Getting Started

Before Installation

General Precautions

• DO NOT insert any metal object into 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 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/AM channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

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.

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

Insert batteries.

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

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—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, the PRO LOGIC II indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multichannel 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 9.)

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 effect.

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 9.)

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.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

English

■ 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.

■ 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.

All Channel Stereo reproduction

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.

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 8.

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

Put a tape in the cassette deck and a disc in the CD player.

Press the record (¶) button and the pause (8) button on the cassette deck at the same time.

This puts the cassette deck into recording pause. If you do not press the record (¶) button and pause (8) button at the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not operate.

Press the play (3) button on the CD player.

The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.

Notes:

• During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be changed.

• If the power of any component is shut off during synchronized recording, the COMPU LINK remote control system may not operate properly. In this case, you must start again from the beginning.

Note:

If you connect the DVD player and the VCR to this receiver using the composite video terminals, change the video input terminal setting to “S/C” (see page 16).

CASE 3

When connecting the source equipment to the receiver using the component video terminals, connect also this receiver to the TV’s Video Input 2 terminals (component video input) using component video cables.

Note:

If you connect the DVD player and the VCR to this receiver using the component video terminals, change the video input terminal setting to “COMPONENT” (see page 16).

1. If you have already plugged your VCR, DVD

player, TV and this receiver into the AC outlets, unplug their AC power cords first.

2. Connect your VCR, DVD player, TV and this

receiver as follows, using the cables with the monaural mini-plugs (not supplied).

• See “CONNECTIONS 1” on the previous page.

3. Connect the audio input/output jacks on VCR,

DVD player, TV and this receiver, using the cables with RCA pin plugs.

• See pages 7 and 8.

4. Connect the video input/output jacks on VCR,

DVD player, TV and this receiver, using the cables with RCA pin plugs, with S-video plug or with component video plugs.

• See “CONNECTIONS 2” on the previous page.

5. Plug the AC power cords of the components into

the AC outlets.

6. When turning on the TV for the first time after

the AV COMPU LINK connection, turn the TV volume to the minimum using the TV volume control on the TV.

7. Turn on the other connected components first,

then turn on this receiver.

VCR).

One-Touch DVD Play

Simply by starting playback on the DVD player, you can enjoy the DVD playback without setting other switches manually.

• When the DVD player is connected through the analog input jacks on this receiver (and analog input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD” or “DVD MULTI.”

• When the DVD player is connected through the digital input terminal on this receiver (and digital input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD DIGITAL.”

The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture.

Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode

• When you select “TV” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so that you can watch TV.

• When you select “DVD,” “DVD MULTI,” or “VCR” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the appropriate position (either Video Input 1 or Video Input 2) so that you can view the playback picture.

Note:

When connecting a TV with the AV COMPU LINK EX or AV COMPU LINK III terminal to this receiver, you cannot use a component video cable (as in case 3 on page 32). Connect the TV using a S-video or composite video cable (as in cases 1 and 2).

Automatic Power On/Off

The TV, VCR, and DVD player turn on and off along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver;

• If the previously selected source is “VCR,” the TV and VCR will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “TV SOUND,” only the TV will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “DVD” or “DVD MULTI,” the TV and DVD player will turn on automatically.

When you turn off the receiver, the TV, VCR and DVD player will turn off.

Note:

If you turn off the receiver while recording on the VCR, the VCR will not turn off, but continue recording.
