5 minute guide

Introduction to home theater

You are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen to music, but may not be used to home theater systems that give you many more options (such as surround sound) when listening to soundtracks.

Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio channels to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your room, but also on the source and the sound settings of the receiver.

DVD-Video has become the basic source material for home theater due to its size, quality, and ease of use. Depending on the DVD, you can have up to seven different audio channels coming from one disc, all of them being sent to different speakers in your system. This is what creates a surround sound effect and gives you the feeling of ‘being there’.

This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs, according to your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in Playing sources, starting on page 30.

5 minute guide02

Listening to Surround Sound

This receiver was designed with the easiest possible setup in mind, so with the following quick setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings.

1 Hook up your DVD player.

For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital audio connection from the DVD player to the receiver. You can do this with either a coaxial, or an optical connection (you don’t need to do both). If you hook up using an optical cable, you should refer to Optical digital input setting on page 41 to assign the optical input to DVD.

Use a video cord to connect the video output on your DVD player to the receiver using the jacks shown below.

2 Hook up your TV.

Use a video cord to connect your receiver to the TV using the jacks as shown below.

Optical cable

Note: If you hook up

using a optical cable, see Optical digital input settings on page 41 to assign the optical input to DVD.

3 Connect your speakers.

A complete setup of eight speakers is shown here (including the subwoofer) but everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.

• If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 37) to large

• When using the speaker on your TV as the center speaker (C), connect the CENTER PREOUT jack on this unit to the audio input jack on your TV. In this case the center speaker shown is unnecessary.

Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet.

Audio/Video cords

Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect the audio/video components and a video cord to connect the monitor TV.

Connect red plugs to R (right), white plugs to L (left), and the yellow plugs to VIDEO.

Be sure to insert completely.

VIDEO

S-video cables

Use S-video cables (not supplied) to get clearer picture reproduction than regular video cords.

Connect from an S-video jack on the rear of the receiver to an S-video jack on the video component you are hooking up.

Be sure to insert completely.

Component video cords

Use component video cords to get the best possible color reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (PB and PR) signals and then output. In this way, interference between the signals is avoided. Connect from the component video jacks on the rear of the receiver to the component video jacks on the video component you are hooking up.

Digital audio coaxial cords/ Optical cables

Commercially available digital audio coaxial cords (standard video cords can also be used) or optical cables (not supplied) are used to connect digital components to this receiver.

Be sure to insert completely.

Digital audio coaxial cord (or standard video cord)

Connecting up03

Connecting digital components

The easiest way to hook up this receiver for surround sound is to use a digital input. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial output from the component to coaxial input on the receiver). The VSX-41 has four digital inputs (two coaxial inputs and two optical inputs). Connect your digital components to the rear panel as shown below. See page 17 to connect the front panel optical input.

There are two digital output jacks which is marked DIGITAL OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.

When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC wall outlet.

If you have an LD player, you need to make special connections to ensure you can play 2 RF format LDs on your system. If this is the case, hook up your DVD/LD or LD player directly to an RF demodulator using both the 2 RF output and either a coaxial or optical digital connection. We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks as well. Make sure the RF demodulator digital in switch is set correctly (optical or coaxial depending on the connection). See the component's instruction manual if you are unsure about its input and output jacks.

Connecting up

Connecting audio components

To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks. For components you want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver (a set of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs), but for components that only play, you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs. You must also hook up your digital components to analog audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog components. See the previous page for more on digital connections.

When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC wall outlet.

• The multichannel input can only be used when DVD 7.1 CH is selected (see page 35).

• If the component you are connecting only has one surround back channel output, change the

Surround back channel input setting (page 40) to SB 1ch IN.

Connecting video components

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. With digital video components (like a DVD player), you must use one of the connections shown on the next page for the video signal, but in order to hear a digital source (like a DVD) you should hook up the audio to a digital input (see page 14). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections (see page 15).

For better quality video, you can hook up using the component video jacks or the S-video jacks (quality descends in this order) on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks (see the second illustration of the following page). Make sure they are connected to the video component using the same kind of connection. However, you don’t need to make more than one type of video connection.

When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC wall outlet.

(+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (see illustration on page 10).

• If you select subwoofer (SB SUBWF) in the Surround back speaker setting (see page 37) you can

hook up a subwoofer instead of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals. Connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (see illustration on page 10).

Speaker terminals

1 Twist exposed wire strands together.

2 Loosen speaker terminal and insert exposed wire.

3 Tighten terminal.

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure. Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.

3/8 in. (10 mm)

The speaker terminals also accept single banana plugs. (Refer to speaker manual for details.)

A and B speaker systems

The receiver has two speaker systems: A and B. A is the main system supporting the full speaker setup. If you switch on both A and B speaker systems, only the front speakers and the subwoofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center, surround, or surround back speakers, but multichannel sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if you choose just the B system you‘ll only hear the front speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources will be down-mixed to these two speakers.

Hints on speaker placement

Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers (below), but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them.

• Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.

• When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move

the speakers farther away from the TV.

