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.
CAUTION
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”. E
Memory back up function

• 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.

*Surround Back
Left Speaker
For optimum results, place the Surround Back speakers together for
THX Select2 Cinema, THX MusicMode, and THX Games.
*For Surround Back speaker, you may place either two Surround Back
speakers (Surround Back Left Speaker and Surround Back Right
Speaker) for 7.1 channel surround sound system or one Surround
Back Speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound system.
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.
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.
Subwoofer
Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the
listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center
speaker. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low
frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)
Surround Back Speaker/s
Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the
same height as the left and right surround speakers.
• 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. )

Dolby Digital
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
ous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality,
greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
). Compared with previ-
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three
surround channels from the two in the original recording.
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, surround
left, surround right, and surround back, each driving its own array of
speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers,
which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you
wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound,
positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real
life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie
soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain
a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for
titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated
manually.
Although Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low
frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep
bass performance in the other surround modes.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic
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
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx enhanced Dolby Pro Logic II’s features.
It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or
5.1 channel signals. This feature provides you an astonishing ambience effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural
sound. Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back
sound from Surround Back speakers.
The Pro Logic IIx modes programmed into this model are “Movie”,
“Music” and “Game”. The Pro Logic II modes programmed into this
model are “Movie”, “Music”, “Game” and “Pro Logic”. The “Movie”
mode has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level
surround sound playback while the “Music” mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional 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 image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.
The “Game” mode provides surrounded and exciting sound when
you enjoy game or TV. Especially in Pro Logic IIx “Game” mode, base
sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround channel
is added to Subwoofer. This provides ever more dynamic surround
effects.
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in
II
DSP mode
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall
to almost any type of program source. 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. 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!
Dolby Virtual Speaker
The Dolby Virtual Speaker features a virtual surround sound field.
This implements an effect as if there are multiple speakers in the
listening room.
Dolby Headphone
When headphones are used in music listening, the audio of the left
(or right) channel reaches only the left (or right) ear so the listener
cannot feel the presence of acoustic images on the front.
The Dolby Headphone simulates a virtual room and include its
acoustic characteristics in the left and right headphone signals. As a
result, the listener can hear the same components as in speaker
listening through the left and right years and therefore feel as if the
sound source is located on the front of the listener.
Because of the same processing in "Pro Logic II Movie mode with
Dolby Headphone" and "Pro Logic II Game mode with Dolby Headphone", their respective effectiveness is the same.
DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot 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.
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-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 produces the discrete surround back
which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces
the surround back which synthesised 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. Programs which are recorded using
DTS-ES technology consist of information flags which will be able to
control the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically
select the best matched mode.
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 modes, “Cinema” mode is for
movie playback and “Music” mode is for music playback.
DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 made it possible to achieve a wide frequency range of over
40 kHz by increasing the sampling frequency to 96 or 88.2 kHz.
Moreover, DTS 96/24’s ability of 24 bit resolution offers the same
frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.
DTS 96/24 is, as with conventional DTS Surround, compatible with
multi-channels. Therefore, sources recorded using DTS 96/24 technologies can be played in high sampling frequency, multichannel
audio with ordinary DVDs and CDs.
DTS has a “.1” or “LFE” channel.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.
Note
LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects.

THX
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by
the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX
grew from George Lucas' personal desire to make your experience of
the film soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home theatre,
as faithful as possible to what the director intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres with
similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then
transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not
changed for playback in a small home theatre environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home,
correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this product,
when the THX indicator is on, THX features are automatically added
in Cinema modes (e.g.THX Cinema, THX Surround EX):
Re-equalization (Re-EQ)
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and
harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because
film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie
theatres using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack
in a small home environment.
Timbre Matching
The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the
direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theatre, there
is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is
all around you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located
to the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature filters the
information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely
match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front
speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and
surround speakers.
ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)
ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed
to 2 side and 2 back surround speakers to provide the optimal
surround sound experience. When you set up your home theater
system using all eight speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround
Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and
Subwoofer) placing the two Surround Back speakers close together
facing the front of the room as shown in the diagram will provide the
largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to place the
Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to go THX Audio Set-up
screen and choose the setting that most closely corresponds to the
speaker spacing, which will re-optimize the surround sound-field.
ASA is used in three new modes; THX Select 2 Cinema, THX
MusicMode and THX Games Mode.
THX Select 2 Cinema mode.
THX Select 2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers
giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this
mode, ASA processing blends the side surround speakers and back
surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround sounds.
DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX
encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected in Select 2
Cinema mode if the appropriate flag has been encoded.
Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital
flag that allows automatic switching. If you know that the movie that
you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can manually select
the THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise THX Select 2
Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum replay.
THX MusicMode.
For the replay of multi-channel music the THX MusicMode should be
selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround
channels of all 5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS, Dolby Digital
and DVD-Audio to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.
Adaptive Decorrelation
In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create
an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre
there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround
speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker
as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive
Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time and
phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This
expands the listening position and creates - with only two speakers
- the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre.
THX Select 2
Before any home theatre component can be THX Select 2 certified,
it must incorporate all the features above and also pass a rigorous
series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product
feature the THX Select 2 logo, which is your guarantee that the Home
Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for
many years to come. THX Select 2 requirements cover every aspect
of the product including pre-amplifier performance and operation, and
hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels
and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source
material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and
each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,
sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
THX Games Mode.
For the replay of stereo and multi-channel game audio the THX
Games Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA processing
is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0 encoded game
sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately
places all game audio surround information, providing a full 360
degree playback environment. THX Games Mode is unique as it gives
you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the surround field.
THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX-Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of
Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.
In a movie theatre, 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, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in
addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right,
surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional
channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind
the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound
localization than ever before.
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX
technology, when released into the home consumer market may
exhibit a Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging. A list of
movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web
site at http://www.dolby.com.
Only receiver and controller product bearing the THX Surround EX
logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this
new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode during
the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround
EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround
Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very
pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the taste of the
individual listener.
