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 Digital and Dolby Digital EX
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. As for Dolby Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1 channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best result, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing “5.1 like” presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video software marked and three-dimensional space from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.
DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer) channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a (wide) dynamic range.
In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround. Important:
When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.
DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like “ARENA”, “JAZZ CLUB”, THEATER”, STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with almost any kind of program source.
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.
ACTIVE EQ
ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE EQ is turned on during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register the components you have connected.
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.

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 |
|
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 whose 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 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 “In case of difficulty”. °

In “F-AUTO” (full auto) mode (AUTO DETECT and DIGITAL indicators light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically. Priority is given to digital signal during input mode selection. The receiver will select the input mode and listening mode automatically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS ) and the speaker setting. The initial factory setting is full auto.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use the INPUT MODE key to select “D-MANUAL” (digital manual). 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 digital.
In D-MANUAL mode, if the audio reproduction stops in the middle due to change in the input signals etc, press the LISTEN MODE key. If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

Ambience effects
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such
as Laserdisc or DVD software marked 
). Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1- channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording.
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, surround left, surround right, and surround back, each driving its own array of speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated manually.
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.
Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass performance in the other surround modes.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel. ¢
DTS mode
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.
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.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked 
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed into this receiver are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “PRO LOGIC”. The “MOVIE” mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the “MUSIC” mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls, like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama” modes to allow optimization of the soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various adjustment of the left-center-right speakers’ balance; the “Panorama” mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.
DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display during DVD 6-channel mode selection. ¢

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 heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the scenes with heavy sound passage and scenes with normal sound passage. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.

• PHONO key has to be re-assigned to another key before a setup code can be registered. º
Checking the codes
If you have set up the remote control using the procedures described in “Searching for your codes”, you may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your equipment:
For example, to find out which code is operating your TV:
1Press the TV key once. Next, press and hold the Remote Setup key until the LED blinks twice, then release the Remote Setup key.
2Press the numeric key to enter “9 - 9 - 0”.
•The LED will blink twice.
3To view the code for the first digit, press “1”once. Wait for 3 seconds, count the number of times the LED blinks (e.g., blinks = 3) and write down that number.
• If a code digit is “0”, the LED will not blink.
4Repeat step 3 three more times for the remaining digit. Use
“2” for the second digit, “3” for the third digit, and “4” for the fourth digit.
5To check the codes of your other components, repeat steps 1 through 4, but substitute the appropriate key (i.e., PHONO,
VID2, VID1, DVD/6CH, CD/DVD, MD/TAPE) for the component you are checking.
•As suggested earlier on, write down each of the four-digit code.
•PHONO key has to be re-assigned to another key before a setup
code can be registered. |
