How to use this manual
4
This manual is divided into four sections: Preparations, Operations, Remote
Control, and Additional Information.
Preparations
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the receiver
and prepare the surround processor.
We will guide you to make setting up your system as easy as possible.
However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.
Preparations
Operations
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the receiver.
Remote Control
Shows you how to operate other components using the remote control, as
well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once you have
registered your components with the proper setup codes, you’ll be able to
operate both this receiver and your other AV components (TV, VCR, DVD
player, LD player, CD player, etc.) using the remote control supplied with this
receiver.
Additional Information
Shows you additional information such as “In case of difficulty” (troubleshooting) and “Specifications”.
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!
Home THX Cinema
THX Select incorporates a complex multichannel digital audio program
materials such as Dolby Digital, PRO LOGIC & DTS which enables
multichannel decoding.
This system features Re-equalization (Re-EQ), Timbre Matching, Adaptive
Decorrelation, Bass Peak Level Manager and Loudspeaker Position Time
Synchronization, which reproduces similar cinematic effects in the home
environment.
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
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor
PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantage in surround sound. It allows
the users 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
from 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.

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.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote signal
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 on the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be sure
8
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
Preparations
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 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 which 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 packaged 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”. o
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, DVD/6ch, VIDEO2 and VIDEO3 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, DVD/6ch,
VIDEO2, or VIDEO3.
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
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input)
4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
In modes other than DTS or DVD/6ch play mode
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the followings, 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.

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.

speaker
Front speakers : Place to 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. Be sure to connect a
center speaker when using the Dolby 3 Stereo mode.
Surround speakers : Place to 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. Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
• 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. ¡

1 Secure.
• Sound will not be heard if the speaker terminal is not fully secured.
• 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 the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance
ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or
damage to the speakers or receiver.
