Getting started

Precautions

General precautions

•DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

•DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.

•DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.

Locations

•Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust.

If water gets inside the unit, turn off the power and remove the plug from the outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the unit in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

•Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold between 5˚C and 35˚C

•Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.

•Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

•Do not install the unit in a place subject to vibrations.

Handling the receiver

•DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.

•DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection, since it is well-shielded against interference.

•When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord, the preset settings such as preset FM or AM (MW) channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.

•When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

To prevent the malfunction

•There are no user-servicable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

•Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins, etc, into the unit.

•Do not block the vents. Blocking the vents may damage the unit.

To clean the cabinet

•Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths.

•Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.

Checking the supplied accessories

Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories. The number in parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece supplied.

•Remote control (1)

•Batteries (2)

•AM (MW) loop antenna (1)

•FM antenna (1)

•SCART cable (1)

•Digital coaxial cord (1)

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Putting batteries in the remote control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.

1 Press and slide the buttery cover on the bac k of the remote control.

2 Insert batteries.

Make sure to match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3 Replace the co ver.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.

• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued use.

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.

•Always replace both batteries at the same time.

•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front panel.

Speaker settings

To obtain the best possible surround effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 28 to 33), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. You can set the speaker information using one of the following three methods.

Smart Surround Setup: Set the speakers information automatically by one simple action—clapping hands. The delay time and output level for the center and surround speakers are set automatically.

Quick Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information quickly by entering the use of the subwoofer, the number of the speakers, and your room size.

Manual Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information manually.

• Before starting the speaker setting, connect and position the speakers and subwoofer (see page 7) and turn on the receiver.

Setting the speakers information automatically—Smart Surround Setup

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important element to obtain the best possible sound effect for the Surround/DSP modes.

You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time (see also page 18).

By using Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output level are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping hands.

•To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center and surround speakers.

•You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page 18).

•When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.

3Confirm “SETTING UP” stops flashing and clap your hands over your head once while “SETTING UP” appears on the display.

The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming through all speakers (except the subwoofer).

After detecting the sound, one of the following indications appears on the display.

SUCCESSFUL: Sound of your clapping is successfully detected. The receiver sets the delay time and the output level of the center and surround speakers automatically.

SILENT: The receiver cannot detect sound from some speakers.

SILENT-ALL: The receiver cannot detect any sound from all speakers.

FAILED: The receiver cannot detect both right and left channels for the front and/or surround speakers correctly.

•When the receiver cannot detect the sound correctly (“SILENT,”

“SILENT-ALL” or “FAILED” appears on the display), “SETTING

UP” appears on the display again then repeat step 3.

•The speaker delay time and output levels are set automatically when:

—the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” twice in succession.

—the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” at the third time after detecting “SILENT”, “SILENT-ALL” and/or “FAILED” twice.

•When the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT-ALL” or “FAILED” three times, “MANUAL” appears on the display. Set the speaker and subwoofer information using Quick Setup (see page 16) or Manual Setup (see page 17), and the speakers' output levels for the center and surround speakers (see pages

Setting the speaker delay time

—CNTR DL (center speaker delay), SURR DL (surround speakers delay)

You can set the speaker delay time easily by using Smart Surround Setup (see page 15) or Quick Setup (see page 16).

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important element to obtain the best possible surround sound for the

Surround modes.

You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.

•1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to (30 cm) increase (or decrease) in distance.

CNTR DL*: Set the delay time for the center speaker within a range of 0 msec to 5 msec (in 1 msec intervals).

SURR DL*: Set the delay time for the surround speakers within a range of 0 msec to 15 msec (in 1 msec intervals).

* “0ms” is the initial setting.

Setting the crossover frequency—CROSS

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers.

To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.

•If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 17), this function will not take effect.

80HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 12 cm.

100HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 10 cm.

120HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 8 cm.

150HZ*: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 6 cm.

200HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is less than 5 cm.

* Initial setting

NOTE

Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE mode.

Setting the low frequency effect attenuator —LFE

If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion.

• This function takes effect only when the LFE signals come in.

0dB*: Normally select this.

–10dB: Select when the bass sound is distorted.

* Initial setting

Setting the dynamic range compression —D.COMP

You can compress the dynamic range (difference between maximum sound and minimum sound) of the reproduced sound. This is useful when listening to surround sound at night.

•This function takes effect only when playing back a source encoded with Dolby Digital.

NOTE

If you have selected “NO” for the center and surround speakers setting (see page 17), you cannot set the speaker delay time for the center and surround speakers.

OFF: Select when you want to enjoy surround with its full dynamic range. (No effect applied.)

MID*: Select when you want to reduce the dynamic range a little.

MAX: Select when you want to apply the compression effect fully. (Useful at night.)

* Initial setting
