CONNECTING TO AUDIO-VISUAL COMPONENTS
If your video component has a S-Video jack included you can make use of it to enjoy enhanced video quality by connecting it to
the relevant S-Video jack at the rear side of the receiver. One video cable is needed for each component. When S-Video cable
is used, composite video (yellow RCA connector) cable must also be connected for VCR recording.
NOTE: Before plugging in the optical cable or S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of the plug and jack, otherwise,
you will not be able to plug in completely.
If you have a SAT receiver, DVD player, or CD player with a digital ouput, you can make use of an optical digital connecting
cord (not supplied) or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby
DigitaI sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or
coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver
provides one optical and one coaxial digital input for the connection of your components. Please connect your components (e.g.
DVD, SAT, or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press FUNCTION and then rotate MULTIJOG to match your connection.
NOTE: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection must also be established for a
SAT receiver and DVD player. S-Video provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video
(yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type of cable (S-Video or composite) that is connected
from the Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theater.
If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. What you need is just one more
optical digital connecting cord (not supplied). Plug it in the digital input jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the receiver
setting (see details on pg.18 chapter “Input Signal Setting”). You can enjoy better sound quality brought to you by the optical
cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still needed for recording to tape output.
NOTE: This receiver has one digital optical jack only. Be sure that such connection does not prevent optical cable connection of
other components (e.g. DVD & SAT)
NOTE: If you have a video
camera, video game
machine, or an extra VCR,
connect it to VCR 2 jack at the
front of the receiver.
Connect components capable of
outputting Dolby Digital (e.g. DVD
or SAT) or standard PCM (CD)
format digital signals. Read
section on “Input Signal Setting”
under “Advanced Sound Control”
carefully to adjust the matching
input settings.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Speakers
You will need to use 6 speakers with the unit (2
front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to
enjoy good surround effects all six speakers need to
be connected to the receiver.
At least two front speakers (left and right) are
required. For better sound quality, center speaker,
rear speakers and subwoofer should also be
connected. Adding center and rear speakers will
enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will
increase bass response.
If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with
small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer
with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.
Speaker cords
1 for each speaker is needed for connection. Twist
the stripped ends of the speaker cord about
2/3”(15mm). Press down on the tab to open the
terminal and insert the wire. Snap the tab closed.
To ease speaker connections, the terminals are color
coded.
• Red/Black (Front Speakers)
• Blue”Black (Center Speaker)
• Grey/Black (Rear Speakers)
Connect the L, R speaker to the red/black terminal
on the receiver. Do the same for the center (with
blue/black terminal), rear speaker (with grey/black
terminal).
Speaker polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the
polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver)
of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the
cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and
will lack bass ("out of phase" effect).
CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER
To connect your own powered subwoofer, a mono
aural audio cord (not supplied) is needed
(RCA terminal).
This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use
a large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For
more information please refer to section "Fine
Setting of the Speakers" in “Advanced Sound
Control" on page 18.

POSITIONING YOUR SPEAKERS
1) Left & Right (Front Speakers)
They carry primary music and sound effects.
2) Center Speaker
In surround mode, the center speaker carries much
of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It
should be set between the left and right speakers.
3) Surround (Rear Speakers)
Their overall sound balance should be as close as
possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is
vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships,
etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement
with the action on the screen. It is therefore
recommended to connect subwoofers when small
speakers are used.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set
must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent
picture distortion.
It is not recommended to place the rear speakers
near the TV set.
FRONT SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Even if you can’t duplicte this ideal home theater
setup exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement
that follow will help you get good results.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly
behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not
ahead of them.
ADVANCED SETTING
Angle
Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45
degree angle with your favorite viewing position
will duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.
Height
The mid and high frequency drivers of the three
front speakers should be as close as possible to the
same height. This often requires placing the center
speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

PREFERRED SOUND PLACEMENT
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of
the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet above
viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.
Aiming
Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not
down at viewers, helps create a more open,
spacious surround soun field.
ADVANCED SURROUND SETTING
ALTERNATIVE SURROUND PLACEMENT
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other, towards the front or even
towards the sidewalls. Experiment with placement
until surround sounds seem to envelop you, rather
than coming from behind you.
No adjacent walls
Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to
approximate the preferred sidewall mounting, or to
the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed
upwards. In the latter case, they can go right on the
floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as
on end tables.
TEST TONE/CHANNEL BALANCE
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal
generator for balancing the channels. As the signal
“travels” from channel to channel, adjust the level
controls until each channel plays at the same
loudness level. (For details see operation of
test/setup)
Level adjustment & surround channel
level expectations
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be
as loud as the others on the test signal, you’ll find
that on actual program material the surround
channel is usually much lower than the front. Don’t
be tempted to readjust the surround level; program
producers use surround mostly for subtle
atmosphereics and ambience, and only rarely for
special effects. A good surround mix doesn’t call
attention to itself; if it did, it would soon become
distracting.
Connecting for power
Make sure you connect all your
other electronic components
and the speakers before
plugging your receiver into the
outlet. Plug the power cord in
the wall outlet, matching the
wide blade of the plug with the
wide slot in the outlet. Be sure
to insert the plug completely.
Using headphones
To listen privately through your
audio system, use the PHONES
jack on the receiver. However,
make sure you turn down the
volume before you put on
the headphones. Increase the
volume to the desired level
after headphones are in place.

