To get better picture quality

RX-6030VBK and RX-6032VSL have the following
video terminals and you can use any of them to
connect a video component:

• VIDEO (composite video) terminals

• S-VIDEO terminals

• COMPONENT VIDEO terminals

If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals,
connect them using an S-video cable (not supplied).

If your video components have component video (Y, PB, PR)
terminals, connect them using a component video cable (not

supplied).

RX-6032V

ONLY

By using these terminals, you can get better picture quality in the

order of-- Composite video < S-video < Component video.

However, remember that the video signals from one type of
input terminals are sent only through the video output

terminals of the same type.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video
component are connected to the receiver through different types of

video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing
component onto the recording component. In addition, if the TV and

a playing video component are connected to the receiver through
different types of video terminals, you cannot view the playback

picture from the playing component on the TV.

Dolby Pro Logic II_

Dolby Pro Logic II has a multi-channel playback format to

decode all 2 channel sources--stereo source and Doiby
Surround encoded source--into 5.1 channels.

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.
Do]by Pro Logic IIenables reproduction of spacious sound

from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal
colorations.

Doiby Pro Logic II has two modes--Movie mode and Music

mode:

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE) suitable for the

reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the
mark nr_[DoL._s...o_._3.You can enjoy a sound field very close to
the one created with discrete 5.1 channel sounds.

Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC) suitable for the
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 Doiby Pro Logic II is activated, the D['I PRO LOGIC II

indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method (so-called
discrete multi-channel digital audio format) records and
digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel,
center channel, left surround channel, right surround 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 many stereo and surround effects.

• When Dolby Digital signal comes in, the DEI DIGITAL

indicator lights up on the display.

Note:

Dolby Digital software can roughly be grouped into two categories

--multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy

surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you

can use Delby Pro Logic I1.

• DTS Digital Surround _

Used to reproduce multi-channel sound tracks of software
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (_).

• To use software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect

the source component to the digital terminal on the rear of
this receiver. (See page 10.)

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multi-channel
digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the 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.

• When DTS signal comes in, the _ indicator lights up on

the display.

DSP•odes

• 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 on the right).
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 surround
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.

Early

Reflectionsfrom behind _ - J f

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
surround speakers are connected to this receiver without

respect to the center speaker connection.

Ifthe center speaker is connected and activated, the same

phase of the front left and right signals is emitted 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.

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

To get better picture quality

RX-6030VBK and RX-6032VSL have the following
video terminals and you can use any of them to

connect a video component:

• VIDEO (composite video) terminals

• S-VIDEO terminals

• COMPONENT VIDEO terminals

If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals,
connect them using an S-video cable (not supplied).
If your video components have component video (Y, PB, PR)

terminals, connect them using a component video cable (not
supplied).

RX-6032V

ONLY

By using these terminals, you can get better picture quality in the

order of-- Composite video < S-video < Component video.

However, remember that the video signals from one type of
input terminals are sent only through the video output

terminals of the same type.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video

component are connected to the receiver through different types of
video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing

component onto the recording component. In addition, if the TV and
a playing video component are connected to the receiver through

different types of video terminals, you cannot view the playback
picture from the playing component on the TV.

Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSlC)_suitable for the
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"

Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method (so-called
discrete multi-channel digital audio format) records and
digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel,
center channel, left surround channel, right surround 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 many stereo and surround effects.

• When Dolby Digital signal comes in, the QD DIGITAL
indicator lights up on the display.

Note:

Delby Digital software can roughly be grouped into two categories

--multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy

surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you
can use Delby Pro Logic I1.

• DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multi-channel sound tracks of software
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (_).

• To use software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect

the source component to the digital terminal on the rear of
this receiver. (See page 10.)

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multi-channel
digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the 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 on the right).
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 surround
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.

Early

• 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
surround speakers are connected to this receiver without

respect to the center speaker connection.

Ifthe center speaker is connected and activated, the same

phase of the front left and right signals is emitted 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.

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