SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: to prevent fire 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 parts inside. Refer

servicing to qualified service personnel.

If an outdoor antenna is connected to the antenna input, be sure it is grounded to provide some protection against 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 for 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 cord when plugging in or unplugging the receiver from the AC outlet.

Your system may produce sound levels capable of causing permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for 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 feet to provide ventilation, reduce acoustic feedback, and provide protection 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 (processor, source, etc.) Leave a minimum of 3” clearance 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 extension cord. Excessive loads may cause the insulation on the cord to heat and possibly melt.

Mistaking CONTROL OUTPUT or IR INPUT connectors for audio/video inputs or outputs may damage your 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 amplifiers, but also the peak power that is likely to be generated during strong passages. If you are unsure of your speaker's power rating, contact the speaker manufacturer or the dealer where you purchased them.

The receiver should be serviced by qualified personnel when:

A. The receiver is not functioning properly. B. Objects have entered the chassis. C. The receiver was exposed to rain or other type of moisture. D. The receiver was dropped, or the chassis is damaged.

THE BASICS

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

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

from its on-screen menu system. Typically you will want to connect a number of additional sources (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.

Source Media Analog PCM Dolby Digital DTS

Audio Cassette X Video Cassette X Laser disc (LD) X X X X

Compact Disc (CD) Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) Satellite Broadcast Digital Audio Tape (DAT) X X X X

Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) Mini disc (MD)

Analog vs. Digital Audio - This refers to the method used to place audio information on the source material and

how they are delivered to your receiver from the source. Analog signals exactly 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 normally connected to your receiver through a coaxial or optical digital cable. There are several different bitstream formats available. The simplest format 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 currently being provided from the source and performs the required decompression and surround processing. If no digital signal is present your receiver will automatically switch to analog processing.

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

Audio and Surround Formats - Your source material will be in one of seven possible formats described below.

Monaural (Mono) - This is the oldest format available. It contains a single, full range audio channel. Modern

recordings are seldom made in this format, but most older movies and music are available only in this format. You may get mono from any source - digital or analog. Sound will normally come from the seven speaker channels, but your receiver can produce mono in one to seven channels (see “Audio Modes under Operation”). Since all modern sources are stereo, the mono information is usually replicated from both the left and right channels.

with digital signals.

Stereo - Stereo contains two discrete, front left and right 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 from the seven speaker channels, but your receiver can produce stereo in one (mono) to seven channels (see “Audio Modes under Operation”).

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 surround channel is encoded on the two stereo channels in a process called matrixing. The surround 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 (left minus right) and send that information to the surround channels. Dolby Pro Logic adds additional processing to produce a full range center channel by extracting the mono information from the left and right channel. This is the most common format for all but the most recent movies. Music sources are occasionally encoded in Dolby Surround. 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 surround channel processing often lends a pleasing ambiance even to material that is not encoded in Dolby Surround. Dolby Pro Logic is fully compatible with stereo and you may get it from any source - digital or analog. Sound will normally come from all seven speakers in your system, but your receiver can produce sound in one (mono) to seven channels (see “Audio Modes under Operation”).

Dolby Digital - 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 effects in movies. This combination of five discrete channels plus a LFE channel is often referred to as 5.1 channels. Dolby Digital 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, Dolby Digital is commercially available on DVD and Satellite (Also see Dolby Digital RF below). It is also possible to create your own Dolby Digital CDs and DATs if you have the recording equipment. You can’t directly record Dolby Digital onto mini disc or digital compact cassette since these devices add their own compression which is incompatible with the Dolby Digital compression. 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. Sound will normally come from all seven speakers in your system, but your receiver can produce sound in one (mono) to seven channels (see “Audio Modes under Operation”).

Dolby Digital RF - Dolby Digital RF is identical to normal Dolby Digital except that it uses a special RF encoding

scheme to put the bitstream on Laser discs without replacing the normal stereo (or Dolby Surround) PCM bitstream that is normally available from laser disc. In order to use Dolby Digital RF laser discs 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 recommend the B&K DT-1.

Dolby Digital Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a new movie sound track that greatly enhances the

sense of spatial and positioning of the surround channel sound. This system was developed jointly by Lucasfilm THX and Dolby Laboratories, using Lucas film’s idea of improving spatial expression and achieving a 360 degree sound positioning with Dolby Laboratories’ matrix encoding technology. The surround back channel is matrixencoded and inserted into both Dolby Digital SL (surround left) and Dolby Digital SR (surround right) channels. Upon playback, the signals may be decoded by a high precision digital matrix decoder within the Dolby Digital decoder into SL, SR and SB channels.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) - DTS is similar to Dolby Digital in that it provides 5.1 discrete audio channels.

