CAUTIONS ON HANDLING BATTERIES

Misusing batteries can lead to fi re, injury or soiling
of surrounding area as a result of leakage, rupture
or corrosion.
Carefully read the following precautions before
using batteries.

• Insert the batteries while ensuring that their
ª and · poles are properly aligned with
the corresponding markings on the remote
controller.

• Batteries of the same size and shape may have
different voltages. Do not use any battery except
the type indicated. Do not use old and new
batteries together, and do not use different types
of batteries together.

• Do not recharge batteries.

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Seek
medical attention if accidentally ingested.

• Do not carry or store batteries together with
metal ball point pens, necklaces, coins, hair pins,
etc.

• If you will not be using the remote controller for
an extended time (1 month or more), remove the
batteries to prevent leakage. If batteries leak, do
not touch the fl uid with bare hands. Wipe away
any fl uid in the case and put in new batteries.
When doing so, handle with care, because fl uid
on skin or clothing presents a burn risk. If you
accidentally get fl uid on your skin, immediately
wash with water and seek medical attention.

• Do not heat or take apart batteries or put them in
fl ame or water.

• When disposing of used batteries, please
comply with governmental regulations or
environmental public instruction’s rules that
apply in your country or area.

• Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat
such as direct sunlight, fi re or the like.

BASIC CONNECTIONS

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7-speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a

CONNECTIONS

OPERATION

center speaker, surround left and right speakers, a surround back left and right speakers, and a subwoofer.
For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver
units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side.

BASIC

BASIC

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 benefi ts 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.

BASIC

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. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be
used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system.

ADVANCED

SETUP

FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS

We recommend to set the front L and R speakers
with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

ADVANCED

CENTER SPEAKER

Align the front line of the center speaker with the
front L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a
little backward from the line.

SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS

TROUBLESHOOTING

When this unit is used in surround operation, the
preferred location for surround speakers is on the
side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the
listening position.
The center of the center speaker should face the
center of the room.

SURROUND BACK LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS

OTHERS

Surround back speakers are required when a full

7.1-channel system is installed.
Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind the
listening position.
The center of the speaker should face into the room.

SUBWOOFER

We recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximum
bass effect. As the subwoofer only handles low
frequencies, you can place it any where in the room.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS,
AND A CENTER SPEAKER

Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the
three front speakers at the same height, as best
as possible.

Note

Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left,
right and the center speakers when the speakers are
installed near the TV.

SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS

Place the surround left, right and surround back
speakers higher than your ears by about 70cm–1m.
Also place the speakers at the same height, as best
as possible.

70cm 1m

TROUBLESHOOTING

Notes

• Place the microphone at the main listening point
before carrying out the measurements.

• With the microphone pointed straight up at the
ceiling at the listening point, use a stand or tripod
to adjust the microphone to the same height above
the fl oor level as your ears.

OTHERSSETUP

• Be sure not to place any obstacles between the
speakers and microphone.

• When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifi er,
set the volume control to the center position, and
set the crossover frequency to off or the highest
frequency.

22

• While the measurements are being performed,
do not stand between the microphone and either
speaker. Make the listening room as quiet as
possible. Dark noise may adversely affect the
indoor measurements. Close the windows, and
turn off the power of all devices (such as cell
phones, TV, radio, air conditioner, fl uorescent
lights, electrical appliances or dimmers).

• During the measurement process, place your cell
phone at a distance from all the audio electronic
devices.

Cell phones, even when they are not being used,

may adversely affect the measurements due to
RFI (radio frequency interference).

• We recommend that the AUTO SETUP operation
be performed using the remote controller rather
than the front panel controls.

• The volume levels of the test tones played from
each channel will exceed the peripheral noise
in the listening environment and continue to
increase until the optimum signal-to-noise ratio
is attained.

• Proceed while taking the environment and any
nearby children into consideration.

AUTO

When this mode is selected, the unit determines
whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital,
Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 or PCM
audio.
Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel
sources that have a Dolby Digital Surround EX or
DTS-ES auto trigger fl ag in the digital signal.
When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the
number of channels for which the corresponding
signal is encoded will be played.
Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with
Dolby surround status automatically subjects that
signal to Pro Logic IIx movie processing before
play.
PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this
mode.

Notes

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and
CD players, performing operations such as skip
or stop may momentarily interrupt the output.

• When the signal is not decoded, the mode is
changed to AUTO mode automatically. See page
38 to confi rm the available decoding modes.