Connecting up

• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

• If possible, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

• Try not to place the surround speakers further away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

• To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

Introduction to Sound Modes

There are three basic sound options: Stereo/ Direct, Standard or Advanced Surround.

Stereo/Direct

When you select STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.

In STEREO, you’ll hear the audio with your surround settings and you can still use the Midnight, Loudness, and Tone control functions.

With DIRECT, you will bypass all effects and surround settings so that the audio remains as close to the source audio signal as possible.

If you switch on Midnight listening, Loudness, or the Tone controls when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.

Standard mode

The standard mode can be used to decode Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround sources. The other surround sound options (next column) can add multichannel sound to regular stereo sources. If you play a Dolby Digital or DTS source the receiver will change to that mode automatically.

You can identify Dolby Digital software by the 1 or marks. Most Dolby

Surround software is marked 3, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround. Depending on the source, the 6.1 channel setting (page 38), and the sound mode you have selected, you may not get sound from

the surround back speakers in your setup. For more on this, refer to the table on the next page.

Choose one of the following to add depth to a 2 channel source:

Pro Logic

This mode gives 4.1 channel surround sound. It is less sensitive to the quality of the source material, so may be useful when Pro Logic II Movie/ Music modes don’t give good results.

Pro Logic II Movie

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound. It is suitable for movies, especially those recorded in Dolby Surround. The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to Dolby Digital 5.1.

Pro Logic II Music

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The surround effect is more enveloping than Pro Logic II Movie.

Neo:6 Cinema

This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for movies. The Neo:6 Cinema mode delivers good channel separation for movie soundtracks.

Neo:6 Music

This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The Neo:6 Music mode plays the stereo source as is through the front left/right speakers, and generates a natural, ambient surround and center sound.

Playing sources

Advanced Surround modes

These are designed to be used with multichannel surround sound audio/video sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

Depending on the source, the 6.1 channel setting (page 40), and the sound mode you have selected, you may not get sound from the surround back speakers in your setup. For more on this, refer to the table below.

Movie

Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for watching movies.

Music

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources.

Virtual Surround Back (VIRTL SB)

The Virtual Surround Back effect simulates 7.1 surround channel listening (like Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS–EX), giving the impression that there are two surround back speakers in your system when listening to a 5.1 channel source.

Expanded

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources, and lets you hear twochannel (stereo) signals as simulated multichannel surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the Standard modes.

This can be selected to give multichannel sound to a stereo source, using all of the speakers in your setup.

Using Re-Equalization

Re-equalization compensates for the effect of reproducing sounds in a smaller room that have been originally processed for a large movie theatre that can handle lots of high frequencies. Both the front and the center channels were originally mixed to give normal sound behind a heavy projection screen, and might sound unnaturally bright with a home theater setup. Use the Re-equalization feature to even out the sound if you feel that movie soundtracks are sounding slightly harsh.

• Press the Re-EQ button on the front panel.

Speaker setting

• Default setting: S (all speakers)

You must let the receiver know how many speakers you have, and how big they are. The size you choose (large or small) determines how much bass is sent from the receiver to the speakers.

In the display, F, C, and S refer to front, center, and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is denoted as L for large speakers, S for small speakers, and (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.

Surround back speaker setting

• Default setting: S

You must let the receiver know if surround back speaker(s) have been connected, and how big they are. The size you choose (large or small) determines how much bass is sent from the receiver to the speakers. If you have connected a surround back subwoofer, you should select the surround back subwoofer setting (SB SUBWF) from the options. Choose (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.

• Use ’ or ‘ to select SB L, SB S, SB or SB SUBWF.

Setting up the receiver06

6.1 channel setting

• Default setting: 6.1 FIX

You can have the receiver automatically switch to Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (6.1 AUTO), or you can choose to listen to other kinds of sources (for example, 5.1 encoded material) with 6.1 encoding (6.1 FIX). With 5.1 encoded sources, a surround back channel will be generated, but the material may sound better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally encoded.

• Use ’ or ‘ to select 6.1 FIX or 6.1 AUTO.

• If you chose SB in Surround back speaker setting (above), you can’t set the

6.1 channel setting and shows in the display.

• Refer to the table on page 31 to see how the 6.1 channel setting affects sound output from the surround back speakers.

Subwoofer setting

• Default setting: ON

You can choose whether the subwoofer is used or not. Use the plus (PLS) setting for extra bass.

• Use ’ or ‘ to select subwoofer ON, PLS or OFF.

Crossover frequency setting

• Default setting: 100 Hz

Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between the speakers. Since most smaller speakers can’t handle deep bass tones, you can send these sounds to the subwoofer (or if you don’t have a subwoofer, the large (L) speakers in your system) instead of the speakers set to small (S) in your setup. Choose the point at which you want the frequency routed to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if your S speakers are smaller bookshelf-type speakers.

• Use ’ or ‘ to specify the crossover frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz, 150 Hz or 200 Hz).

