Special featuresHow to use this manual
True home theater sound
This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring
you maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround
mode according to your equipment or the software you are going to
play and enjoy! ∞
Dolby Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from
video software marked
The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to
steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals.
The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left
and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.
Dolby Digital
The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from
software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides
up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound
quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby
Surround.
DVD 6-channel input
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this
receiver allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD
source material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source
signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the
resulting ambience is far superior to what can be achieved with
conventional surround sound systems.
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner
The receiver is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several
convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically
preset up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station
name display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station;
and PTY search to let you tune stations by program type.
PTY (Program TYpe) search
Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.
.

components you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks
The receiver’s VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks can be used in two different
ways. Make the appropriate setting for the component connected to
the jack when the receiver is turned on.
Use as a VIDEO 2 jack
You can connect a video deck or the like to these jacks and perform
video playback and recording. The initial factory setting is "VIDEO 2".
Use as a MONITOR jack
You can connect a cassette deck or the like to these jacks and make
use of the deck’s monitoring function during recording. Alternately,
you can connect a graphic equalizer to these jacks to apply compensation to the music signal.
To use the VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks as MONITOR jacks, hold down
the MONITOR key of the main unit for more than two seconds so that
the indication shown below appears.

Input mode settings
CD/DVD, DVD/6ch and VIDEO2 inputs each include jacks for digital
audio input and analog audio input.
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each
connected component.
The initial factory settings is to use the digital audio signal for
playback (CD/DVD, DVD/6ch and VIDEO2).
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 input), you must set the input
mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.

Preparations
Notes
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging
or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection
cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions
and may damage the unit.
3. Do not connect power cords from components which power consump-
tion is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this
unit.
Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer
stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the audio signal
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually
have 2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for
the left channel. These cables are usually packaged with the source unit,
or are available at your local electronics retailer.
Digital input:
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD
player.
Analog input:
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,
or record player.
Auto sound:
In the auto sound mode (AUTO SOUND indicator lights), the
receiver selects the listening mode automatically during playback to
match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM) and the speaker
setting. The initial factory setting is auto sound on.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode,
use the INPUT MODE key to select "D-MANUAL" (manual sound).
However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases in
which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a Dolby
Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening
mode and source signal.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be
produced.

When you try to play a disc other than Dolby Digital such as CD, no
sound is produced or, noise may be heard. To avoid this situation, make
sure that you connect the component to the receiver’s DVD/6ch INPUT
jacks through a surround processor which can decode the surround
signal you want to listen to.
Connecting a DVD player which can decode the surround signal itself
is also acceptable.

Operations
Adjust the volume.
4
• It is not possible individually to adjust the volume level or sound
quality (SET UP, SOUND) of the separate channels when the
receiver is in the DVD/6ch mode. Adjust the volume with the
controls of the DVD player.
For the powered subwoofer, you can adjust the volume of the
subwoofer using the subwoofer’s own volume control.
Midnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)
When watching movies at night , you might not be able to raise the
volume as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic
range of previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (like
scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in
volume between the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it
easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.
1 Press the SOUND key several times until "NIGHT" is displayed.
• This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD/6ch or VIDEO2 is
selected as the source and the listen mode is set to "DOLBY
DIGITAL."