However, it uses 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. No RF demodulator is required for DTS laser discs since the DTS bitstream replaces the normal PCM bitstream. Like Dolby Digital, you can create your own DTS DATs or CDs but not mini disc or digital compact cassette. As with Dolby Digital, sound will normally come from all seven speakers in your system, but your receiver can produce sound in one (mono) to seven channels (see “Audio Modes under Operation”).

DVD Audio (also referred to as MLP) - Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP) is a lossless coding system for high-

quality linear PCM audio. For DVD-Audio MLP performs lossless compression of up to 6 channels of up to 24-bit material sampled at rates between 44.1kHz and 192kHz. Lossless coding does not alter the final signal, it ‘packs’ the audio data into a smaller rate and space. Currently, DVD Audio can only be delivered to your processor via the 6 coaxial digital inputs. The coax digital inputs may be configured internally for use as an analog 5.1 input. Sound will normally come from all seven speakers in your system, but your processor can produce sound in one (mono) to seven channels (see “Audio Modes under Operation”).

Home THX Cinema Processing - THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the

world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie and in your home theater, as faithful as possible to whate

the director intended. Currently, the AVR202 Plus does not support Home THX Cinema Processing

13259 0303

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

with five full-range (large) speakers plus a subwoofer can directly reproduce these formats. However, almost all commercially available center channel speakers are small and incapable of reproducing the lowest bass frequencies without distortion or even damage to the speaker. Many people also use small speakers in the rear of their system, while others use small speakers all around. Use of a subwoofer 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 surround speakers at all. In order to handle any possible combination 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 seven full range speakers plus a subwoofer or any combination in between without missing any information. Wherever small 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 speaker that can handle it, usually a subwoofer, but it can also send center, surround, or LFE bass to large front speakers if no subwoofer is available. When center or surround speakers are not used at all, the missing channel is sent (“down mixed”) to the front speakers.

Preamp - A preamp typically includes the capability to select from a number of sources, adjust volume 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 formats, and convert

between digital and analog as required. Your A/V system controller 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/processor

for Zone 1 (A) plus an additional analog stereo preamp for Zone 2 (B). This allows, for example, 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.

Speakers - A surround sound system use to typically use 5 speakers located left front, center front, right front,

right surround, and left surround plus a subwoofer located anywhere in the room. With the new developments in surround technology from companies such as Dolby Laboratories, DTS, and Lucasfilm, it is now possible to improve spatial expressions with an additional channel of information for use with a 6th and/or 7th surround back speaker. Although best results are achieved using seven large speakers plus a subwoofer, this is not always practical. Excellent results can be achieved using small and/or fewer speakers, as long as you go through the set up procedures described later in the manual. Your receiver includes the capability of reproducing up to 6.1 channels of surround information.

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

combines the luminance (brightness or black-and-white) and chrominance (color) information onto a single conductor. These signals must be separated again for display resulting in some degradation of the video quality. S-video is a newer standard that uses separate conductors for the luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) information resulting in better video quality. Component video is the newest form of video introduced with DVD. This video format uses separate conductors for luminance (Y), red - luminance (R - Y), and blue - luminance (B Y). Using these signals a component video capable monitor allows for even better and higher resolution video quality. Your processor is capable of switching composite and S-video with no support of component video signals. Also, you unit cannot convert between video types.

MAKING THE CONNECTION

It’s tempting to just plug in your new A/V 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:

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

y 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. Good preplanning equals great sound. Keep these recommendations in mind:

y List all components in your system and indicate which jacks of the receiver each component 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 equipment may differ from the labeling on the back of your receiver. In most cases you can connect any type of source to any input (see FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS). For example, 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 SYSTEM SETUP - INPUTS)

y Also note the length of the cable for each component’s connection 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.

y Think about the type and length of cable you need and obstacles in the cable’s path (doorways, furniture,

walkways, etc.). To decide which ones are right for you talk to your dealer about the various cable products that are available.

y 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.

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

y To provide the best tuner reception, make sure the antenna is at least several feet away from the receiver and

any other equipment that may produce high frequency interference such as Personal computers, CD players, halogen lamps, etc.

Take a look at the back panel of the receiver. 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 the Black connectors.

DIGITAL CONNECTIONS

Connect digital inputs (DVD, VLD, etc.) to the receiver. You will need either coaxial or optical digital inputs to play Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS surround sound processing. Digital connections are also recommended for PCM sources. If your source has both optical and coaxial outputs connect only one.

Coaxial digital inputs - standard RCA type connectors. Attach one end of your digital coaxial cable to your source coaxial digital out and the other end to the appropriate receiver coaxial digital (orange) input.

Optical digital inputs - First, remove the cap on the optical digital input. Save the cap. Attach one

end of your digital optical cable to your source and the other end to the appropriate digital input on the back of the receiver.

