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.
Remote control
This remote control has two kinds of signal-
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.
RF remote signal
You can operate the receiver by sending RF remote signal from the remote
control. The controllable range of the remote control is not influenced by
surroundings such as distance or an obstruction.
MACRO play
The MACRO function lets you perform a series of operations automatically,
like turning ON the power of the receiver and connected components,
switching the input selectors, and starting playback. (Be sure to register
your components before starting the macro set up procedure).

Setting up the system
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
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 unit.
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

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. ™
