AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE UPGRADE OPERATING INSTRUCTION

Thank you for using the AVR5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade Service.

When using the amplifier after upgrading it, please refer to these instructions as well as the operating instructions included with the AVR5800/AVC-A1SE.

4 FEATURES

This upgrade adds the following functions and specifications:

1.Lucasfilm THX Ultra2 Certified

Home THX is the unique collaboration between Lucasfilm Ltd. and audio equipment manufacturers. THX Ultra2 certification is the highest performance level, and provides a rigorous set of performance standards, along with proprietary surround sound post-processing technologies, designed to enhance the surround soundtrack playback experience in the home theater.

In addition to improvements to the power amplifier with respect to previous THX Ultra standards, two surround modes have been added: the THX Ultra2 Cinema mode and the THX Music mode.

2.DTS 96/24 compatibility

The AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade is compatible with sources recorded in DTS 96/24, a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.

DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel mode on the AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade with high sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.

3.Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio signals that offers improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition, various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so you can adjust the sound field with greater precision.

4.Dolby Headphone Compatibility

sound using regular headphones.

5.DENON Link

This terminal can be used to connect a Denon DVD player for high quality digital multichannel playback.

6.Digital Ext. In

This is a function for future system expansion when using digital multichannel connections.

7.Auto Surround Mode

This function stores the surround mode last used for an input signal in the memory and automatically sets that surround mode the next time that signal is input.

8.Audio Delay

This is a function for delaying the audio signal with respect to the video signal. (0 to 200 msec)

9.Setup Lock

This is a function that locks the system setup and surround parameter settings, etc., so that they cannot be changed.

10.Delay Time

The maximum settable value has been changed from 15 feet to 20 feet, the setting steps from 1 foot to 0.1 feet.

This is a three-dimensional sound technology developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technoligy Ltd. of Australia for achieving surround

ENGLISH

Setting the Crossover Frequency

•Set the crossover frequency according to the speaker system being used.

•Select “Speaker Configuration” on the System Setup Menu screen, then press jog stick “ENTER” twice or three times.

1	Select the “Crossover Frequency” mode.
	Select the Frequency.

2	Enter the setting.
	The System Setup Menu reappears.

Crossover frequency

•Set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of each main speakers is to output from the subwoofer or from speakers which are set to “Large” (when not using a subwoofer) (crossover frequency).

•For speakers set to “Small”, sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and instead the cut bass sound is output from the subwoofer or speakers which are set to “Large”.

•This crossover frequency mode is valid when “Subwoofer” is set to “Yes” at “Speaker Configuration Setting” or when speakers are set to “Small”.

FIXED –THX–:

Set to the THX rated 80 Hz crossover frequency.

VARIABLE 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 Hz:

Set as desired according to your speakers’ bass playback ability.

NOTES:

•The crossover frequency is set to 80 Hz in the HOME THX CINEMA mode.

•We recommend using with the crossover frequency set to “FIXED –THX–”, but depending on the speaker, setting it to a different frequency may improve frequency response near the crossover frequency.

Settings for using a THX Ultra2 compatible subwoofer

Make these settings when “Yes” is selected for the subwoofer in the Speaker Configuration settings. There is not displayed when “No” selected.

1	Select “THX Audio Setup” on the System
	Setup Menu screen, then press jog stick
	“ENTER” to switch to the THX Audio Setup
	screen.
2	Select “Boundary Gain Compensation”, then
	press jog stick “ENTER”.

3	When using a THX Ultra2 compatible subwoofer or
	subwoofer that frequency response extends to 20 Hz, select

“Yes”. Otherwise select “No”.

•When “Yes” is selected

“Boundary Gain Compensation” can be selected and the compensation set to “OFF”.

• If the bass sound seems too strong

Set “Boundary Gain Compensation” to “ON”. This activates a circuit that cuts the low frequencies of 55 Hz and under. Select “ON” or “OFF” according to how strong you like the bass sound to be.

4	Press jog stick “ENTER” to return to the THX Audio Setup
	screen.

Surround Back Speaker Position settings

•When two surround back speakers have been set in the Speaker Configuration settings, set the distance of the speakers. There is not displayed when “1spkr” selected.

•This setting is necessary to achieve the optimum effect in the THX Surround EX, THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes. It is recommended that SBL/SBR speakers are placed together as close as possible.

1	Select “Surround Back Speaker Position” on
	the THX Audio Setup screen, then press jog

stick “ENTER”.

2	Select the settings according to the distances of the two
	surround back speakers.

3	Press jog stick “ENTER” to return to the THX Audio Setup
	screen.
4	Select “Exit” then press jog stick “ENTER” to
	return to the System Setup Menu screen.

Pro Logic II Mode:

The Cinema mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded Dolby Surround. The Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for autosound music systems (no video), and is optional for A/V systems.

The Pro Logic Emulation mode offers the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic in case the source contents is not of optimum quality. Select one of the modes (“Cinema”, “Music” or “EML”).

Panorama Control:

This mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

Select “OFF” or “ON”.

Dimension Control:

This control gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear.

The control can be set in 7 steps from 0 to 6.

Center Width Control:

This control adjust the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.

The control can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7.

2Playback using the DENON Link connector

Digital transfer and multi-channel playback of DVD audio discs and other multi-channel sources is possible by connecting the AVR5800/AVC-A1SE to a Denon DVD player equipped with a DENON Link connector using the connection cable included with the DVD player.

With discs on which special copyright protection measures have been taken, however, the digital signals may not be output from the DVD player. In this case, connect the DVD player’s analog multi-channel output to the AVR5800/AVC-A1SE’s EXT.IN-1 or EXT.IN-2 terminals for playback.

Also refer to your DVD player’s operating instructions.