Connecting A Laser disc Player - Dolby Digital (AC-3) laser discs use a special technique called AC3 RF to encode the Dolby Digital bitstream. If the laser disc 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 converted 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/DTS 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

The Control outputs are programmable for each source in your system (see “Advanced Setup”). However, the receiver provides the following factory preprogrammed setup that should serve for most standard system applications.

Control 1 - HEADPHONE - On (+12 VDC) when Zone 1 (A) is on and not in Headphone mode, off when Zone 1 (A) is off or in Headphone Mode. This mode may be used for controlling external amplifiers or powered subwoofers in Zone 1 (A).

Control 2 - Zone 2 (B). On (+12 VDC) when Zone 2 (B) is on, off (0 VDC) when Zone 2 (B) is off. This mode is used for controlling external amplifiers, projection screens, etc. in Zone 2 (B).

Control 3 - Z1 + Z2. On (+12 VDC) when Zone 1 (A), Zone 2 (B), or both zones are turned on. Off (0 VDC) when both zones are off.

Control 4 -REMOTE. It will repeat a received 38 kHz modulated IR signal. The receiver will transmit received IR signals even in sleep mode.

Note - The control outputs can output a maximum of 50 mA. Check to see that the source you are connecting to the control out requires 50 mA or less current.

WARNING - Not all manufacturers adhere to the +12 VDC control specification. Check to see if your sources control inputs are +12 VDC compatible. Do not connect your receiver’s control outputs to a source with control or remote inputs rated at +5 VDC or other voltage rating. Damage to your source may result.

IR Inputs - Your receiver can be controlled by a directly connected IR repeater system in combination with or in

place of the supplied remote control. Connect your IR input cable to the receiver using a mono 3.5 mm jack shown above. The plug must be wired as tip (+) and the long barrel section (-). The inputs are standard 38kHz modulated IR type with a voltage range of +5 to +12 VDC.

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 identical 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 example, 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 System Setup - Inputs).

The sixth input, TV, is identical to the others except that there is no optical digital. 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.

The seventh input, TAPE, has analog audio, composite video and S-video, but has no digital inputs. It is primarily intended for analog recorders such as VCRs or cassette decks. If you have a three-head cassette or reel-to-reel tape deck you will prefer the TAPE input since it allows a full tape monitor capability. Tape monitor 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 for Zone 2 (B). If you don’t use Zone 2 (B) you can use V2 as a second independent analog tape monitor loop. V1 includes a line level output but does not provide 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.

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 laser discs.

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

No, this is required only for Dolby Digital laser discs.

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 (B). (Zone 2 (B) is analog only - if you use Zone 2 (B) you must connect both left and right analog to hear audio.)

2. I do not own any old laser discs. (Early laser discs contained only analog audio tracks - you must connect both left and right analog audio to play these back.)

3. I do not use Tape Monitor. (It is possible to tape digital-only sources. However, if you wish to listen directly to the tape as you are recording - you must connect both left and right analog audio - the tape monitor 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 record. Select STEREO 9, the LtRt mode. If that source is digital, the converted digital-to-analog will appear at the tape and V1 outputs. V2 out, like Zone 2 (B) out, is analog only. (See also Operation - Zone 1 Operation - Mode.)

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

Yes, your receiver’s digital outputs act much like the analog tape outputs. When you select a source, if

that source has a digital connection 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 three digital recorder inputs to your receiver’s three digital outputs.

13259 0303

My laser disc 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 currently 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 make a digital recording from an analog-only source you must also connect analog from your receiver (Tape 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 phono preamp can then be connected to any analog input on your receiver. We recommend our Phono 10 phono preamp. In addition to it’s superb analog audio processing, it has an option for S/PDIF coax output. 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 composite 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 composite or composite to S-video. If your monitors 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 composite sources you must connect both

S-video and composite to your monitors and VCRs. 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 composite. Your receiver must be setup properly in order to work with auto switching monitors - refer Setup Displays.

To assist you, the receiver’s on-screen display will tell you what video is currently selected whenever you change sources or hit the SEL (remote) or ENTER (remote or front panel) key, but it cannot switch your monitor or VCR input for you. If you are watching S-video, but the source is composite video only, you will see “Switch

Monitor to Composite” on your Monitor. If you are watching Composite video but your source is S-video only, you will see “Switch Monitor to S-video” on your monitor. These displays appear only if your receiver is setup for manual monitors.

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

Yes, but you must connect both S-video and composite 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 Svideo and composite outputs.

For example, it is common to have an S-video monitor and a composite VCR. Connect the monitor to the Zone 1 (A) S-video and composite outputs and the VCR to the V1 or TAPE composite output. The composite inputs will appear at the composite outputs for TAPE and V1. (The S-video inputs also appear at the TAPE 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 (B) works the same for Zone 2 (B) OUT and V2 OUT with feedback prevention on V2.

