Other speaker connection

• Your favorite speaker connections can be selected even if you have fewer than 5.1 speakers.

• When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be damaged.)

• After connecting, be sure to conduct

the Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.

See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 31.

Placing the speakers

Refer to the chart below for placement of speakers you intend to connect.

• Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t use the front height speakers, we recommend placing the surround speaker right beside you.

• If you intend to connect only one surround back speakers, place it directly behind you.

• Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter directly above the left and right front speakers.

Some tips for improving sound quality

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from the TV.

• If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV.

• If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.

• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.

• It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.

• Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) higher than your ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback.

• If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 40).

Connecting your equipment03

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

CAUTION

• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

Important

• The Speaker System setting must be set if the above connections are performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround back speaker or speaker B is connected, and Height if the front height speaker is connected (see The Speaker System setting on page 49).

Connecting the speakers

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 for surround sound.

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

You can use the speakers connected to the front height (B speaker) terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. See Switching the speaker terminal on page 20 for the listening options with this setup.

You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

Digital audio cables

Commercially available coaxial digital audio cables or optical cables should be used to connect digital components to this receiver.

Video cables

Standard RCA video cables

These cables are the most common type of video connection and are used to connect to the composite video terminals. The yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.

tandard RCA video cable

Component video cables

Use component video cables 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 (P

R) signals and then output. In this way,

interference between the signals is avoided.

About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video sources are output from HDMI OUT terminal. The only exception is HDMI: since this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI video outputs when connecting this video source.

If several video components are assigned to the same input function, the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).

1 • If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that

some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, try switching Video Converter OFF (see Video Converter on page 50).

• The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/576i, 480p/

576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signal cannot be converted.

Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video. A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.

• If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you’ve connected.

This only needs to be done if you didn’t connect according to the following defaults:

• COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1 – BD

• COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2 – DVD

See The Input Assign menu on page 48 for more on this.

• For the audio connection, refer to

Basic Setup

Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)

The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.

CAUTION

• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.

Important

• The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing speaker settings you’ve made.

• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the iPod USB function should not be selected as an input source.

• When both the surround back speaker and the front height speaker are connected, conduct Auto MCACC setup twice: once with the Speaker System setting is in ‘Surr.Back’ and once with the Speaker System setting is in ‘Height’. (There is no need to conduct Auto MCACC Setup every time the Speaker System setting is changed.)

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 1 to 3 minutes.

9 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! You return to the System Setup menu.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using the System Setup menu (starting on page 44).

Other problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup

If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC Setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. If there are any instructions showing in the front panel display, please follow them.

• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV when doing the Auto MCACC Setup.

1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches)

will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Speaker Setting on page 45.

• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

Listening to your system05

Note

Chapter 5:

Listening to your system

Important

• The listening modes and many features described in this section may not be available depending on the current source, settings and status of the receiver.

Basic playback

Here are the basic instructions for playing a source (such as a DVD disc) with your home theater system.

It is possible to check on the front panel display whether or not surround sound playback is being performed properly.

When using a surround back speaker, 2D+PLIIx is displayed when playing Dolby Digital 5.1-channel signals, and DTS+NEO:6 is displayed when playing DTS 5.1-channel signals.

When not using a surround back speaker, 2D is displayed when playing Dolby Digital signals.

If the display does not correspond to the input signal and listening mode, check the connections and settings.

4 Use the volume control to adjust the volume level.

Turn down the volume of your TV so that all sound is coming from the speakers connected to this receiver.

1 Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver (for example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO jacks on

your TV, make sure that the VIDEO input is now selected). 2 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 43). 3 • You may need to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player or digital satellite receiver. It should be set to

output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2 kHz / 96 kHz PCM (2 channel) audio, and if there is an MPEG audio option, set this to convert

the MPEG audio to PCM.

• Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case, the

receiver must be set to a multichannel listening mode if you want multichannel surround sound.

Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the compression process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.

Better sound using Phase Control

This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses phase correction measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/or coloring of the sound (see illustration below).

During multichannel playback, LFE (LowFrequency Effects) signals as well as lowfrequency signals in each channel are assigned to the subwoofer or other the subwoofer and the most appropriate speaker. At least in theory, however, this type of processing involves a group delay that varies with frequency, resulting in phase distortion where the low-frequency sound is delayed or muffled by the conflict with other channels. With the Phase Control mode switched on, this receiver can reproduce powerful bass sound without deteriorating the quality of the original sound (see illustration below).

