Setting up the system
CAUTION
Make sure that the power cord plug is disconnected from the AC wall
outlet before proceeding to connections. Also be sure to disconnect the
power cord plug from the AC wall outlet before changing connections.
For the connections of other system components, see pages 9 to 18.
When connecting an associated system component, be sure to read
its instruction manual.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears,even
though all connections have been made properly, reset the micro
computer referring to "In case of difficulty". P
Notes
1. Be sure to turn off the system components before connecting them.
2. Be sure to insert every connection cable completely into the jack.
Incomplete connection may result in absence of audio output or
production of noise.
3. Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet before
inserting or removing a connection cable.
4. Installation of outdoor antenna is a dangerous work. Please have your
dealer or a specialized technician install it.
5. Select the speaker installation locations with care. If a speaker is
installed near a source of magnetism including a magnet, the mutual
interference with the speaker may produce color irregularities on the
TV screen.
Analog audio 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 to be prepared separately by the user.
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.

¶ 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.

speakers
*Surround Back
*Left speaker
* 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 speakers : Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV.
Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo
effect.
Center speaker : Place the center speaker on the center between the
front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward so
that it is directly facing the listening area.
Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as possible,
either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind
the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing
directly towards the listeners.
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 speakers : Place the surround back speaker behind the
listining 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 EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-chan-
nel 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, Left
Surround , Right Surround, and Back Surround, 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 wolud be heard
in real life.
Dolby PRO LOGIC IIx/ Dolby PRO LOGIC
Dolby Pro Logic IIx was designed specifically to provide a new sense
of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby
Surround encoded sources.
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 IIx modes programmed into this receiver are
"MOVIE", "MUSIC" and "GAME". The "MOVIE" mode of the PRO LOGIC IIx
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 "Panaroma" mode extends the front stereo image to
include the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect with
side wall imaging. The "GAME" mode is designed for playing video games
and enhances the powerful feeling of sound.

For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie
soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain

titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated
manually.
This model lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program

DTS-ES
The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents
6.1-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround.
DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theaters that
includes an additional surround center channel matrixed within surround left and surround right. It’s compatible on predecessor DTS 5.1
system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and
steering of sound accross the rear soundstage.The DTS-ES receiver
will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix.
The DTS-ES decoders used in home cinema systems have decoding
options for utilizing the extra channel, in addition to processing
existing 5.1 channel surround sound :
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back
channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic
positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with

that will automatically activate this feature. However, for some

DTS
The DTS employs a larger amount of data than Dolby Digital to play
surround sound with higher quality. The DTS can be used with DVD
and LaserDisc software carrying the mark. Although the number
of channels is 5.1 and identical to Dolby Digital, the DTS format
features lower audio compression rate in digital recording, which
enables audio with more profoundness and higher S/N. The wider
dynamic range and better channel separation also contribute to make
the surround sound more precise and larger in scale.

DTS 96/24
The DTS 96/24 enables 5.1-channel playback with broad bandwidth
over 40 kHz and high resolution without affecting the picture quality
of DVD video. As it is compatible with the DTS surround playback, it
makes it possible to play DTS 5.1-channel surround audio even when
the AV amplifier incorporates only the DTS or DTS-ES decoder.

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.
LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass
sound effects.
When there is a LFE channel input in the DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS
format, the "LFE" indicator lights on the display of the receiver.

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) year 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.
Virtual modes
The following modes allow you to enjoy powerful surround audio even
when you use only two speakers or listen through headphones.
÷ In the Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone modes, only the listen
modes for 2 channels can be selected. Also, the desired listen mode may
be unable to be selected depending on the reproduced signals. ‚
How to set the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode
(when not using headphones):
Press the Dolby Virtual key for the following selections:
1 "DVS WIDE" :
The virtual surround effect can be
given added expansion and spatial
feeling.
2 "DVS REF" : *
Standard setting.
3 "DVS OFF" : Cancel
* This mode can be selected only when the surround speaker
setting is OFF.
How to set the Dolby Headphone mode
(when using headphones):
Press the Dolby Virtual key for the following selections:
1 "DH 1": Small, acoustically dry room.
2 "DH 2": More lively room than "DH 1".
3 "DH 3": Larger room than "DH 1" for
enhanced feelings of distance and
sound diffusion effect.

tape and perform an operation such as playback. The VCR should
function as controlled if its setup code is registered properly.
If the component does not function properly:
If more than one setup code is listed for the component, try
registering another setup code by performing steps 3 to 5.÷ Repeat steps 1 to5 above to register the setup code of
another component.
÷ To change the registered setup code, register a new setup
code again by performing steps 1 to 5 above.
Note
Although each setup code is designed to work with a number of
different models, certain codes may not work with some models.
(Also, certain codes may only operate some of the functions available
on a given model.)
Searching for your code
If your component does not respond after trying all the codes listed for
your component, or if your component is not listed at all, try searching for
your code.
For example, to search for a code for your TV.