Things get a bit more complicated for the Zone 1 (A) output because it contains your receiver’s internal on-screen display system. You must be sure that you tell your receiver if you have a monitor which can automatically switch between S-video and composite outputs, or one which must be manually switched (see Setup Displays)

SETUP

For best results, perform the following set up procedure when you initially install your receiver and anytime you change or add sources, speakers, etc. or when you rearrange your listening area

THE MENU SYSTEM

Setup of your receiver will require you to navigate through the menu system. We recommend that you use a video monitor connected to the Zone 1 (A) output along with the remote control provided with your receiver. It is also possible to set up your receiver from the front panel. Do not leave your video monitor on with the receiver in the menu system for long periods of time. This can result in permanently burning the menu display into your monitor’s screen. This would take several hours so there is no danger of it happening during normal setup procedures. The following are general instructions for using the menu system. A complete guide to the menu system is included at the back of this manual.

MENU - If you are not already in the menu system, the MENU button will activate the menu system. Once you are in the menu system, the MENU button will return you to the next higher level menu or, if you are already at the highest level, it will exit from the menu system.

UP/DOWN ARROWS - Once you are in the menu system, use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to move to the desired menu selection. The currently active menu line is highlighted in a contrasting color.

SEL (remote) or ENTER (remote or front panel) - Some menu selections cause another menu to be activated. Use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to move to the desired menu line. Pressing SEL or ENTER will activate the next menu.

NUMERIC KEYS (remote only) - From the remote control you may also go directly to a menu line by typing the corresponding line number. If there is another menu below that line it will be activated immediately (no ENTER required).

LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS (remote) or VOLUME KNOB (front panel) - Some menu selections allow you to change one of the receiver settings. Use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to move to the desired menu line. Pressing the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS will change the setting. There are no LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS on the front panel. While in the menu system, the VOLUME KNOB acts as the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS. This means that you will not be able to adjust the volume from the front panel while in the menu system. The remote control volume will work in most menus.

TEXT EDITING - some menu selections will require you to edit text. Use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to change the current (blinking) character. Use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS (or VOLUME KNOB) to move to another character position.

EXIT (remote only) - From the remote control you may instantly EXIT the menu system.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE - Remember that when you press a source button (DVD, CD, etc.) the remote now controls the selected device. To return control to your receiver, you must press B&K or AUDIO. ALWAYS check that your remote is set to B&K or (AUDIO) before attempting to control your receiver. B&K or (AUDIO) will be displayed in the remote’s LCD window.

Speakers

The speakers menu lets you tell your receiver how many speakers you have in your system, the relative size of the speakers, and their location in the room. This is the most important setup procedure you will perform. The receiver comes from the factory setup for 7 small speakers and a subwoofer. If this does not match 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 procedure, the center channel information will be lost. If you perform this setup correctly, the receiver will know that you have no center channel speaker and send this information to your front left and right speakers (along with the normal front left and right information) so no audio information is lost.

Speaker Size

Speaker size generally refers to the size of your speakers. Audio material, particularly Dolby Digital and DTS movies, often contain large amounts of bass. If this bass information is sent to small speakers that are incapable of reproducing so much bass, then the bass information 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 reproduce it correctly. Typically, all bookshelf or satellite 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 consult your speaker manufacturer or check with the dealer if they are unsure. If you have all small speakers we strongly recommend use of a subwoofer. If your front left and right speakers (or more) are large then you may not require a subwoofer, but you may still get better results using a subwoofer, especially with Dolby Digital and DTS movies. All THX certified speakers are small, regardless of their physical size, and should be used in audio systems along with a subwoofer.

Setup your subwoofer ‘SW’ - In the table above, you have the flexibility to choose how bass information is distributed to your speakers only if you have large speakers and a subwoofer as part of your home theater speaker system. For example, selecting the "Front Large” and "Subwoofer Yes THX" options, bass from the front left and front right channels will go ONLY to the front left and front right speakers. Bass going to the subwoofer will only come from the LFE channel and any channels with speakers that you have designated as "Small". This selection is preferred by THX. However, selecting the "Front Large” and “Subwoofer Ultra" options, you will send the bass from the front left and right channels to the front left, right AND subwoofer speakers simultaneously. To decide which setting is best for your room, once you have positioned all of your speakers, choose the option which gives you the most solid sounding bass.

* Note: when the subwoofer is set to None, bass is redirected to remaining large speakers. When no speakers are set to Large, and the subwoofer is set to None, bass information is lost.

Speaker Location

Ideally your speakers will be the same distance away from your listening area. However, physical limitations usually require placing the speaker in other than optimum locations. Your receiver contains a means to electronically move each speakers location. This allows for superior reproduction of the directional cues available during the playback of movie or music. Measure the distance in feet to your speakers and set each speaker location setting to this distance. Your receiver will electronically “move” each speaker to maintain correct time alignment with the listening position. You may also change the units to meters, if you prefer.