Listening with Acoustic Calibration EQ

You can listen to sources using the Acoustic Calibration Equalization set in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 31. Refer to these pages for more on Acoustic Calibration Equalization.

Using surround back channel processing

You can have the receiver automatically use

6.1 or 7.1 decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use 6.1 or 7.1 decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded material). 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 (in which case, you can simply switch surround back channel processing off).

• With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that have undergone matrix decoding processing through surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix function is added are output from the surround back speakers.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

• SB ON –

RECEIVER

Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is turned on.

1 Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’, they crest

and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough (as shown in the upper section of the diagram above) then the sound will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.

• If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually feel when PHASE CONTROL is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer to maximize the effect. It is also recommended you try changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.

• Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to OFF. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a higher value.

• If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a maximized PHASE CONTROL effect.

• The PHASE CONTROL mode cannot be set to ON in the following cases: – When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on. – When the headphones are connected.

2 You can’t use Acoustic Calibration EQ with Stream Direct mode and it has no effect with headphones.

Setting the Up Mix function

In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the surround sound of

5.1-channel sources is heard from the side. The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround speakers with the surround back speakers so that the surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it should be.

• Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as recommended in the example on page 17.

• Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to OFF.

1 Switch the receiver into standby.

Select LARGE if your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround back speakers choose NO.

• Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from other speakers).

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Tip

• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.

1 If the surround speakers are set to NO, the front height speakers will automatically be set to NO. 2 • If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.

Using the tuner

Listening to the radio

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for recall later— see Saving station presets below for more on how to do this.

Automatic tuning

To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold TUNE / for about a second. The receiver will start searching for the next station, stopping when it has found one. Repeat to search for other stations.

Manual tuning

To change the frequency one step at a time, press TUNE /.

High speed tuning

Press and hold TUNE / for high speed tuning. Release the button at the frequency you want.

Improving FM stereo sound

If the TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press the BAND button to select FM MONO and set the receiver to the mono reception mode. This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can memorize up to 30 stations.

Note

Chapter 8:

Making recordings

1 Select the source you want to record.

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 Connecting your equipment on page 16 for more on connections).

If you want to record a video source, you also need to use the same type of connection for the source as for the recorder. For example, you can’t record a component hooked up to composite video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the component video outputs (see page 28 for more on video connections).

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how 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.

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.

o 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.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will

provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since

hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Cleaning the unit

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

• When the surface is dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleansers.

• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surface.

forma, pueden tener tensiones diferentes. No mezcle pilas de distinto tipo.

• Cuando se deshaga de las pilas usadas, asegúrese de respetar las disposiciones gubernamentales o las normas de las instituciones medioambientales públicas que rigen en su país o región.

• No use ni guarde pilas en lugares expuestas a la luz solar directa o en lugares con un calor excesivo, como el interior de un coche o cerca de un calefactor. Esto puede provocar fugas en las pilas, sobrecalentamiento, explosiones o incendios. También puede reducir la vida o el rendimiento de las mismas.

Las pilas suministradas con este equipo le permitirán comprobar las operaciones iniciales, pero no durarán mucho tiempo. Se recomienda utilizar pilas alcalinas de larga duración.

PRECAUCIÓN

El uso incorrecto de las pilas puede provocar situaciones peligrosas tales como fugas y explosiones. Tenga en cuenta las siguientes precauciones:

• Nunca utilice pilas nuevas y usadas al mismo tiempo.

• Instale las pilas correctamente, haciendo coincidir los polos positivo y negativo de las mismas con las marcas de polaridad impresas en el compartimiento de las pilas.

Instalación del receptor

• Cuando instale el equipo, asegúrese de colocarlo sobre una superficie nivelada y estable.

No lo instale en los lugares siguientes: – sobre un televisor en color (la imagen podría

distorsionarse en la pantalla) – cerca de una platina de casete (o cerca de

dispositivos que generen campos magnéticos). Esto podría interferir con el sonido.

– bajo la luz directa del sol – en lugares húmedos o mojados – en lugares extremadamente calurosos o fríos – en lugares que sean objeto de vibraciones u

otros movimientos – en lugares donde haya mucho polvo – en lugares donde haya vapores o aceites

calientes (p. ej., en un cocina)

Determinación de la aplicación de los altavoces

Esta unidad le permite diseñar varios sistemas de sonido envolvente, según el número de altavoces que tenga.

• Asegúrese de conectar los altavoces a los canales delanteros izquierdo y derecho (L y R).

