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

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

ENGLISH

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”. ‡

Memory back up function

Please note that the following items will be deleted from the unit's memory if the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet for approximately 1 day.

CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 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 and VIDEO 3 are FULL AUTO.

After completing connections and turning on this model, follow the steps below.

INPUT MODE

Input Selector keys

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

VIDEO 3 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, VIDEO 3 or DVD/6CH play mode

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

Auto detect:

In FULL AUTO mode ("AUTO DETECT" indicator lights up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically. 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. º The "DIGITAL" indicator lights up when a digital signal is detected. The "DIGITAL" indicator is extinguished when no digital signal is detected.

Fixed to digital input:

Select this mode if you want to keep the decoding condition (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) in the current listen mode. When DIGITAL MANUAL mode is selected, the set listen modes may be changed automatically depending on the input signal. º

Fixed to analog input:

Select this setting to play analog signals from a VCR, etc.

If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

• Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.

• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers correctly.

Speaker impedance

After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the rear panel of this model, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of this model could result in malfunctions or damage to the speakers or this model.

Surround Speakers (L, R)

*Surround Back

Left Speaker

* For Surround Back Speaker, you may place either two Surround

Back Speakers (Surround Back Left Speaker and Surround Back Right Speaker) for 7.1 channel surround sound system or one Surround Back Speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound system.

Front (left and right) Speakers

Place at the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.

Center Speaker

Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback.

Surround (left and right) Speakers

Place at the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere.

Subwoofer

Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center speaker. (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.)

Surround Back Speaker/s

Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the same height as the left and right surround speakers.

• 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

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.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1channel 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 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.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic

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 gent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. Dolby Pro Logic IIx enhanced Dolby Pro Logic II’s features. It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or 5.1 channel signals. This feature provides you an astonishing ambience effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural sound. Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back sound from Surround Back speakers.

The Pro Logic IIx modes programmed into this model are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “GAME”. The Pro Logic II modes programmed into this model are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC”, “GAME” and “PRO LOGIC”. The “MOVIE” mode 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 leftcenter-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. The “GAME” mode provides surrounded and exciting sound when you enjoy game or TV. Especially in Pro Logic IIx “GAME” mode, base sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround channel is added to Subwoofer. This provides ever more dynamic surround effects.

). This is achieved with an intelli-

DTS

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.

ENGLISH

DTS-ES

DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produces the discrete surround back which is completely independent and DTSES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesised within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES technology consist of information flags which will be able to control the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the best matched mode.

Neo:6

Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for movie playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.

DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 made it possible to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz by increasing the sampling frequency to 96 or 88.2 kHz. Moreover, DTS 96/24’s ability of 24 bit resolution offers the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM. DTS 96/24 is, as with conventional DTS Surround, compatible with multi-channels. Therefore, sources recorded using DTS 96/24 technologies can be played in high sampling frequency, multichannel audio with ordinary DVDs and CDs.

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

Note

LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.

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 mode?

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

ENGLISH

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.

DVD 6-channel mode

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and this model, 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 “6CH INPUT” appears in the display during DVD 6channel mode selection.

Surround play

The DTS compatible models can reproduce a CD, DVD, or LD carrying the DTS mark. Dolby Digital can be used when playing DVD or LD software bearing the

mark and Dolby Digital format digital broadcasts (etc.). Dolby Pro Logic can be used when playing video, DVD, or LD software bearing the mark.