Speaker Levels

Speaker level calibration allows you to equalize the volume levels of each speaker to make up for differences in speaker characteristics and distances from the listener to the speakers. For best results it is important that you perform this calibration when you initially install your receiver, whenever you change speakers, and whenever you rearrange your listening area. The following adjustment must be done for proper room calibration to THX reference level. Sit or place the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter in your normal listening spot. Check that you are in SETUP SPEAKERS and that your remote is in B&K mode. Note that if you have turned a speaker OFF in the SPEAKER SIZE SETUP menu then you will not be able to select that speaker in the SETUP SPEAKER LEVELS menu. Set the SPL meter to use 75 dB SPL, C Weighting and SLOW response. Adjust each speakers level up or down to achieve the desired THX reference level of 75 dB SPL.

Note: if you must do this adjustment with out the aid of an SPL meter, you may do it by ear and adjust each speaker for equal volume. You may wish to go through the speakers several times to get a reasonable result.

Also note that the VOLUME on the remote will not function in this menu.

Crossovers + LFE

Usually these settings may be left set to the factory defaults. However, your receiver allows ‘fine tuning’ of the system parameters most useful in setting up a high end audio system.

Set the high and low pass filters’ crossover frequency - This sets the frequency at which bass tones are removed from the small main speakers and sent to the subwoofer. If you use very small main speakers you may wish to raise the crossover above 80 Hz. You may get better results with fairly large speakers by setting them to small and using a low crossover frequency so only the lowest tones are sent to the subwoofer. THX certified speakers are specifically designed for use with an 80 Hz crossover setting.

Set the high pass filters slope - A crossover doesn’t simply send all content above 81 Hz to the main speakers and all content below 79 Hz to the sub. Instead there is a gradual transition. The crossover point is the frequency at which the amount of information in the sub and main speaker is equal. The crossover slope determines how gradual or abrupt this transition occurs. More gradual slopes generally result in a smoother transition from main to sub. However, gradual transitions can cause distortion in small main speakers because too much bass is sent to them. Gradual transitions with higher crossover settings can also cause the perceived location of a sound to move from the correct main speaker to the sub’s location. THX speakers are specifically designed to use a 24 dB slope for the subwoofer and a 12 dB slope for the main speakers.

Set the peak limiter - The peak limiter is designed to limit the maximum level of bass information. When set to

0.0 dB (default) the limiter is disabled. If your system is being used with a subwoofer not incorporating it’s own limiter or have no subwoofer, then the peak limiter may need to be set to allow proper operation.

Warning - the peak limiter test tone may result in extremely high volume levels

Peak limiter level calibration allows you to set the maximum obtainable volume sent to the speakers reproducing bass information. For best results it is important that you perform this calibration when you initially install your receiver, or whenever you change speakers. You set this parameter by ear using the test tone supplied when entering the peak limiter. Sit in your normal listening spot. Check that you are in SETUP CROSSOVERS + LFE and that your remote is in B&K mode. Moving to Peak Limiter and pressing SEL or ENTER activates a noise test tone which will aid in adjusting the level to the point at which the bass speakers sound like they are having difficulty reproducing the test tone. Once this level is achieved, reduce the adjustment 1 dB and press the SEL button on the remote to save the peak limit setting. If the level is increased all the way to 0 dB with no perceived distortion, then just leave the setting at 0 dB. If the correct values is known, the peak limiter may be set without the use of the test tone.

Set your LFE (.1) channel level - Usually this will be set to 0.0 dB (default). However, if you have no subwoofer you may wish to reduce the low frequency effects (LFE) channel to lessen its contribution to the bass going to your remaining large speakers. Or, even with a subwoofer, you may just wish to reduce the overall LFE level, especially in an apartment situation. Note that this affects only the separate LFE (.1) channel available on Dolby Digital and DTS material it has no effect on the reproduction of normal bass from the front, center, or surround channels.

This adjustment is sometimes needed to correct ‘lack of low end’ problems created with the interaction between the subwoofer and other large speakers in a listening room. The correct subwoofer phase adjustment is the one which allows the loudest listening level.

Usually these settings may be left set to the factory defaults. However, theses settings allow you to correct or reduce the various tonal errors that occur during reproduction of audio in a home theater.

The room equalization menu allows for two types of adjustments.

1) A notch filter that allows you to ‘Notch’ or reduce the accentuated bass created in a room with multiple speakers (see Setting up the notch filter).

2) Variable bass and treble controls allow you to configure a default ‘Variable EQ’ setting that best suits your listening room needs.

