DVD g-channel Input

If you own a DVD player equrpped with 6-channel output, thus recerver 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 El?.

Cinema EQ. mode will produce a more dynamrc sound quality in any conditions. You can enjoy a more rmpressive sound effect when you switch CINEMA EQ. ON during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control

Make connections as shown m the followmg 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.

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 pluggrng or unpluggrnganyconnectioncords. Pluggrng/unpluggrngconnection 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 thus unit.

DTS disclaimer clause

DTS Digital SurroundTM IS a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back rnsrde 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, excessrve norse will be exhibited. To avord 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 SurroundTM

playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLInk) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

Analog connections

Audio connections are made usrng RCA pm 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 electronrcs retailer.
