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.

GAME mode function

¢

When you connect a game machine to the AV AUX jacks on the front panel, the input selector of the receiver switches automatically to "GAME" and the optimum sound field for enjoying games is set.

This feature improves your convenience in playing video games.

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control

In addition to the basic receiver operations, the remote control unit 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.

Video up conversion

This receiver can convert the incoming composite video signals to S- Video signal.

If your monitor TV has S-Video jacks, it is not necessary to do the composite video connections, just use an S-Video cord to connect the receiver and your monitor TV.

RDS (Radio Data System) tuner

This model 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.

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, 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.

CAUTION

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”. I

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.

• Power mode	• Speaker settings
• Input selector settings	• Input mode setting
• Speaker ON/OFF	• Sound mode settings
• Volume level	• Broadcast band
• BASS, TREBLE, INPUT level	• Frequency setting
• TONE ON/OFF	• Preset stations
• LOUDNESS ON/OFF	• Tuning mode
• Dimmer level	• ACTIVE EQ mode
• Listen mode setting	• GAME mode setting

CAUTION

The power in 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.

Input mode settings

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

1Use the INPUT SELECTOR key or Input Selector keys to select CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 or DVD/6CH.

2Press 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. fi 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. fi

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 Back 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.

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. &
