Listening caution

Selecting ﬁne audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is

the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how

only you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

• clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

Set the dial and leave it there.

•

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Step

5.1, 6.1, 7.1 etc. channel playback is possible on this unit. This page introduces speaker settings for 7.1 channel playback. The ideal placement is to set each speaker (excluding the subwoofer) the same distance away from the listening-viewing position. Measure the actual distance from each of the connected speakers to the listening-viewing position and perform steps

instructed in “Setting distances” (➔ page 37) or perform steps instructed in “Auto speaker setup using the setup microphone” (➔ pages 24 and 25) when you cannot install speakers the same distance away.

Example: Front speakers (2), center speaker (1), surround speakers (2), surround back speakers (2) and

Front speakers (A

Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.

C Center speaker

Place underneath or above the center of the TV. When you do not install the center speaker, sound assigned to it is distributed to front speakers and output from them.

Surround speakers (D right, E left)

Place on the side of or slightly behind the listening-viewing position. When you do not install surround speakers, sound assigned to them is distributed to front speakers and output from them.

Surround back speakers ( F right, G left)

Place behind the listening-viewing position, about 1 meter (3 feet) higher than ear level. When you do not install any surround back speaker, sound assigned to them is distributed to surround speakers or front speakers and output from them.

H Active Subwoofer

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.

Note

• Aim front faces of all speakers at the listening-viewing position for setting.

Notes on “To connect bi-wire speakers”

Bi-wire speakers have separate connection terminals for high frequency and low frequency signals (➔ page 22).

•

Bi-wiring prevents high frequency and low frequency signals from interfering with each other. It offers playback in high audio quality.

• HF and LF stand for high frequency and low frequency, respectively.

Notes on “Using surround speakers wirelessly with SH-FX67”

• Audio output changes as follows when you use surround speakers wirelessly (➔ page 23).

- The maximum number of playback channels is 7.1. (2 sets

of SH-FX67 are necessary.)

- See SH-FX67’s operating instructions for setting surround

selector on SH-FX67 to enjoy 7.1ch playback.

To perform the auto speaker setup using the supplied

setup microphone

Glossary

Analog

Audio signals produced from L/R audio output terminals of general equipment is called analog audio.

CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)

This is the copyright protection technology which prevents ﬁle copy of DVD audio.

Decoder, Decode

Decoder is the device to enable us to hear audio data that is encoded on DVD, etc., as a normal audio signal. This process is called Decode.

Deep Color

This unit incorporates HDMI™ (V.1.3 with Deep Color) technology that can reproduce greater color gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a compatible TV. You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colors, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal color banding. [A lower color gradation (256 steps), without deep color, will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support deep color.]

Digital

DVD recorders, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, and CD players are usually equipped with digital output terminals. Connect through the digital terminal to enjoy digital surround systems such as Dolby Digital and DTS.

Dolby Digital

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Compatible with surround sound as well as 2-channel stereo sound. With this technology, you can keep massive amount of audio data efﬁciently.

Dolby Digital +

Improved version of Dolby Digital. It offers higher-audio quality, support for multi-channel (5.1-channel and more) and increased bitrates.

Dolby Digital Surround EX

Improved version of Dolby Digital. You can playback 6.1-channel sound by adding surround center to 5.1-channel compatible with Dolby Digital.

Dolby Pro Logic

This technology converts any 2-channel source recorded including Dolby surround into 5.1/7.1 or 6.1-channel sound with more realistic sound effects. You can enjoy old movies recorded in conventional 2-channel sounds (excluding monaural sounds) as they are converted to dynamic 5.1/7.1 or 6.1-channel sound.

/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is an advanced version of MLP lossless method used for DVD audio. This is a high-quality audio method which enables complete playback of audio data made through a mastering studio. Dolby TrueHD can only be used for Blu-ray Disc, etc, but is not applicable to DVD audio format.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Surround system used in most movie theaters. Separation works well between channels, resulting in realistic surround effects.

DTS 96/24

This is higher-quality DTS with 96 kHz/24 bit and used for DVD-Video. 48 kHz/24 bit playback is possible on systems incompatible with DTS 96/24 due to backward compatibility.

DTS-ES

Improved version of DTS. You can playback 6.1-channel sound by adding surround center to 5.1-channel.

DTS-HD

Audio technology enhanced in sound quality and functions based on DTS (used at movie theaters). You can playback DTS-HD sound as DTS on conventional AV ampliﬁers due to backward compatibility. Depending on the encoding methods and bitrates, DTS is classiﬁed into three types: DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS Digital Surround. The format itself supports up to 2048 channels, but the maximum number of channels for next-generation DVD (Blu-ray Disc, etc.) is 8ch (7.1ch).

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

HDMI (High Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI enables you to transmit digital audio and video signals using a single cable. You can also transmit control signals using HDMI connections.

LPCM (Linear PCM)

This is one of the PCM methods and the uncompressed audio signal encoded digitally. This method is used for music CD, etc. Multi-channel LPCM signals used for Blu-ray Disc, DVD audio, etc. enable playback with higher-sound quality.

Optical

Using optical ﬁber cable for digital signal input/output from DVD, CD, etc., provides better sound quality for playback or recording compared to analog.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

This is one of the methods that enables analog sounds to be converted to digital sounds.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the n second, so larger numbers mean faithful reproduction of the original sound.

umber of samples taken per

Surround signal

Audio signal made up with front speakers, center speaker and surround speakers.

x.v.Color

This is a name of products compliant with ISO Standard for wider color space: “xvYCC”.

1080p

This is one of the digital hi-vision images. 1080 is the number of effective scanning lines that constitute the actual screen. This enables every detail to be beautifully expressed. Images are less ﬂickered with progressive method that scans in order from the top.
