Setting up the system

Make connections as shown in the following pages.

When connecting the related system components, be sure to
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.

Notes:

1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections
are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be
noise interference.

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.

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 at each end, red for the right
channel and white for the left channel. These cables are usually
packed together with the source unit, or are available at your
local electronics retailer.

Microcomputer malfunction

If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears,
even though all connections have been made properly, reset the
microcomputer by referring to <Troubleshooting>. fl

Speaker placement

Front speaker

Subwoofer

Surround speaker

Front speakers:

Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the
speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker on the center between the front left and
right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward so that it is
directly facing the listening area.

Surround speakers:

Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to
the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening
area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly
towards the listeners.

¤ CAUTION

The power of this equipment will not be completely cut off
from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off.
Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily
accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.

¤ CAUTION

Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation
will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

• Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside
dimension including projection) equal to or greater than,
shown below.

Side panel : 10 cm
Back panel : 10 cm

• This unit is using the cooling fan. Do not place the unit
onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet, or similar. Sucked-in dust can
cause fire.

Subwoofer:

Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in
the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since
the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can
be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low
frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)

Note:

• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers
listed above, if you don’t have a center speaker or a subwoofer,
you can divide those signals between the available speakers in
the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround
reproduction from the speakers you have available.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a highly sophisticated and versatile audio
encoding/decoding technology. Dolby Digital technology can
transmit mono, stereo (two-channel), or up to 5.1-channel
surround sound (discrete* multichannel audio).
In 5.1-channel surround sound, the three front channels
(Left/Center/Right) deliver crisp, clean dialogue and accurate
placement of on-screen sounds, while twin surround channels
(Left Surround/Right Surround) wrap around the audience and
immerse them in the action. The LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel delivers real impact for explosions and other effects that
can, literally, be felt as well as heard.
The superior coding efficiency of Dolby Digital-and its ability
to deliver high-quality discrete multichannel audio without
compromising video quality has made it the designated audio
standard for DVD worldwide.
* The sound information contained in each of the six available

channels is distinct and independent. These six channels
are described as a "5.1-channel" system, because there are
five full-bandwidth channels with 3 Hz to 20 kHz frequency
range for Front Left and Right, Center, and Surround, plus one
"Low Frequency Effects" (LFE) subwoofer channel devoted to
frequencies from 3 to 120 Hz.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby® Pro Logic® II technology processes any high quality stereo
(two-channel) movie and music audio into five playback channels
of full-bandwidth surround sound. A matrix surround decoding
technology, Dolby Pro Logic II detects the directional cues that
occur naturally in stereo content and uses these elements to
create a five-channel surround sound playback experience.
Dolby Pro Logic II is fully compatible with all Dolby Pro Logic
technologies. It provides optimal audio for playback in a 5.1­channel home theater system for the thousands of videocassettes
and TV programs encoded in four-channel Dolby Surround (the
encoding counterpart to Dolby Pro Logic's decoding technology).
(Dolby Pro Logic II surround Movie mode)
Dolby Pro Logic II also enables video game consoles to encode
five-channel surround sound information into a stereo signal
with virtually no impact on the console's CPU, which means all
this extra audio won't slow your game down. (Dolby Pro Logic II
surround Game mode)
Dolby Pro Logic II can bring new life to your CD collection. Play
your music through your home theater system, and you'll hear
seamless, natural sound with new depth and detail. It's almost
like hearing a newly remastered CD. (Dolby Pro Logic II surround
Music mode)

Ambience effects

DTS

DTS Digital Surround is the standard for providing 5.1 channels
of discrete digital audio in consumer electronics products and
software content.
DTS can contain a larger volume of data than Dolby Digital, and
can reproduce high quality surround sound. They are the same
as the Dolby Digital 5.1 channels, but it is a format that lowered
the audio compression rate when recording digitally. Because of
that, rich sound with high S/N can be reproduced. Moreover, an
exact, magnificent surround sound with wide dynamic range and
excelling in separation is a feature of DTS.

DTS has a ".1" or LFE channel.
The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.

DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert
or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are
particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like
CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA,
JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you
watch a concert or sporting event!

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends
on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is
reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in
various places).

The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP
to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the
original signal.