SOURCE DIRECT

In SOURCE DIRECT mode, the tone control
circuit ROOM EQ and HT-EQ are bypassed for
full-range frequency response and the purest audio
reproduction.

Dolby Digital EX

In a movie theater, fi lm 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.
Dolby Digital EX is not available in systems that do
not have without surround back speaker(s).

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)

DTS-ES adds the surround center channel audio to
the DTS 5.1 channel format to improve the acoustic
positioning, and makes acoustic image movement
more natural with the 6.1 channel reproduction.
This unit incorporates a DTS-ES-decoder, which
can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES
Matrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete
recording of all channels, including the surround back
channel(s), and higher quality audio reproduction.
DTS-ES is not available in systems that do not have
surround back speakers.

CAUTION

Note for DTS

• To connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD
player needs to support DTS digital output. You
may not be able to play some DTS source signals
from certain CD players and LD players even if
you connect the player to the unit digitally. This
is because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency
or frequency response), and the unit cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data.

• Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.

• While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are
playing in another surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to
analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN
MENU or by pressing the A/D button.

• The outputs for VCR OUT output analog audio
signals only. Do not record from CDs or LDs that
support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the
DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

Note or Dolby Digital Surround EX

•

When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the
EX/ES mode.

• Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX­encoded software does not contain the
identifi cation signal. In this case, set the EX/ES
mode manually.

Note for 96 kHz PCM audio

•

The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be
used when playing PCM signals with a sampling
frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/
Audio discs).

•

Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.
For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

•

Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When
using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output
from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s
operation manual.

• 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 multichannel
digital sound to both movies and music.
DTS is a multichannel 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.
Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly
as the moviemaker intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies
or music on of DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.

• dts Neo:6

The advantages of discrete multichannel systems
over matrix are well known.
But even in homes equipped for discrete
multichannel, there remains a need for high-quality
matrix decoding. This is because of the large library
of matrix surround motion pictures available on disc
and on VHS tape; and analog television broadcasts.
The typical matrix decoder of today derives a center
channel and a mono surround channel from two­channel matrix stereo material. It is better than a
simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to
improve separation, but because of its mono, band­limited surround it can be disappointing to users
accustomed to discrete multichannel.

®

Neo:6 offers several important improvements as
follow,

• Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of
matrix decoding from stereo matrix material.
Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive
six and five separate channels, respectively,
corresponding to the standard home-theater
speaker layouts.

• Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements
within a channel or channels to be steered
separately, and in a way which follows naturally
from the original presentation.

• Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo
nonmatrix recordings into the fi ve- or six-channel
layout, in a way which does not diminish the
subtlety and integrity of the original stereo
recording.

• dts Digital Surround ES

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichannel
digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with
the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS­ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360­degree surround impression and space expression
thanks to further expanded surround signals. This
format has been used professionally in movie
theaters since 1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C,
SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also
offers the SB (Surround Back) 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 DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.

• dts Digital Surround 96/24

The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at

44.1 kHz. Professional audio has been 20- or 24-bit
for some time, and there is increasing interest in
higher sampling rates both for recording and for
delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide
extended dynamic range. Higher sampling rates
allow wider frequency response and the use of anti­alias and reconstruction fi lters with more favorable
aural characteristics.

DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to
be encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-Video
titles.
When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to
deliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but only
in two channels, and with serious limitations on
picture. This capability has had little use.
DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a
new player is needed, and only analog outputs
are provided, necessitating the use of the D/A
converters and analog electronics provided in the
player.

DTS 96/24 offers the following:

1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master.

2. Full backward compatibility with all existing
decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48 kHz
signal)

3. No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be carried
on DVD-video, or in the video zone of DVD-audio,
accessible to all DVD players.

4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full­motion video, for music programs and motion
picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

DTS-HD Master Audio is capable of delivering audio
that is a bit-for-bit identical to the studio master.
DTS-HD Master Audio delivers audio at super high
variable bit rates -24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps)
on Blu-ray discs and 18.0 Mbps on HD-DVD - that
are signifi cantly higher than standard DVDs . This bit
stream is so “fast” and the transfer rate is so “high”
that it can deliver the Holy Grail of audio: 7.1 audio
channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths
that are identical to the original. With DTS-HD
Master Audio, you will be able to experience movies
and music, exactly as the artist intended: clear, pure,
and uncompromised.

encoded specifi cally to take full advantage of Pro
Logic II playback, including separate left and right
surround channels. (Such material is also compatible
with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output
channels from 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
movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital
