Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several operation
modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In order to
effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain a proper
understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.).
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation modes
may result in incorrect operations.

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.
and three-dimensional space

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,

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.
• Leave a space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension
including projection) equal or greater than, shown below.
Top panel : 50 cmSide panel : 10 cmBack panel : 10 cm
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 turntable.
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.

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

Ambience effects
This receiver is equipped with listening modes that allow
you to enjoy an enhanced sonic ambience with a variety of
video sources.
In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround
modes, make sure to input the proper speaker settings
beforehand.¡
Surround modes
DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and can not 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.

Front speakers (L, R)

* Optional in this mode.
* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-
directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects.
DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.
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
Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality,
greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Note
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left
and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital
surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby
Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

). Compared with previous
Dolby Pro Logic II
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
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of
stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes
programmed into this receiver are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “PRO LOGIC”.
The “MOVIE” mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to
produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the
MUSIC mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three
optical 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 left-center-right speakers' balance; the “Panorama mode” extends the front stereo images to include the surround
speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

Dolby 3 Stereo
Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround

speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information
is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed
for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve
sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.

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.
Operations
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.
Home THX Cinema
THX is a creation of Lucasfilm Ltd., which practically brings the cinema
sensation to your home with its superb multichannel digital audio
program.
This system promises a reproduction of an enthralling home experience,
which is able to encompass smaller space with fantastic audio output.
In order to enjoy this function, an optimum speaker placement is
required.
THX includes Re-equalization (Re-EQ), Timbre Matching, Adaptive
Decorrelation, Bass Peak Level Manager and Loudspeaker Position
Time Synchronisation.
Re-equalization (Re-EQ)
When listening in a typical home room, there may be some variation of
echo due to air absorption and smaller space. The sound produced by
flat response loudspeakers normally used in the cinema can be overly
bright in the home environment. Thus, Re-equalization (Re-EQ) will
adjust this condition to fit the home environment for a similar cinema
effect.
Center speaker

Timbre Matching
Due to human condition, listening to sound from various directions of
speakers can be very disturbing. So, it is important to smoothen the flow
of sound to suit the home cinema environment. Timbre Matching is able
to smoothen the flow of sound to the listener who will be able to enjoy
the cinema effect at home.
Adaptive Decorrelation
Mono sound track produced form the speaker system comes from only
one direction, which does not exemplify the cinema surround sound
experience. Adaptive Decorrelation is able to adjust the inaccuracy of
this sound distribution.
Bass Peak Level Manager
Certain sound tracks may produced various bass peaks that could
be unpleasant in a home cinema environment. Therefore, a useradjustable Bass Peak Level Manager is used to control the bass level
to suit the system’s capacity. ™
Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronisation
This function enables you to adjust the different speaker’s distance to
your listening position. It permits an accurate synchronisation, which
creates the ultimate sound environment.

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?
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 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

spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.

Notes
• Depending on the type of the signal or speaker setting, some listening
modes cannot be selected.
• When playback is started, the sound may be cut or interrupted before
the input source is confirmed as Dolby Digital.
• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround (as well as all the other listening
modes) from a single component, be sure to use a Dolby Digital
compatible source component. Connect the Dolby Digital compatible
source component's Dolby Digital format digital audio signal to one
of the DIGITAL INPUT jacks on the back of the receiver. Connect the
normal audio signal correctly to the respective component's AUDIO
jacks. 90!#
• Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. It
is able to automatically maintain the overall audio output level constant. When playing source material with Dolby Digital software
encoding, a brief message will appear.

Midnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)

When watching movies at night you might not be able to raise the volume
as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic range of
previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with
sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between
the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the
sound track, even when listening at low volumes.
1 Press the SOUND key repeatedly until “NIGHT” appears in the
display.
• This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD/6ch, VIDEO2 or VIDEO3
is selected as the source and the listen mode is set to “DOLBY
