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 23˚F and 95˚F (–
5˚C and 35˚C).
• 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 or 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 parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece
supplied.
• Remote control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM loop antenna (1)
• FM antenna (1)
• Digital coaxial cord (1)
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 back
of the remote control.
2
Insert 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.
• 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.
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
4
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the
remote sensor on the front panel.

• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable with a 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 on the
right.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.

Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference.
We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.
NOTE
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases:
– When you unplug the power cord.
– When a power failure occurs.
CAUTIONS:
• 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.

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 set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround
Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected to
this receiver such as a TV, DVD player, DBS tuner, and VCR which
may cause noise.
• To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center
and surround speakers.

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 1 foot
(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 4 3/4 inches (12 cm).
100HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 3 15/16 inches (10 cm).
120HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker
is about 3 3/16 inches (8 cm).
150HZ*: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker
is about 2 3/8 inches (6 cm).
200HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is less than 2 inches (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.

set “SURR DL” to “2ms.”
NOTE
If the center and/or surround speakers are not connected (see pages
16 and 17), you cannot set the speaker delay time for the center and/
or surround speakers.
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.

Reproducing theater ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to
reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all
directions.
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement
can be expressed.
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the
same surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.
Introducing the Surround/DSP modes
You can use the following Surround/DSP modes with this receiver.
■ Surround modes
• Dolby Pro Logic II
• Dolby Digital
• DTS
■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
• DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
• All Channel Stereo
■ Surround modes
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel 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 surround treble and
enables stereo surround sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables you 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—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround
encoded sources bearing the mark
sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1 channel
sounds.
Pro Logic 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 PLII indicator lights up
on the display.
. You can enjoy a

Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
Dolby Digital*
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1 channel up to 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method records and digitally
compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel,
left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel
signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1
channel. Therefore, it is called 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source
component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver.
(See page 10.)
NOTE
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
—multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sound while playing Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you
can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Creating realistic sound fields
DTS**
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding.
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate, which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid and clear sound.
• 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 10.)
■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
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 create these important
elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.
Reflections from behind
Early reflections
The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:
LIVE CLUB: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club
with a low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance
club.
HALL: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a hall for
classical recitals.
PAVILION: Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition
hall.
These DAP modes can be used to add acoustic surround effects
while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or Linear
PCM digital signal, 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.
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.
• If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of
the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the
center speaker.
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo
software, either analog or Linear PCM digital signal.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on
the display.
Direct 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).

• 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 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 parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece
supplied.
• Remote control (1)

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.
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Reproducing theater ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to
reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all
directions.
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement
can be expressed.
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the
same surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.
Introducing the Surround/DSP modes
You can use the following Surround/DSP modes with this receiver.
■ Surround modes
• Dolby Pro Logic II
• Dolby Digital
• DTS
■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
• DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
• All Channel Stereo
■ Surround modes
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel 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 surround treble and
enables stereo surround sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables you 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—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround
encoded sources bearing the mark
sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1 channel
sounds.
Pro Logic 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 PLII indicator lights up
on the display.
English

Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
Dolby Digital*
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1 channel up to 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method records and digitally
compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel,
left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel
signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1
channel. Therefore, it is called 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source
component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver.
(See page 10.)
NOTE
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
—multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sound while playing Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you
can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

DTS**
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding.
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate, which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid and clear sound.
• 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 10.)
■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
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 create these important
elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.
Reflections from behind
Early reflections
The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:
LIVE CLUB: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club
with a low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance
club.
HALL: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a hall for
classical recitals.
PAVILION: Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition
hall.
These DAP modes can be used to add acoustic surround effects
while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or Linear
PCM digital signal, 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.
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.
• If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of
the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the
center speaker.
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo
software, either analog or Linear PCM digital signal.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on
the display.
Direct 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).

CONNECTIONS 2: Video Cable Connection
This receiver is equipped with three types of the video terminals—composite video, S-video, and component video, and the signals coming into
this receiver through one type of video terminals can output only through the terminal of the same type. So you need to connect the VCR and TV
to this receiver using one of the following three ways.
• When using the AV COMPULINK remote control system, set the component video input for the DVD player and the DBS tuner correctly (see
“Setting the video component input mode—DVD VIDEO/DBS VIDEO” on page 20); otherwise, the correct input for this receiver will not be
selected on the TV.
CASE 1: When connecting the source equipment
to the receiver through the S-video
terminals, connect this receiver to the
TV’s Video Input 1 terminal using S-video
cords.
CASE 2: When connecting the source equipment
to the receiver through the composite
video terminals, connect this receiver to
the TV’s Video Input 2 terminal (composite
video input) using composite video
cords.
CASE 3: When connecting the source equipment
to the receiver through the component
video terminals, connect this receiver to
the TV’s Video Input 2 terminals
(component video input) using
component video cords.
