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
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.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
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. Dolby
PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video
software marked
music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the
experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.
Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from
video software marked
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.
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.
and three-dimensional space from
.
Before applying the power
Multi channel music (SRS Circle Surround )
SRS Circle surround enables you to listen to multi channel sound from the
stereo source. We assume you have already enjoyed listening to Dolby
digital sound/DTS multi channel sound with your multi speakers. Now,
this time try listening to the stereo source (ex. Audio CD) using your multi
speakers. You may discover a new type of “stereo” sound through SRS
Circle Surround.
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.
CINEMA EQ.
Cinema EQ. mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any
conditions. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when you
switch CINEMA EQ. 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.

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.
DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format
available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be
decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this
reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog
outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited.
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions
should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected
directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder
system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or
TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.
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 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 each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left
channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or
are available at your local electronics retailer.
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO2, VIDEO3 and DVD/6ch 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 for audio signal playback (CD/DVD,
DVD/6ch) and (VIDEO2, VIDEO3) are digital and analog respectively.
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 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, VIDEO2,
VIDEO3 or DVD/6ch.
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DTS play mode
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
In DVD/6ch play mode

Preparation
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, DTS ) 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.
