Connections / Analog Audio Connections Page 11

Please read the following text as additional to the text on page 11:

DTS Digital Surround

TM

is 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.

Only for FR975 and MX980D: To enjoy DTS Digital Surround

TM

playback, a DTS-compatible player has to be connected to one of the digital

inputs of the receiver.

System Setup Page 14

Please read the following new chapter after the "Positioning the Speakers” chapter in this section:

Receiver Adjustment

Once the number and position of loudspeakers has been fixed, you can adjust the initial receiver settings for optimal surround sound with
the actual setup:

1 Set what speakers have been connected to the receiver (see “Menus / Speaker Setup” on page 17).

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: Speaker Sizes” on page 17).

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:

FR965 and MX960D: Front speakers, left and right: LARGE

Center speaker: SMALL
Rear speakers left and right: LARGE

FR975 and MX980D: All speakers: LARGE

3 Set the distance from the speakers to the listener’s position (see “Menus: Speaker Distance” on page 17).

Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:

FR965 and MX960D: Front speakers, left and right: 13 feet (4 meters)

Center speaker: 10 feet (3 meters)
Rear speakers, left and right: 7 feet (2 meters)

FR975 and MX980D: All speakers: 10 feet (3 meters)

General note: If you prefer that your receiver does not correct automatically for speaker sizes and distances, you can re-progam it to a
neutral setting by:

Install all speakers: (Subwoofer present, Center and Rear loudspeakers: all YES)
Set Front, Center and Rear speaker sizes to LARGE
Set all loudspeaker distances (L/R, Center and Rear) to the same distance (e.g. 10ft).

Subwoofer / Adjustment Page 15

Please read the following as text addition to Point 3:

Turn SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROL to adjust the volume of the subwoofer. The recommended adjustment is the middle position.

FR 968, MX 990D ADDENDUM –

GENERAL INFORMATION / SUBWOOFER (MX 990D only)

English

Your receiver FR 968 basically has the same functions as the
FR 965 described in the supplied instruction manual.
However, please note the following differences:
– The FR 968 has S-Video connections like the FR 975 (see

instruction manual ”CONNECTORS”).
– The FR 968 has the power of the FR 975.
– The FR 968 has a different remote control than described in

the instruction manual. Please read the supplied addendum

sheet.
– The MX 990D package contains a different subwoofer than

described in the instruction manual. Please read the

following instructions for the subwoofer.

• Install the subwoofer wherever you like because with the

bass sound range reproduced from the subwoofer (below
150Hz) human hearing cannot detect the direction and
position where the sound is being produced.

• Also, since the feeling of stereo is lost with bass

frequencies, a single subwoofer is enough for reproducing
the bass of stereo channels.

• To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend that

you place the subwoofer on a solid floor where resonance
is unlikely to occur.

• Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping a few

centimeters away from the wall.

• Do not place any object on the subwoofer or sit on it.

• If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the bass

could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence
of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move
the subwoofer away from the center of the room or
eliminate the cause of the standing wave by installing a
bookshelf on the wall, etc.

Important!

Before you operate the subwoofer, complete the preparation
procedures. Switch on your receiver and select the sound
source.

After all other connections have been made, connect the
AC power cord to the receiver and to the wall outlet.

• Rotate SUBWOOFER VOLUME
clockwise until there is a click.

y The LED indicator lights up

in green.

• Rotate SUBWOOFER VOLUME clockwise until there is a click.

y The LED indicator light turns red.

You can adjust the subwoofer to suit the sound level of your
front speakers. Reinforcing the bass sound gives you a
greater sense of atmosphere.

1 Adjust the VOLUME on the receiver until the sound from

the front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the
sound from the subwoofer will also be distorted.

2 Play your favourite songs. Male vocal tunes containing

bass sounds are most suitable for adjustment.

3 Adjust the SUBWOOFER VOLUME to determine the

loudness of the bass sound from the subwoofer.

• Use PHASE SELECTOR located
at the rear of the subwoofer to
select the phase polarity.

Selecting the polarity at either 0° or 180° may determine
better bass reproduction effect in certain listening
environments (depending on the type of front speakers and the
position of the subwoofer). It may also change the expense
and tightness of sound, and affect the feeling of sound field.

• Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer when
listening in your usual listening position. Repeat the
adjustment for volume and phase polarity to suit your
preference.

Once you have adjusted the subwoofer to the settings you
desire, use the VOLUME control on the receiver to adjust the
volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers. You do not
need to adjust the subwoofer settings again even when you
change the volume level of the receiver.

REMOTE CONTROL

You can identify the universal remote control by the
inscription Multibrand/Universal.

The universal remote control must be programmed to use the
codes for your appliances of different brands. This is done by
keying in a 4-digit code or by scanning the codes until the
correct one is found. We recommend to using the 4-digit
code. This method is faster and more reliable. The code
scanning method should be used only if you cannot find the
code for one of your appliances. The codes are listed at the
end of this book.

Important!

Use the remote control buttons for programming, not the
buttons of the receiver or other appliances.

Programming with the 4-digit code
1 Keep the source button for the appliance which should be

controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.

2 Key in the 4-digit code for the appliance (codetable at the

end of the booklet).

Notes: – If more than 4 digits are entered, the remote control

will recognize only the ones keyed in first.

– If you do not key in a code within 30 seconds the

remote control will switch off the programming
function without changing the code.

– To program a new appliance, simply overwrite the

old code by entering a new one.

Scanning the codetable
1 Switch on the appliance which should be controlled.

2 Keep the source button for the appliance which should be

controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.

3 Press and release 2 again.

yThe remote control sends the codes for channel up or

standby (depending on the selected source) for one
brand after the other.

4 As soon as the appliance reacts – switches to the next

channel or to standby – press 2 to confirm the code.

yThe identified code will be used.

• If the set does not react within 2 minutes, the code for this

appliance is not stored in the remote control. The code of
the remote control will remain unchanged.

Note: When taking out the batteries of the remote control for

more than 1 minute the codes must be reprogrammed.

Once you have found and tested the codes for your various
appliances, you may want to write them down here.
