Connecting TV or components with HDMI jack

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for an easy all- digital output to an HDMI or DVI-equipped TV.

Connection to an HDMI TV requires an HDMI cable while connection a DVI-equipped TV requires a DVI adapter besides a HDMI cable.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio, HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabyte per second, one connector (instead of several cables and connector), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.

If you have a HDMI TV or monitor, you can connect it to this unit with a HDMI cable.

Notes

• The arrow on the cable connector body should face up for correct alignment with the connector on the unit.

• Don’t connect a TV or MONITOR to HDMI 1/2 jacks. The unit may malfunction.

•When the multi channel input is used, the real output may be different from the speaker indicators that appear in display window. (Multi channel : A mode that can be inputted and outputted up to 6.1ch.)

Connecting speakers

The unit allows you to use 6.1 channel system.

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 6speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, surround center speaker, and a subwoofer.

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you connect the surround center speaker (6.1 channel).

For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This the action moves from side to side.

Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80 % of the dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel. It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality.

The surround center speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they were frequency limited in earlier "Pro Logic" type systems.

Bass effects are an important part of home theater.

For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low frequency reproduction.

Example of 6.1 channel speaker system configuration

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

Surround center speaker

Surround center speaker is required when a full 6.1channel system is installed. This speaker is necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, and DTS-ES Discrete. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer as shown left.

Tip

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

Speaker System Connection

For the best surround sound, you should connect 6 speakers and/or a powered subwoofer.

Connect the your front, center, surround, surround center speakers, and subwoofer by using the speaker wires.

Using a suitable cable, connect the SW (PRE OUT) to an input on optional powered subwoofer, as shown below.

Notes

•Turn the unit off before connecting the speakers

wires

• Be sure to match the speaker wire to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

• Be sure to use speakers with the specified impedance as shown on the rear panel of this unit.

• Do not touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. It may cause you to receive an electric shock.

• AR702NS model does not supply the speakers. If necessary, be sure to use speakers with the specified impedance as shown on the rear panel of the unit.

Connecting speaker wire

1. Loosen the knob by turning it counterclockwise.

2. Insert the bare part of the wire into the hole in side of each terminal.

3. Tighten the knob by turning it clockwise to secure the wire.

These settings provide for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel

analog/PCM source in the PLIIx Music listening mode.

PL2X-PANO (Panorama mode)

With this function, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

Y: Panorama function on. N : Panorama function off (default).

PL2X-DIM. (Dimension mode)

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field forward. It can be adjusted from -7 to 7 (default is 0).

PL2X-CWID (Center width mode)

With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally if you are using a center speaker, the center channel sound is outputted by only the center speaker. (If you are not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

Neo:6-CG (Center width mode)

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6channel surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 1.0. This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected. When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (–6dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 1.0, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Note

If you set the surround mode to the Neo:6 CINEMA, , you cannot adjust the settings since the Neo:6-CG is fixed to 1.0.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that drives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the

“” includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel surround format which consists of four channels ( front left, center, front right and surround). Sources bearing the Dolby Surround Pro Logic provide the theater like surround sound. The surround channel is monaural, but is played through two surround speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic II

This mode applies conventional 2- channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals, etc. to surround processing to offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes two modes as follows:

• Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE

When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.

• Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC

When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects.

• Dolby Pro Logic II GAME

When listening to game, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the dynamic effects.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Pro Logic II technology that creates a discrete 6.1 sound field from matrix surround or two-channel music stereo sources in systems configured for surround center speaker.

Audyssey

Audyssey 2EQ removes sound distortion by equalizing your sound system for your listening room. A good loudspeaker is designed to deliver sound without distortion or coloration. But when speakers are placed in a room, things change. Walls, furniture, and other objects reflect and absorb the sound from your speakers, creating complex distortions, specific to your room, which could not be predicted by the loudspeaker designer. Audyssey 2EQ is the first technology to properly measure sound information throughout your listening area and then combine this information to accurately represent the acoustical problems in the room. Based on these measurements, 2EQ calculates an equalization solution that corrects for both time and frequency response problems in every seat. The 2EQ solution results in better sound in every seat and a listening experience unlike anything you have heard before. Audyssey 2EQ is a trademark of Audyssey Laboratories, Inc.

DTS - ES Extended Surround™

This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly improves the 360- degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals, offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format. In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the surround center (sometimes also referred to as “surround center”) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods as follows:

• DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1

Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround center channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic image are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the surround center channel signals are automatically down mixed to the surround left and surround right channels so that none of the signal components are lost.

• DTS - ES™Matrix 6.1

With this format, the additional surround center channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and surround right channels beforehand. During playback, they are decoded to the surround left, surround right and surround center channels. Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix

6.1 format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1 - channel signal sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 - channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 channel decoder. When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix

6.1 sources are decoded with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum surround mode is selected. However, some DTS

- ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix mode must be selected manually to play these sources.

n DTS - ES Discrete 6.1, DTS -ES Matrix 6.1 sources, the surround center channel is monaural, but can be played through a surround center speaker.

DTS Neo : 6™surround

This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-channel surround playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.

• DTS Neo : 6 CINEMA

This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.

• DTS Neo : 6 MUSIC

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals from the center, surround left, surround right and surround center channels adds a natural sense of expansion to the sound field. “DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround” and “Neo : 6” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems,Inc.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of discrete digital audio into home theater systems.

DTS brings you premium quality discrete multi-channel digital sound to both movies and music.

DTS is a multi-channel sound system designed to create full range digital sound reproduction.

The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy of the studio master recordings to neighborhood and home theaters.