Seleccione el Plan [A] o el Plan [B] que se indica a continuación.

[A] Sistema de sonido envolvente de 7.1 canales (envolvente trasero) y conexión de Speaker B

delantero con efectos de altura o por el altavoz trasero envolvente, según el altavoz que se haya seleccionado en la configuración del Speaker System (consulte El ajuste de Speaker System en la página 49).

Conexión de otros altavoces

• Aunque se disponga de menos de 5.1 altavoces, también es posible seleccionar las conexiones de altavoces favoritas.

• Cuando no conecte un subwoofer, conecte altavoces con capacidad de reproducción de baja frecuencia al canal delantero. (El componente de baja frecuencia del subwoofer se reproduce por los altavoces frontales, por lo que éstos podrían dañarse.)

• Tras la conexión asegúrese de ejecutar el procedimiento Auto MCACC (ajuste del entorno de los altavoces).

Consulte Configuración automática para sonido envolvente (MCACC) en la

página 31.

Disposición de los altavoces

Consulte el diagrama siguiente para a la colocación de los altavoces que desee conectar.

• Coloque los altavoces de sonido envolvente a 120º con respecto al centro. Si (1) utiliza el altavoz de sonido envolvente y (2) no utiliza los altavoces delanteros con efectos de altura, es conveniente que coloque el altavoz de sonido envolvente junto a usted.

• Si prevé conectar sólo un altavoz de sonido envolvente trasero, colóquelo justo detrás de usted.

• Coloque los altavoces delanteros con efectos de altura derecho e izquierdo a 1 metro de distancia, como mínimo, justo encima de los altavoces delanteros derecho e izquierdo.

Algunos consejos para mejorar la calidad del sonido

La disposición de los altavoces en la sala influye de manera importante en la calidad del sonido. Tenga en cuenta las siguientes pautas para obtener el mejor sonido del sistema.

• El subwoofer se puede colocar en el suelo. Lo ideal es que los otros altavoces se sitúen a la altura del oído. No se recomienda colocar los altavoces en el suelo (excepto el subwoofer) ni instalarlos a gran altura en la pared.

• Para optimizar el efecto estéreo, coloque los altavoces delanteros a una distancia de entre 2 m y 3 m el uno del otro y a la misma distancia del televisor.

• Si va a colocar altavoces alrededor de su televisor CRT, utilice altavoces blindados, o colóquelos a suficiente distancia del televisor CRT.

• Si está utilizando un altavoz central, instale los altavoces delanteros a mayor distancia entre sí. En caso contrario, instálelos más cerca el uno del otro.

• Instale el altavoz central arriba o debajo del televisor, de modo que el sonido del canal central quede localizado en la pantalla de TV. Asimismo, asegúrese de que el altavoz central no supere la línea formada por el borde delantero de los altavoces frontales izquierdo y derecho.

• Lo más apropiado es colocar los altavoces en ángulo con respecto a la posición de audición. El ángulo depende del tamaño de la sala. Para salas de grandes dimensiones, utilice un ángulo menor.

• Los altavoces de sonido envolvente y de sonido envolvente trasero se deben colocar a una altura de de entre 60 y 90 cm por encima de los oídos y ligeramente inclinados hacia abajo. Asegúrese de que los altavoces no queden frente a frente. Para DVD-Audio, los altavoces deben situarse más directamente detrás del oyente que para la reproducción de cine en casa.

• Si los altavoces de sonido envolvente no se pueden poner directamente al lado de la posición de escucha con un sistema de 7.1 canales, el efecto de sonido envolvente se podrá mejorar desactivando la función Up Mix (consulte Ajuste de la función Up Mix en la página 40).

• Intente no colocar los altavoces de sonido envolvente muy lejos de la posición de audición con respecto a los altavoces frontales y central. Esta acción podría debilitar el efecto de sonido envolvente.

PRECAUCIÓN

• Asegúrese de que todos los altavoces estén instalados de forma segura. Esto no sólo mejora la calidad del sonido, sino que reduce el riesgo de daños o lesiones si los altavoces se caen como consecuencia de vibraciones externas producidas por terremotos o similares.

Importante

• Si ha efectuado las conexiones anteriores, deberá ajustar la configuración Speaker System. Seleccione Surr.Back si está conectado el altavoz trasero de sonido envolvente o el altavoz B, y Height si está conectado el altavoz delantero con efectos de altura (consulte El ajuste de Speaker System en la página 49).
