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 results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Dolby PRO LOGIC

Dolby PRO LOGIC II , whilst totally compatible with its predecessor PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows the 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 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.

Multi channel surround sound (SRS Circle Surround

SRS Circle Surround II ™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multichannel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II .

)

and three-dimensional

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.

SPEAKER EQ

The SPEAKER EQ function will automatically detect the various features of each speaker and effectively creates a stereoscopic sound effect.

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 (For the U.K. only)

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 (For the U.K. only)

Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.

Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are

1. imperfect, sound may not be produced or there will be noise inference.

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 on 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.

Microcomputer malfunction

If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though all connections have been made properly, reset the microcomputer referring to “In case of difficulty”. ‚

CAUTION

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

• Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the unit.

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

Input mode settings

CD/DVD, VIDEO 2 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input.

The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for CD/DVD, DVD/6CH and VIDEO 2 are full auto.

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 MODE

Input Selector

1 Use the Input Selector keys to select CD/DVD, VIDEO 2 or

DVD/6CH.

2 Press the INPUT MODE key.

Each press switches the setting as follows:

In DTS play mode

1 FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input) 2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)

In CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, DVD/6CH play mode

1 FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input) 2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input) 3 6CH INPUT (DVD/6CH input) 4 ANALOG (analog input)

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 detect:

In “FULL AUTO” mode (AUTO DETECT indicator 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 OPTICAL and COAXIAL indicator on the display will light up when digital signal is detected. If the input signal is analog, the ANALOG indicator will light up. To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use the INPUT MODE key to select “DIGITAL 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. Press the INPUT MODE key again.
