Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the |
|
|
receiver and prepare the surround processor. |
|
|
We will guide you to make setting up your system as easy as possible. |
|
|
However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video |

|
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the receiver.
Additional Information

Special features
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.

Setting up the system
Make connections as shown in the following pages. When connecting the related system components, be sure to also refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the 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.

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 consumption 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.
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.
INPUT SELECTOR
INPUT MODE
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD or VIDEO2.
2Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DVD/6ch play mode
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input)
4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
In other mode than DVD/6ch play mode
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
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.
