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.

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 use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center

and surround speakers.

• You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect

attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page

18).

• When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.

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, STB, VR (VDR or VCR), and subwoofer which may cause noise.

Switching to broadcast program of your choice temporarily

Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other Networks.” This allows the receiver to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station except in the following cases:

• When you are listening to non-RDS Networks—all AM (MW) stations, some FM stations and other sources.

• When the receiver is in standby mode or in TV Direct mode.

Before you start, remember...

The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to preset FM stations.

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the program type you want appears on the display.

• Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following:

TA : Traffic Announcement in your area. NEWS: News. INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the

widest sense.

How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:

If the station currently tuned in starts broadcasting the program type you have selected

The receiver continues to receive the station, but the indicator of the received PTY code starts flashing.

‘

When the program is over, the indicator of the received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the receiver remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.

If another FM station in the same Networks starts broadcasting the program type you have selected while you are listening to an FM station

The receiver automatically switches to the station. The indicator of the received PTY code starts flashing.

Tuner operations

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other Networks

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type (TA/ NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The receiver exits from Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an FM station

The receiver automatically tunes in the station except in the following cases:

• When you are listening to non-RDS Networks—all AM (MW) stations, some FM stations and other sources.

• When the receiver is in standby mode or TV Direct mode.

While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears on the display.

The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it can receive the Alarm ! signal correctly

The TEST signal makes the receiver work in the same way as the Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the receiver automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.

NOTES

• Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not

be compatible with this receiver.

• Enhanced Other Networks does not function for some FM stations

with RDS service.

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other

Networks function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Networks data.

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other

Networks function, you can only use the TA/NEWS/INFO and DISPLAY.

• The Enhanced Other Networks mode only works when receiving an

FM station with the Enhanced Other Networks code.

CAUTION:

If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently tuned station, press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to cancel the Enhanced Other Networks function. If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received finally, and the indication of the Enhanced Other Networks data type flashing on the display disappears.

‘

When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the station previously tuned in, but still remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode. The indicator of the received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit.

Creating realistic sound fields

DOLBY SURROUND

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

* Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro

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 7.)

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 7.)

■ 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 analogue 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 analogue 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).