Set your Zone 1 (A) monitor video operation - More than likely you have a composite or S-VIDEO monitor which will be used to view your selected source’s video. Your receiver has the capability to process BOTH composite video and S-VIDEO simultaneously. Your receiver DOES NOT convert between composite video and S-VIDEO.

In MANUAL mode your receiver will always send both composite video and S-VIDEO to your Zone 1 (A) monitor. When your receiver first detects video on a selected source it checks to see if it is composite or S-VIDEO or both. It then shows a message which displays the current status as to the incoming video ‘Composite’, ‘S-VIDEO’ or ‘Both Video’, to both video outputs. When no video is available on one of the video formats (composite or SVIDEO), it will send its internal background screen to the monitor and then prompt you if there is video available using the other video format.

In AUTO mode, your receiver will look for S-VIDEO on the selected source. If it finds S-VIDEO it will send it to your Zone 1 (A) monitor. Your receiver will also look for composite video on the selected source. If it finds composite video it will send it to your Zone 1 (A) monitor. If it finds no S-VIDEO on the selected source it will send no video. Similarly if it finds no composite video on the selected source it will send no video. This allows for the use of your Monitor’s auto video detection circuit (if available) to select the proper video format for your viewing.

Generating a name when saving a preset - When you save a preset, your system automatically generates a simple name for the preset, which you can then change before confirming the preset save. You may wish to defeat this automatic naming so that any custom names that you have entered will not get erased each time you save a minor change to a preset. Turning auto naming off means that the name that is already present in the preset will be re-used when you save a new preset to that location. If you turn off auto naming you must be very careful to always enter an appropriate name. Otherwise you can end up with a preset that is named DVD, but actually recalls the V1 input, or is named FM 96.9 but actually recalls AM 1520!

OPERATION

The following outlines the normal day-to-day operation of your processor from the supplied universal remote or directly from your processor’s front panel. The universal remote is also capable of controlling other equipment and storing sequences of commonly used commands. All operations described below refer to the B&K Components Ltd. AV 7.1 System Remote Controller. 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 removed from your receiver. This prevents turning 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. After turning on the main power you must wait a few seconds while your receiver restores its internal memory. 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.

Powering Up -- Please Wait

PLEASE WAIT

From Remote From Front Panel Action

can’t turn off main power from remote POWER ON/OFF main power on/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 control operation and fast start 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 is a ‘power toggle’ and will put your receiver in and out of sleep. OFF will always put the receiver into sleep. B&K or AUDIO will always wake up your receiver and set the remote to control the receiver

AUDIO MODES

Your receiver is designed to work with 4 audio listening modes. Under normal operation you may simply select Mono, Stereo, Surround or DVD Audio via the remote control. In addition, you may choose an audio listening mode immediately followed by a speaker selection. The table below shows how your receiver will route audio with the various audio modes and speaker selection combinations. This table assumes seven full range speakers plus a subwoofer. If your speaker configuration is different from this make sure you have performed the set up procedures described previously (see SETUP SPEAKER SIZE). When the setup is correctly performed your receiver will route audio to fewer/smaller speakers with the needed corrections to volume and “down mixing” applied automatically.

Audio Mode description

MONO

Sums the incoming audio information to a single channel and routes it to the desired speaker. Useful during FM tuner operation having weak RF signal strengths. It may also be useful when you have a large group where it is difficult to put everyone near the optimum listening position.

STEREO

Sums the incoming audio information into Left, Right, and Mono channels and routes them to the desired speaker selection. Useful for purist (STEREO 2) listening and expanding the stereo effect to additional speakers.

SURROUND

Provides Dolby Pro Logic processing for 2 channel analog or digital audio for the desired number of speakers. Fully decodes Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 bitstreams and routes to the desired speakers. SURROUND 6 adds matrix processing of surround and back channels for Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 bitstreams.

DVD Audio

Use this audio mode with the analog outputs of a DVD Audio player or any other 5.1 audio source device (see Set DVD audio input under SETUP INPUTS). Like all other modes you may choose to rout your DVD audio source to 1 - 7 speakers and even add matrix surround/back processing (DVDA 6). Note that DVD Audio mode can only be chosen for the input designated as the DVD Audio input in the setup menu. While no DVD Audio input is assigned (factory default) the DVD Audio mode is inactive.

Special Considerations

After selecting an audio mode, you may enter 0 - 9 to select the desired number of speakers that will be used to reproduce the processed audio. Three of these selections (0, 8, 9) require extra consideration to fully understand their capability as they do not relate specifically to the number of speakers in your system.

