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! ¤
THX
THX mode activates proprietary THX features that help recreate the
cinematic experience in a home environment. fl
THX Surround EX
During THX Surround EX mode, film soundtracks that have been
encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce
an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the
program. This channel is called Surround Back.
THX Surround EX mode activates proprietary THX features that help
recreate the cinematic experience in a home environment. fl
Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX
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.
As for Dolby Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels
from the 5.1 channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that
derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording.
For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks
recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.
Dolby PRO LOGIC
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor
PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows
the user 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.
II
and three-dimensional space
DTS and DTS-ES
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.
DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system
with additional Surround Back channel which evolved from the
conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was
recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete
6.1 produce the discrete surround back which is completely independent
and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesized
within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology.
DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels
surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround
back presents a more natural presence and surround effects by
increasing the impression of the sound image from back.
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.
SRS Circle Surround
SRS Circle Surround II™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ resulting
in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel,
surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surroundencoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital /DTS
multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to
audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multispeakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle
Surround II.
II
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.
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 during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.
SPEAKER EQ
SPEAKER EQ function is to adjust the receiver’s audio output
characteristics with the speakers’ characteristics which differs
depending on the size of the speakers. Especially for the music sound
source playback, the reproduced sound becomes more natural when
adjusting the output characteristics. When activating the SPEAKER EQ
function, you will be able to enjoy a more natural and dynamic sound
experience even with small size speakers.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
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.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce
high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2
channels content. Neo:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for movie
playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.

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.
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 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”. p
CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the following, 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 some space around the unit (from the largest outside
dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown
below.

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, VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 3 are full auto.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.
INPUT MODE
Input Selector
1 Use the Input Selector keys to select CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3
or DVD/6CH.
2 Press 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)
4 ANALOG (analog input)
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 record player.
Auto detect:
In “FULL AUTO” mode (AUTO DETECT indicator light up), the
receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically.
Priority is given to digital signal during input mode selection. 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. The OPTICAL and COAXIAL
indicator on the display will light up when digital signal is detected.
If the input signal is analog, the ANALOG indicator will light up.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode,
use the INPUT MODE key to select “DIGITAL 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.
At DIGITAL MANUAL, if the audio reproduction stops in the middle
due to change in the input signals, etc. press the LISTEN MODE
knob.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be
produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

speakers
(L,R)
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. Required for surround playback.
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.
Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer
Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Surround back (left and right) speakers
Place the speaker directly at the rear of the listening position. The
optimum position depends mainly on the room condition.
• 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. £

• 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.
