set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.

Protection Circuit
If the core wires touch the rear panel and the
screws etc., or the ± sides touch each other, the
protection circuit will be activated and the power
indicator will flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.
If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker
output is isolated, and the power supply goes to
the standby state. If the power supply is turned off,
after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please
confirm that speaker cable and input cable are
connected.
Also, if replaying large sound levels by using
a speaker having an impedance less than that
specified (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature will rise,
and the protection circuit might be activated. The
power supply will go into the standby state, and the
power indicator will flash red at 2 second intervals.

Connecting the Speaker
Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels
and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers
being connected to the AVR-990, and be sure to
interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
Peel off about 0.03 ft/10
1
mm of sheathing from
the tip of the speaker
cable, then either twist
the core wire tightly or
terminate it.
Turn the speaker terminal
2
counterclockwise to
loosen it.
Insert the speaker cable’s
3
core wire to the hilt into
the speaker terminal.
Turn the speaker terminal
4
clockwise to tighten it.
When using a banana plug
n
Tighten the speaker
terminal firmly before
inserting the banana plug.
Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms.
When using front A and B speakers simultaneously,
use speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 Ω/
ohms.
NOTE
Connect so that the speaker cable core wires
•
do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The
protection circuit may be activated if the core
wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides
touch each other (v“Protection Circuit”).
Never touch the speaker terminals while the
•
power supply is connected. Doing so could result
in electric shock.

Important Information
Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical problems
in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for
your home theater.
• When Audyssey™ Auto Setup procedure is performed, the MultEQ®,
Dynamic EQ™ and Dynamic Volume™ functions (vpage 71, 72)
are enabled.
• Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform Audyssey
Auto Setup procedure.
• Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as
shown in GExample qH. For best results, it is strongly recommended
to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper
spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.

Make the Optimal Speaker Settings, and Correct the Room Acoustics (Audyssey™ Auto Setup)
Getting Started Connections Playback Remote ControlZONE2 Information Troubleshooting Specifications
NOTE
• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic
speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background
noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may
be affected by these sounds.
Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in
use).

quality of the programs they broadcast as well as the bit rate of the
tracks varies widely.
Generally, the higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but
depending on the communication lines and server traffic, the music
or audio signals being streamed may be interrupted. Inversely, lower
bit rates mean a lower sound quality but less tendency for the sound
to be interrupted.

About Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality
as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and
room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey
MultEQ® to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume
level.
Reference Level Offset : Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the
standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference
response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down
from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or
other non-film content. The Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides
three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can
be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.
0dB (Film Ref) : This is the default setting and should be used when
•
listening to movies.
5dB : Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range,
•
such as classical music.
10dB : Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic
•
range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is
usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference.
15dB : Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material
•
that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic
range.
Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “ON” (vpage 71).

About Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ solves the problem of large variations in
volume level between television programs, commercials, and between
the soft and loud passages of movies.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that
as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass
response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain
the same.
Setting : Set “Dynamic Volume” equalizer effect.
Midnight : High setting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to
•
be of equal loudness.
Evening : Middle setting prevents loud and soft sounds from being
•
much louder and softer respectively than average sounds.
Day : Low setting provides the least adjustments to the loudest and
•
softest of sounds.
Can be set when “Dynamic Volume” is set to “ON”.

About the RESTORER function
• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio)
and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal
components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The RESTORER
function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring
the sound to conditions near those of the original sound before
compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the bass to obtain
richer sound with compressed audio signals.
• This is displayed on the GUI menu and can be set when the input source
is set to “HD Radio” or “NET/USB”, or when analog signals (including
FM/AM signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.

Other Information
Explanation of Terms
The AVR-990 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that
lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the
same sense of presence as in a movie theater.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by
Dolby Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and
“C”), 2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for
low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic
sound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved.
A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing
movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Dolby Digital Plus
Information
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is
compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also
improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It
is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers
greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions
of the playback equipment.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce
the sound of the studio master.
This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96
kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly
prioritizing sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to
achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to
create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of
presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro
Logic g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural
sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema”
suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing
games.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format proposed by Dolby
Laboratories that allows users to enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY
DIGITAL SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed by Dolby
Laboratories and Lucas Films.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back channels, provide
improved sound positioning and expression of space.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment
through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with
stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides enhanced
spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and
video game playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source
mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur
naturally in all content, directing this information to the front height
channels, complementing the performance of left and right surround
sound speakers. Content that is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic
gz height channel information can be even more revealing, with
perceptually discrete height channel information bringing an exciting
new dimension to home entertainment.
Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is also an ideal alternative
for households that cannot support the placement of back surround
speakers of a typical 7.1 channel system but may have bookshelf
space available to support the addition of height speakers.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”,
“Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
DTS Surround
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is the standard digital surround format of DTS,
Inc., compatible with a sampling frequency of 44.1 or 48 kHz and up
to 5.1-channels of digital discrete surround sound.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an improved version of the
conventional DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 signals formats, compatible
with sampling frequencies of 96 or 48 kHz and up to 7.1-channels
of discrete digital sound. High data bit rate performance provides
high quality sound. This format is fully compatible with conventional
products, including conventional DTS digital surround 5.1-channel
data.
DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio is DTS, Inc’s lossless audio format compatible
with up to 96 kHz/7.1-channels. The lossless audio coding technology
faithfully reproduces the sound of the studio master. It is fully
compatible with conventional products, including conventional DTS
digital surround 5.1-channel data.
DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1
DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format
adding a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround
sound.
Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel audio signals is also possible
according to the decoder.
DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1
DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format
inserting a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround
sound through matrix encoding. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel
audio signals is also possible according to the decoder.
DTS NEO:6™ Surround
DTS NEO:6™ is a matrix decoding technology for achieving 6.1channel surround playback with 2-channel sources. It includes “DTS
NEO:6 Cinema” suited for playing movies and “DTS NEO:6 Music”
suited for playing music.
Page 93
DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 is a digital audio format enabling high sound quality
playback in 5.1-channels with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz and 24
bit quantization on DVD-Video.

Audyssey
Audyssey MultEQ
Audyssey MultEQ is a room equalization solution that calibrates any
audio system so that it can achieve optimum performance for every
listener in a large listening area. Based on several room measurements,
MultEQ calculates an equalization solution that corrects for both
time and frequency response problems in the listening area and also
performs a fully automated surround system setup.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound
quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception
and room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with
Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener
at any volume level.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in
volume level between television programs, commercials, and between
the soft and loud passages of movies.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as
the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass
response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity
remain the same.