Speaker selection 0 ‘HEADPHONE’ - use when the receiver is to be used with Headphones and it is desired to turn off the systems power amplifiers. While in ‘HEADPHONE’, the equalizer feature of your unit remains operational (see EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’). Selecting an audio mode for use with speaker selection 0 ‘HEADPHONE’ effects all inputs simultaneously. This feature allows the ‘Headphone’ selection to stay in effect until the unit is put to SLEEP, or you select an audio mode for use with other than 0 speakers. Note ‘HEADPHONE’ is not allowed for use in Favorite Mode setup. Also, Control Out 1 may be turned off (factory default) depending on how your receiver has been set up (see ADVANCED FEATURES), allowing you to turn off any external amplifiers 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. If you are using external amplifiers or powered speakers with no CONTROL OUT capability then full range audio (including LFE for Dolby Digital and DTS) will 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 speakers.

switching to selecting ‘HEADPHONE’ operation. Otherwise you may damage your

13259 0303

Speaker selection 8 ‘DIRECT’ - allows selection of the ‘analog’ signals connected to the currently selected input sources L & R RCA audio inputs overriding the use of optical or coax S/PDIF. No processing is applied to the audio signals other than level control. Use ‘DIRECT’ when NO audio processing is desired, This may be desirable if you use an outboard digtal-to-analog converter or Super Audio CD player. Note, while in ‘DIRECT’, the equalizer feature of your unit is not available and disabled (see EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’).

Speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’ - Normally, your tape outputs contain the analog L/R inputs from the selected source. If you wish to make a recording from the digital inputs, select mode 9 (LtRt - Left total, Right total)). Selecting an audio mode for use with speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’ effects all inputs simultaneously. This feature allows ‘LtRt’ to stay in effect until the unit is put to SLEEP, or you select an audio mode for use with other than 9 speakers. Speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’, is not allowed for use in Favorite Mode setup. Your receiver will convert the digital signal to a Dolby Surround compatible 2 channel signal for recording. Upon playback you will get matrix surround encoded sound, even if the original signal was Dolby Digital or DTS. Note that the LtRt signal also appears at your front left and right speakers and is full range. If you use small front speakers it is recommended that you turn down the volume before engaging LtRt mode. Note, while in ‘LtRt’, the equalizer feature of your unit is not available and disabled (see EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’).

Why do I need all these audio modes and speaker selections?

Many people will be happy leaving their receiver in the SURROUND audio mode all the time. Your receiver will automatically switch back and forth between Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS. Stereo material will be played back with Pro Logic decoding. Pro Logic’s extraction of mono information to the center channel works just as well on stereo (non-Pro Logic encoded) material and may provide improved imaging, especially when sitting away from the “sweet spot” in the center of your speakers. Only Dolby Surround encoded 2-channel material has true surround speaker information. However, Pro Logic’s surround speaker processing may provide a pleasing ambiance effect on many stereo (non-Pro Logic) soundtracks.

EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’

Selecting an EQ function via the remote control - allows you to override how the audio is currently being

processed. This is where you may set the Dynamic Range to either Normal (default) or Limited for late night listening while using Dolby Digital bit streams.

Settings made here are intended for occasional adjustments for a particular source material. They affect all inputs but are temporary. After turning the system off and on, the original parameters from the SETUP menus are restored. If there are temporary settings you use often, you may wish to store them in a preset for instant recall See PRESETS.

You may select EQ, Off ‘EQ 0”, Variable ‘EQ 1’, Loudness ‘EQ 2’ or Theater ‘EQ 3’.

The table below shows the various audio modes and how the the EQ feature may be used. Under normal usage a user would select one of these EQs to either correct or enhance their processed audio.

Note, while in ‘DIRECT’ or ‘LtRt’ (speaker selections 8 & 9) the equalizer feature of your unit is not available and disabled (see EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’).

EQ Name EQ # Mono Stereo Surround DVD Audio

Off 0 bypassed bypassed bypassed bypassed Variable 1 Bass and Treble Bass and Treble Bass and Treble bypassed Loudness 2 fixed response fixed response fixed response bypassed Theater 3 fixed response fixed response fixed response bypassed

Select off ‘EQ 0’ - disables the use of any preset equalization curves or bass and treble settings. Note the notch filter settings made under Setup Room Equalization are still in effect.

13259 0303

Select variable ‘EQ 1’ - to allow separate bass and treble settings for use with all input sources.

Many systems allow only adjustment of bass and treble levels at fixed frequency points. Your receiver allows you to adjust level and frequency so you may fine tune your tone controls to proved either very subtle effects at just the right frequency extremes, or for more a pronounced effect at higher bass and lower treble frequencies.

A default setting for bass and treble may be set under Setup Room Equalization.

Selecting variable ‘EQ 1’ allows you to use the options shown below in VARIABLE EQUALIZATION, and temporarily override the default settings made to bass and treble in setup room equalization (See Room Equalization under Setup Speakers).

