REMOTE CONTROL
Open the battery compartment of the remote control and insert 2 alkaline batteries, type AA (R06, UM-3).
Remove batteries if they are dead or if the remote control will not be used for a long time.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.
The buttons on the remote control work the same way as the corresponding ones on the receiver.
Important!
You have to press a source button for longer than 1 second to switch the sound source on the receiver. Pressing a source button for less than 1 second will only switch the remote control to use the commands for the selected product.
The remote control remains tuned to the selected source until another source button on the remote control is pressed. This enables you to operate additional sources (i. e. winding a tape) without changing the source on the receiver.

Analog audio connections
CONNECTORS
There are analog and digital connectors available on some appliances. If possible use the digital connection; usually this will result in better sound quality. See “Reassigning a source selection” on how to use the digital connectors of the receiver.
Because of a different kind of output signal, the use of Dolby Digital Laserdisc requires an optional AC-3 RF demodulator.
DTS Digital SurroundTMis 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 be taken by the customer if the analog outputs are connected directly to the receiver.
To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTMplayback, a DTS-compatible player has to be connected to one of the digital inputs of the receiver.

If the receiver and Magnavox (or Philips) TV (or even better in addition a Philips VCR or DVD player) with Cinemalink are connected with the CINEMA LINK system bus control, some extra system benefits are offered: – Upon starting a source, the system will
automatically switch to that input.
– You may control the system via the TV screen.
Depending on the language of the TV, this can be done in your preferred language.
– The TV can function as the center speaker of your
system, making a separate center speaker unnecessary. (The cable A has to be purchased separately.)
– By pressing the standby button on the remote
control, you can switch the complete system to standby.

CONNECTIONS
The type plate is located on the rear of the receiver.
1 Check whether the power voltage as shown on the type
plate corresponds to your local power voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service organization.
2 Connect the power cord to the power outlet.
To disconnect the unit from the power completely, remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Some of the speaker connections on the receiver are screw connectors and some are click-fit connectors. Use them as shown below.
1 Always connect the colored (or marked) wire to the colored
terminal and the black (or unmarked) wire to the black terminal.
2 Connect:
Left front speaker to L (red and black) Right front speaker to R (red and black) Center speaker to CENTER (blue and black) Left surround speaker to SURROUND L (grey and black) Right surround speaker to SURROUND R (grey and black)
You may use your Philips or Magnavox TV with CINEMA LINK as the center speaker. For TV’s with cinch connectors, additional cinch cables are needed. These cables must be connected to the blue CENTER PRE-OUT connector on the back. Look into the instruction manual of your TV on how to use it as the center speaker.
AM (MW) antenna
The loop antenna supplied is for indoor use only. Position the antenna as far away as possible from the receiver, a TV, the cables, a DVD player, a VCR and other radiation sources.
1
Fit the plug of the frame antenna to AM LOOP as shown below.
2 Turn the antenna for optimum reception.
FM antenna
The wire antenna supplied can be used only to receive nearby stations. For better reception we recommend using a cable antenna system or an outdoor antenna.
1 Open the FM 300 Ω click-fits by pushing the lever down as
shown below.
2 Insert each wire of the antenna into one hole.
3 Close the click-fits using the lever.
4
Move the antenna in different positions for optimum reception.
The unit complies with the FCC-Rules, Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

General hints for positioning
Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor as this will boost the bass tones too much. Placing the speakers behind curtains, furniture, etc. will reduce the treble response. The listener should always be able to see the speakers.
Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the positioning possibilities often are limited. You can find the best position for your speakers by referring to the picture above.
As a minimum we recommend 5 speakers (2 front, a center, 2 surround) for good surround sound. It is possible to reproduce some kind of surround sound with fewer speakers. This is done by redirecting the signals which are foreseen for the missing speakers to the existing ones. See Menus on how to set up the receiver correctly for the number and size of the speakers used.
Positioning the front speakers
The front speakers should be placed to the right and left in front of the listening position like usual stereo speakers.
Positioning the center speaker
The center speaker should be placed in the center between the two front speakers, e. g. underneath or on top of the TV. The best height for the center speaker is the height of the listener’s ears (while seated).
Positioning the surround speakers
The surround speakers should face each other and be in line with, or slightly behind the listener.
Positioning the subwoofer
A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of your system dramatically. The subwoofer can be positioned anywhere in the room, because it is not possible to locate the source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place the subwoofer in the middle of a room, since the bass could be severely weakened. Do not place any object on the subwoofer.
The relative volume of the speakers must be adjusted for optimal surround sound. You should be at your usual listening position when adjusting the speaker volume. See Receiver menu on how to unit up the receiver for the used speakers. Ideally, the volume in the listening position should be the same from all speakers.
1 Press POWER / STANDBY to switch on the receiver.
2 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.
y A test tone coming from the different speakers, except
the subwoofer, is heard.
3 Press +/- REAR on the remote control to
increase/decrease the volume of the actual speaker. The best result is achieved when all speakers have equal volume in the listening position.
4 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.
y The test tone stops.
Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volume
settings, we recommend making minor adjustments to them during surround sound playback.
If the receiver is used at very high power it can produce distortions which may damage your speakers seriously. If distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to a level where the sound is acceptable again.
To avoid overheating of the unit a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the unit off and let it cool down before reusing it. After having let the set cool down switch the set on again and select the desired source by turning SOURCE SELECT.
Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the speakers. The receiver switches to STEREO and surround
sound will be reduced to a stereo signal which is reproducible by standard headphones.
Disconnecting the headphones switches on the speakers again. If you wish to enjoy surround sound again, switch the receiver back to surround sound.
Clean the receiver with a soft, slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.
Do not expose the receiver to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

SYSTEM SETUP
Once the number and position of loudspeakers has been fixed, you can adjust the initial receiver settings for optimum surround sound with the actual setup:
1 Set which speakers have been connected to the receiver
(see Menus / SPEAKR SETUP”).
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
two front speakers left and right: present (cannot be altered) center speaker: present two rear speakers: present subwoofer: present
2 Select the size of the speakers (SMALL or LARGE)
(see Menus / SPEAKR SIZES”). Select SMALL if your speaker is able to reproduce low notes down to at least 80–100 Hz. Select LARGE if your speaker is able to reproduce low notes down to at least 50 Hz. (As a rule of thumb, a LARGE speaker has a cone diameter of at least 12 cms (5 inches).) See the specification sheets of your loudspeakers.
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
all speakers: SMALL
3 Set the distance from the speakers to the listener’s position
(see Menus / SPK DISTANCE”).
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
front speakers, left and right: 13 feet (4 meters) center speaker: 10 feet (3 meters) rear speakers, left and right: 7 feet (2 meters)
