Before applying the power

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!

ª

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 and three-dimensional space 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.

Preparation

		Setting up the system
8		Make connections as shown on the following 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.
		DTS disclaimer clause
		DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format
Preparations		available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be
		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

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 cm Side panel : 10 cm Back panel : 10 cm

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

1Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, DVD/6ch, VIDEO2, or VIDEO3.

2Press 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)

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.

Surround	position

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. ¡
