Getting Started

Before Installation

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

General Precautions

DO NOT insert any metal object to the unit.

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

DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Locations

Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from moisture.

The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F).

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

Handling the unit

DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.

DO NOT pull 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/AM channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.

Checking the Supplied Accessories

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

Remote Control (1)

Batteries (2)

AM Loop Antenna (1)

FM Antenna (1)

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

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

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

1On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover.

2Insert batteries.

• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3 Replace the cover.

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

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.

FM antenna connection

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.

Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.

If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). Before attaching a 75 coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Notes:

If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown to the right.

Make sure antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and the power cord. This could cause poor reception.

Basic Settings

Crossover frequency

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 from small speakers to 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 “LARGE” for all speakers, this function will not take effect.

Crossover frequency is not valid for DVD MULTI playback mode and HEADPHONE mode.

1Press SETTING repeatedly until “CROSS SETTING (Crossover)” (with the current setting)* appears on the display.

*“100HZ” is the initial setting. If you have already changed the setting, another frequency will be shown.

2Press CONTROL UP 5/DOWN to select the crossover frequency level you like to use.

Each time you press the button, the crossover frequency level changes as follows:

80HZ 100HZ 120HZ

DOLBY SURROUND

English

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field:

Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Digital

DTS Digital Surround

DAP modes

All Channel Stereo

Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multichannel playback format to decode all 2 channel sources—regular stereo source and Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel.

Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic.

Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark . You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete 5.1 channel sounds.

Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be selected, which gives “wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image.

When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, PRO LOGIC II indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital ( D I G I T A L ).

To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

Dolby Digital 5.1 ch encoding method (so-called discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals.

Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.

Note:

Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories

—multichannel (up to “5.1” ch) and 2 channel software. To enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ).

To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multichannel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram below).

These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds.

DAP modes can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it is connected).

The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:

LIVE CLUB : Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat.

HALL

: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert

 

hall.

 

 

PAVILION

: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a

 

high ceiling.

 

 

These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects while reproducing 2 channel stereo software—either analog or digital except Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround—and can give you a real “being there” feeling.

When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

Creating sound field

Reflections from behind

Early reflections

Direct sounds

All Channel Stereo

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the center speaker connection.

If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of the front left and right signals are output through the center speaker.

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or digital except Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround.

When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

DVD MULTI Playback Mode

This receiver provides the DVD MULTI Playback Mode for reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the DVD player or other equipment.

You can adjust speaker output levels while playing back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode.

For connecting analog discrete output jacks, see page 7.

For details on the DVD MULTI Playback Mode, see page 24.

Note:

When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, Surround mode is canceled, and the SURROUND ON/OFF and SURROUND MODE buttons do not work.
