• 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 fiom the connecting cords and the
anlenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for anlenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset sellings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound
ac[justments may be erased in a few days.
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
• When using the remole control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.

• 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.

You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic
sound field:
• Dolby Surround
• Dolby Pro Logic 11
• Dolby Digital
• DTS Digital Surround
• DAP modes
• All Channel Stereo
• Dolby Surround
Dolby Pro Loqic II*
Dolby Pro Logic 1I has a newly developed multichannel playback
format to decode all 2 channel som-ces regular stereo source and
Dolby Surround encoded source into 5.1 channel.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic lI
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 lI 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 lI Movie (PL II MOVIE) suitable for reproduction of
Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark r'Itq[_LaVS,_OUND].
YOUcan enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete
5.1 channel sounds.
Pro Logic 1I Music (PL 1I 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 11 is activated, Fig PRO LOGIC 11
indicator lights up on the display.
Dolby Diqital*
Used to reproduce nmltichannel sound tracks of the software
encoded with Dolby Digital ( _,_._ ).
• 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 muhichanneI 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_arly reflections and reflections
from behind. Direct sounds reach the lis/ener direcdy 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 eft_cts
while reproducing 2 channel slereo soflware_ither analog or
digital except Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surmund_nd can
give you a real "being there" feeling.
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights
up on the display.
Reflections from behind
Early reflections
• All Channel Stereo
'Ibis mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the

connecled (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 connecled and activaled, the same phase of
the front left and right signals are output through the cemer speaker.
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel s/ereo
software, either analog or digital except Dolby Digital and DTS
Digital Surround.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up