Adjust LFE Level if you have no subwoofer and you wish to reduce the low frequency effects (LFE) channel to lessen its contribution to the bass going to your remaining large speakers. Or, even with a subwoofer, you may just wish to reduce the overall LFE level, especially in an apartment situation. Note that this affects only the separate LFE (.1) channel available on Dolby Digital and DTS material it has no effect on the reproduction of normal bass from the front, center, or surround channels.

Select DTS LFE MODE Music if your DTS material is mixed for a reduced LFE setting and you wish to have a more natural sound. Note that this affects only the separate LFE (.1) channel available on DTS material and has no effect on the reproduction of normal bass from the front, center, or surround channels.

Select Dynamic Range Limited for late night listening while using Dolby Digital bit streams and a reduced dynamic range is desired. When the dynamic range is set to limited, compression is used to raise the average loudness of the dialog, and the program peaks will be restricted much in the style of conventional television audio.

Select loudness ‘EQ 2’ - sets the equalizer to use preset filter curves designed for use when using low listening levels. The human ear’s frequency response varies with volume level. At high levels it has relatively flat response, while at low levels its sensitivity to high and low frequencies is reduced. The loudness equalizer is designed to cancel the ear’s frequency response anomalies to provide consistent tone at all volume levels. Note that you will hear little difference using the loudness control at high volumes as it has its greatest effect at lower volume levels.

Select theater EQ ‘EQ 3’ - sets the equalizer for use with a preset filter curve best suited for small home theaters. Many soundtracks are mixed for a large movie theater with very absorptive surfaces and speakers firing through projection screens. If the soundtrack has not been adjusted for home use, it may sound overly bright or harsh. Theater EQ allows you to apply preset high frequency compensation specifically set for use with this type of material.

ZONE ‘Z’

Using the Z (zone) function via the remote control - Your receiver comes equipped with a fully independent 2-

channel analog pre-amp for use with a second audio zone. The easiest way to control the second Zone is with a dedicated Z2 remote available from B&K and other universal remote suppliers. You can also control the second zone from your zone 1 remote via the “Z” button.

GETTING RECEIVER STATUS

When you are not in a menu, pressing ENTER will bring up a two or three line status message on Zone 1 (A) video outputs. A single line status message is also available on the receiver’s front panel display. This display will also pop up automatically whenever you change sources or whenever the selected source information changes. The 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 best picture. The bitstream and channel information 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 this status display before calling.

ADVANCED FEATURES

WARNING - The following describes the advanced features of the receiver. Since changing some of

these functions may cause severe effects such as no sound or no remote control operation, we suggest you leave this menu disabled (hidden) for normal operation. If you are unsure of what you are changing DO NOT perform any advanced operations. These features may be activated by simultaneously pressing the SLEEP, DOWN, and UP buttons on the front panel of the receiver.

Advanced

Usually these settings may be left set to the factory defaults. However, these settings allow additional modifications to the operation of your receiver. Make sure you are in the SETUP SYSTEM MENUS and your remote is in B&K mode.

Set Zone 1 (A) product ID - Each message transmitted from your remote includes a Product Code, identifying the manufacturer, and Zone product ID code from 1 to 16. The product ID code allows multiple B&K products to be controlled from the same remote. Your receiver actually uses two product ID codes - one for Zone 1 (A) (normally set to ID code 1) and the other for Zone 2 (B) (normally set to ID code 2). If you have a system with multiple B&K products then you may wish to set the Zone product ID codes to other values. Note that you cannot set the Zone 1 (A) product ID to the same setting as Zone 2 (B) or vice versa. If you need to set Zone 1 (A) to the current Zone 2 (B) setting then set Zone 2 (B) to some other value first.

WARNING - if you change the Zone 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”).

Set V1 line output usage - V1 output is normally set up as a tape loop. The V1 and Zone 1 (A) output are the current source (V2, TV, CD, DVD, etc.) except when the current selection is V1. When V1 is selected as the source, the Zone 1 (A) output is V1 and the V1 output is off. This prevents feedback 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 (A).

Set surround mode operation - Most users will prefer the factory setting - AUTO. In this mode the receiver automatically sets the surround mode to full 7.1 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 select audio mode SURROUND 3 (see AUDIO MODES above). 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 all front, center, and surround speakers. When the third (PCM) CD starts the receiver returns to SURROUND 3. Note that if a Dolby Digital or DTS source is currently playing and you change the audio mode the receiver will stay in the selected audio mode until you select another input or turn the receiver off and on. In MANUAL mode the chosen audio mode remains set regardless of the bitstream detected

. In the above example only the front and center speakers would be used on all three CDs even though the DTS CD was capable of providing full 5 channel sound to 7.1 speakers. Note that the surround channel information is not lost. It is simply mixed into the front speakers.

In REMOTE mode your receiver acts like a remote repeater - IR remote signals detected by your receiver are repeated on the control out. Select the RS-232 option when a Control out is to be set using BKC-DIP.
