2. CONNECTING VIDEO COMPONENTS
• There are three types of video jacks(COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, (composite) VIDEO) for connecting video components. Connect them to the corresponding video jacks according to their capability.
• For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows : “COMPONENT” > “S-VIDEO” > “(composite) VIDEO”.
• When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y” to “Y”, “PB/CB” to “C
B”(or “B-Y”, “PB
”) and “PR/CR” to “CR”(or “R-
Y”, “P
R
” ).
• When connecting to video recording component such as video deck, DVD recorder, etc., you must use the same type of video jacks that you did connect to video playback components such as DVD player, LD player, etc.
• This unit is equipped with a function that up-converts composite video or S-Video signals to component video signals or down­converts S-Video signals to composite video signals and outputs them from the MONITOR OUTs. Because of this, one of three types of MONITOR OUT jacks can be connected to the monitor TV regardless of how the video components are connected to VIDEO IN jacks of this unit.
• Connect the video components, referring to the following table.
󱇲
Relationship between the video input signal and video output signal
󱇲 Notes :
• In such a case of making only COMPONENT VIDEO connections between this receiver and video component, while viewing a movie via MONITOR COMPONENT OUTs, if the OSD menu operation is performed with the OSD, CURSOR control(▲, ▼, , ), ENTER buttons, etc., the picture is automatically turned off and only the OSD menu is displayed.
• When S-Video signals and composite video signals are input into this receiver, even though the OSD menu operation is performed, the OSD menu cannot be displayed via MONITOR COMPOSITE OUT.
• When Sherwood DVD player such as V-768, etc. is connected to the DIGI-LINK jack for system control, you should connect the DVD player to the “ VIDEO 2” jacks of this unit. Because, if the PLAY button, etc. is pressed on the DVD player, the VIDEO 2 is automatically selected as an input source on this unit. Then playback, etc. starts.

6. CONNECTING SYSTEM CONTROL
• Connect this jack to the DIGI LINK jack of the external Sherwood component that uses the DIGI LINK II or III remote control system.
7. SUBWOOFER PREOUT connection
• To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered subwoofer.
8. CONNECTING SPEAKERS
• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+ and -). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
• For installing the speakers, refer to “Speaker placement” on page 8.
• After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout.(For details, refer to “Speaker Setup” on page 18.)
Caution :
• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms or above.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.
Page 9
8
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows :
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.
• Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers
and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the main listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
Surround back speaker
• Place the surround back speaker at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.
• We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.
Subwoofer
• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
Notes :
• When using a conventional TV , to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center speakers.
• To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.

Speaker Setup
󱇲
About the speaker size
The composition of the signals output from the different channels and the frequency response are adjusted automatically according to the combination of speakers actually being used.
• Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode and below) signals.
Large : Select this when connecting speakers that can fully reproduce
sounds below crossover frequency(*) of your speaker.
Small : Select this when connecting speakers that cannot fully
reproduce sounds below crossover frequency. When this setting is selected, sounds below crossover frequency are sent to the subwoofer or speakers which are set to “Large”(when not using a subwoofer).
None : Select this when no speakers are connected.
When this is selected, sounds are sent to the speakers which are not set to None.
Yes / None : Select the desired depending on whether a subwoofer is
connected or not.
• (*) : Crossover frequency is the frequency (Hz) below which the bass
sound of each main speakers is to output from the subwoofer or from speakers which are set to “Large” (when not using a subwoofer).
• Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers to be connected. If the frequency range of your speaker is 100 Hz ~ 20 kHz, the crossover frequency have to be set to 100 Hz(or slightly higher).
• If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.
󱇲
About the speaker distance
When enjoying multi-channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, etc., it is ideal that the center and surround speakers, etc. should be the same distance from the main listening position as the front speakers. By entering the distance between the listening position and each speaker, the delay times of center and surround speakers are automatically adjusted to create an ideal listening environment virtually as if the center and surround speakers were at their ideal locations respectively as below:
• After you have installed this receiver and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings
for the optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.
• Even when you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of your listening environment, you should

DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi­channel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates. Discs bearing the “ ” include the recording of
up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can be generally thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio compression required. It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting in magnificent sound.
DTS - ES Extended Surround™ ( )
This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly improves the 360- degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals, offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format. In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the surround back (sometimes also referred to as “surround center”) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods as follows:
• DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1
Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround back channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic image are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed to the surround left and surround right channels so that none of the signal components are lost.
• DTS - ES™ Matrix 6.1
With this format, the additional surround back channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and surround right channels beforehand. During playback, they are decoded to the surround left, surround right and surround back channels. Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel signal sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 ­channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder. When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are decoded with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum surround mode is selected. However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix mode should be selected manually to play these sources.
󱇲
DTS Neo : 6™ surround
This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1­channel surround playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.
• DTS Neo : 6 Cinema
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with
6.1-channel sources.
• DTS Neo : 6 Music
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals from the center, surround left, surround right and surround back channels adds a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.
DTS 96/24
Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency. With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz. In addition, this format has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96kHz / 24 bit PCM signals. As with conventional DTS surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels. DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 sources can be played using a conventional DTS
5.1 channel decoder.

Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the
“ ” includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of
digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.
Dolby Digital EX
This mode creates the back (sometimes also referred to as “surround center”) signals from the surround left and right signals in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel source using a matrix decoder and provides 6.1 channel surround playback. For the best results, this mode should be selected during playback of sources(bearing the “ ”) recorded in Dolby Digital
EX. With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially. When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby Digital EX decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected. However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected as Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX mode should be selected manually to play these sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround
Dolby Pro Logic IIx decodes all stereo (2 channel ) and 5.1 channel sources and extends to 7.1channel surround playback. It delivers the most natural, full range and immersing 7.1 channel listening experience. Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround includes two modes as follows :
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie
When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects.
Dolby Pro Logic II surround
This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals, etc. to surround processing to offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie and Dolby Pro Logic II Music like Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
This mode creates a virtual surround sound field using as few as two front speakers, allowing you to experience listening from 5.1 channel speakers. This mode is effective not only for 5.1 channel sources but also for stereo(2 channel) sources. Dolby VIrtual Speaker includes two listening mode as follows:
• Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference
The width of the front sound image is defined by the actual distance between front speakers.
• Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide
The width of the front sound image seems to extend beyond the front speakers.
Dolby Headphone
The Dolby Headphone function simulates 5.1 channel surround sound, which allows you to enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound through 2 channel headphones, just like listening from 5.1 channel speakers. This mode is effective not only for 5.1 channel sources but also for stereo(2 channel) sources.