SOUND ENHANCEMENT SYSTEMS
This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound
enhancement systems.
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like
surround sound from Dolby-encoded software. The
Pro Logic mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the
Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio
signals and uses all 5 speakers and an optional
subwoofer to play decoded Dolby Pro Logic
program sources such as a TV and VCR.
ATTENTION: To play Dolby Pro Logic, you must have 5 speakers
connected.
The 3-Stereo mode will redirect the surround
signals to the front left and right speakers when only
the front and center speakers are used
.
ATTENTION: To play 3-Stereo, you must have 3 speakers connected.
Use this mode to suit your speaker system
configurations (such as size and number of
speakers) and type of program (such as VCR).
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital
surround from software processed in the Dolby
Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound
quality and more powerful presence than
conventional Dolby Surround.
This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround
sound. Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in
which only four channels ( Front Left, Front Right,
Centre and Rear) are used, the new system
provides stereo separation of the rear speakers
(Rear-Right, Rear-Left). These 5 channels, together
with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds
(counted as .1 channel), constitute as 5.1-Channel (
or 6 Channels ) input for Dolby Digital that brings
you the most sophisticated sound enjoyment.
ATTENTION: To play Dolby Digital 5.1, you must connect the DVD to
your receiver with digital signal (Coaxial or Optical) + the sound
source (DVD software) must be 5.1 encoded.
Recording Dolby Digital Source
To record from a digital (Optical or Coaxial) input
using a VCR/Tape that is connected to the receiver,
the sound must be set to stereo first. Press SURR.
MODE to select stereo mode.
If the receiver is set to 5.1 sound information
recording from surround speakers, the center
speaker will not be recorded.

Stereo
The stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs
from the front of the speakers. Use this mode if you
have connected the front speakers only.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a
real environment such as Stadium, Concert, Theater,
Arena, Church, Club. DSP automatically converts
analog audio signals to digital ones which enables
you to adjust the sound without degrading the
sound quality. Different modes will give you
different feel of size and type of listening
environment. (Not available in Dolby Digital (DVD)
or during Digital input).
Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Compression technology,
you can enjoy enhanced sound quality by Dolby
Digital at night without interrupting your roommates
or neighbors. While enjoying a Dolby Digital
enabled component (DVD, SAT), you can activate
NIGHT MODE by pressing the NIGHT button on the
front of the receiver and this mode will compress the
difference in volume between normal voices and
sounds like explosions.
ATTENTION: Night Mode can be functioned only during Dolby
Digital 5.1 playback.
FINE SETTING OF THE COMPONENTS
The receiver has pre-selected the best surround
mode for you once you turn on the unit by pressing
the SOURCE Buttons (like DVD, SAT, CD) directly.
If you decide to change the surround mode, you can
press the SURR. MODE button repeatedly to toggle
among the different surround mode choices and
select the one you want.
ATTENTION: To play Doby Digital 5.1, you must connect the DVD to
your receiver with a digital signal (Coaxial or Optical) + the sound
source (DVD software) must be 5.1 encoded.
Dolby Pro Logic Dolby Digital 5.1 3-Stereo Stereo
Input Signal Setting
The receiver defaults to the most convenient settings
for your easiest use (see table).
If your connection is different from the default
setting:
1) Select the source
2) Press MODE/SET
3) Rotate MULTI JOG to toggle among
Optical/Coaxial/Analog to match your connection.
Your selection will be stored automatically.
Every time you press the source button, the input
setting (e.g. DVD/OPTI) will be shown on the
display for a few seconds.
Digital Input
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD,
CD, LD player, SAT or TV.
NOTE:
Digital input is only available for DVD, SAT, C D
and TV.

automatically switch to the proper surround mode
and indicates on the speaker icons on the right
hand side of the display.
It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby
Digital sources are encoded with full complement of
5 channels plus LFE*. Speaker icons show how
many and which speakers you have enabled and
the letters inside the speaker icons show which
channel is present in the source information.
*LFE stans for Low Frequency Effect. The indication “LFE”
appears if the digital source contains LFE information. In this
case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer,
offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects. If the letter is
flashing, the signal is either too weak or just gone.