100Hz 150Hz

200Hz

100 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz

to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

150 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz

to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

200 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz

to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

• If you chose the small front speaker setting, SUBWF ON is automatically set and locked.

• When you select the plus setting, you will get the bass sounds from the subwoofer even if the front speakers are set to L.

If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to L, the crossover frequency can’t be set because there are no S speakers ( appears in the display).

Setting up the receiver

LFE attenuator setting

• Default setting: 0 dB

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.

• Use ’ or ‘ to set the attenuation level (0 dB, 10 dB or dB(∞)).

0 dB 10 dB

∞

(displays )

When ∞ is selected ( appears in the display), LFE is not available.

When C is selected in the speaker setting, the center speaker distance can’t be set.

Surround speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 10 ft.

Like the center speaker, you should set the distance of the surround speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both front and surround speakers at the same time.

• Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the surround speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).

Front speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 10 ft.

Sets the distance from the front speakers to the listening position.

• Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the front speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).

Center speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 10 ft.

The center speaker is normally placed directly in the front of the listening room and closer to the listening position than the front speakers. This means that the sound from the center speaker will be heard before the front speakers. To prevent this, set the center speaker distance setting to delay the sound from the center speaker so that the sound from the front and center speakers will be heard at the same time.

• Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the center speaker from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).

When S is selected in the speaker setting, the surround speaker distance can’t be set.

Surround back speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 10 ft.

Like the center speaker, you should set the distance of the surround speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both front and surround speakers at the same time.

• Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the surround speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).

When SB is selected in the surround speaker setting, the surround back speaker distance can’t be set.

Setting up the receiver06

Dynamic range control setting

• Default setting: OFF

Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. With this setting, you can compress the dynamic range, so that low level sounds can be heard more easily (sounding relatively louder) yet louder sounds won’t be too overbearing.

• Press ’ or ‘ to set the dynamic range control (OFF, MAX, or MID).

• When the volume level is increased, set to OFF.

• When listening at low volumes, set to MAX for maximum dynamic range compression.

• Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby Digital signal is being played back.

Dual mono setting

• Default setting: ch1

The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital discs with dual mono encoding. These discs are not widely used, but are sometimes used when it is necessary to have one language on one channel and a different language on the other. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to.

You will hear the channel you have selected (either ch1 or ch2) through your center speaker. If you don’t have a center speaker, you will hear the channel you have selected through both front speakers. In the L ch 1. R ch 2 setting, the left front speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play channel 2.

• Use ’ or ‘ to cycle through the possible dual mono settings.

Making an audio or a video recording

You can make an audio or a video recording from the built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).

Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the components you are recording to/from are hooked up in the same way (see pages 13– 19 for more on connections).

If you want to record a video source, you also need use the same type of connection for the source as for the recorder. For example, you can’t record a component hooked up to S-video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the component video outputs (see page 17 for more on video connections).

The receiver's volume, balance, tone (bass, treble, loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

1 Select the source you want to record.

Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons on the remote (or MULTI JOG/INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel).

4 Prepare the recorder.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording device and set the recording levels.

Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set the audio recording level automatically—check the component’s instruction manual if you’re unsure.

5 Start recording, then start playback of the source component.

2 Select the input signal (if necessary).

Press SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT) to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (see page 32 for more on this).

3 Prepare the source you want to record.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

Monitoring your recording

You can listen to (monitor) the recording as it's being made using the MONITOR button on the front panel (a cassette deck would have to have a record monitor function).

• Press the MONITOR button to switch between the recorded signal and the original source signal.

Setting the remote to control other components

There are several ways to set your remote to control the other components in your system. The easiest way to do this is to assign the component’s manufacturer preset code (listed on page 55) to one of the MULTI CONTROL buttons on the remote control.

The buttons can be set to control the following components:

Button

DVD: TV: VCR: CD: CD-R:

TVC: TUN:

You can do this directly, or by searching through different preset codes until you find the right one. If you can’t find a preset code that matches the component you want to control, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (page 49–50).

Controllable Components

DVD or LD player TV or Satellite tuner VCR or Digital Video Recorder CD player CD Recorder, Tape deck or MD player TV or Cable TV tuner FM/AM tuner

Selecting preset codes directly

digit preset code (see pages 55–66)

The LCD display shows the code as you enter it. If you make a mistake press the } button to go back one digit. The display shows OK once you have entered a valid code. If it’s an invalid code or an error has occurred, ERROR shows in the display.

You can cancel or exit any of the steps by pressing and holding MUTE for three seconds.

If you get an error message, check the preset code list and try again. If you can’t find or properly enter a preset code, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (page 49).

• If you assign a preset code for the TUNER button, you won’t be able to control the builtin tuner of this receiver using the remote. Reset the remote to the built-in tuner by entering the preset code 7008.

5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other

components you want to control.

Controlling the rest of your system

Setting Up Using Full Library Search

An alternative method of setting up the remote with preset codes is to use the Library Search feature. The remote transmits batches of 10 codes; when you see the component you want to control respond (by turning on or off) you just scan through those last 10 codes until you find the correct one.
