, identifying the manufacturer, and a product ID code from 1 to 16. The product ID code allows multiple B&K products to be controlled from the sam e r emote. Your rec eiver actually uses two product ID codes - one for zone 1 (normally set to ID code 1) and the other for zone 2 (normally set to ID code 2). If you have a system with multiple B&K products then you may wish to set the product ID codes to other values. Note that you cannot set the Z1 produc t ID to the same setting as zone 2 or vice versa. If you need to set zone 1 to the current zone 2 setting then set zone 2 to some other value first. Make sure you are in the ADVANCED ZONE SETTINGS menu and the remote is in AUDIO mode.

WARNING - if you change the product ID code in the receiver without making the corresponding change to the remote then the remote will no longer work. Refer to the separate remote manual for details on changing the remote’s product ID (“device code”).

V1 Output - V1 output is normally set up as a tape loop. The V1 and Z1 output are the current source (V2, TV-V3, CD, DVD, etc.) except when the current selection is V1. When V1 is selec ted as the sour ce, the Z1 output is V1 and the V1 output is off . This prevents f eedback when the V1 inputs and outputs are connected to a tape deck or VCR. Feedback can cause high frequency oscillations which may damage your speakers. If you don’t connect a tape deck to the V1 input and output you can use the V1 output as an additional line out. In this mode V1 output is always the selected input including V1. Note: The Tape input and output is always set up as a tape monitor for zone 1.

Z2 Product ID - Each message transmitted from your remote includes a Product Code, identifying the

manufacturer, and a product ID code from 1 to 16. The product ID code allows multiple B&K products to be controlled from the sam e r emote. Your rec eiver actually uses two product ID codes - one for zone 1 (normally set to ID code 1) and the other for zone 2 (normally set to ID code 2). If you have a system with multiple B&K products then you may wish to set the product ID codes to other values. Note that you cannot set the Z1 produc t ID to the same setting as zone 2 or vice versa. If you need to set zone 2 to the current zone 1 setting then set zone 1 to some other value first. Make sure you are in the ADVANCED ZONE SETTINGS menu and the remote is in AUDIO mode.

WARNING - If you change the product ID code in the receiver without making the corresponding change to the remote then the remote will no longer work. Refer to the separate remote manual for details on changing the remote’s product ID (“device code”).

V2 Output - V2 output is normally set up as a tape loop. The V2 and Z2 output are the current source (V1, TV-V3, CD, DVD, etc.) except when the current selection is V2. When V2 is selec ted as the sour ce, the Z2 output is V2 and the V2 output is the previously selected source. This prevents feedback when the V2 inputs and outputs are connected to a tape deck or VCR. Feedback can cause high frequency oscillations which m ay damage your speakers. If you don’t connect a tape deck to the V2 input and output you can use the V2 output as an additional line out. In this mode V2 output is always the selected input including V2.

CONTROL OUT SETUP

Your receiver’s control outputs allow you to control up to 4 external devices such as power am plifiers, projec tion screens, etc. The control outputs can be progr ammed on/off depending on which source is selected. They may also have global control for all sources for headphone listening or remote repeater functions.

Control Out 1 -

example you may wish to use the control out to pull down a projection screen for your V1 and DVD sources but roll it up for Tuner and CD. Contr ol out 1 can also be s et to HEADPHONE m ode. HEADPHONE m ode is intended to control external amplifier s to permit headphone listening without the need for manually turning off your external amplifiers. HEADPHON E is a global setting for all sources - if you set HEADPHONE for one source it will be set for all other sources.

Control out 1 is dedicated to zone 1 it can be programmed to be on or off f or each source. For

Control out 2, 3, and 4 can be used in either zone. For each source they can be programmed to be on when that sourc e is selected in zone 1, zone 2, or both zones. If the source is selected in neither zone the control out will be off. Control outs 2, 3, and 4 can also be set to REMOTE.
