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 10.

• After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings
according to your environment and speaker layout.(For
details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER / ROOM EQ
SETUP" on page 43.)

Surround back speakers

• When using only one surround back speaker, you should
connect it to SURROUND BACK/ROOM 2 LEFT channel.

• If you assign the power amplifier for the surround back/
room 2 channels to the ROOM 2, this unit can drive the
speakers in another room (ROOM 2).
(For details, refer to "CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTs" on

page 11 and "When selecting the AMP ASSIGN" on page

37.)

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.

ENGLISH

10

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 left and right speakers

• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing
the front at a narrower distance than front speakers.

• When using a single surround back speaker, place it
at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher
position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.

• We recommend installing the surround back
speaker(s) 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 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.

control only, it is not sufficient for drive capability.

• When making DC TRIGGER connection, you should
use the stereo mini cord, not a mono mini cord.

10. CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTs

• ROOM 2 playback feature allows you to play a different program source in another room as well as one source in the main
room at the same time.

• For ROOM 2 playback, connect the ROOM 2 OUT jacks to the amplifier, TV, etc. installed in another room, or connect the
SURROUND BACK/ROOM 2 speaker terminals to the speakers.

• When connecting the ROOM 2 /TAPE OUT jacks, you should assign the output to the ROOM 2.
(For details, refer to "When selecting the OUT ASSIGN" on page 37.)

• When connecting the SURROUND BACK/ROOM 2 speaker terminals, you should assign the power amplifier for surround
back/room 2 channels to the ROOM 2. (For details, refer to "When selecting the AMP ASSIGN" on page 37.)

Notes :

• To minimize hum or noise, use high quality connection cords.

• You cannot use the digital audio signal for ROOM 2 playback.

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 6.1-channel
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.

When selecting the AUTO SETUP

• Auto Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. Auto Setup
has the feature that provides the optimum listening environment at two main listening positions in your room, where
there are often multiple listeners viewing programs together.

You should connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information
from a series of test tones emitted from speakers at two main listening positions and can adjust the size, distance,
sound level, crossover frequency and frequency response of each speaker automatically.

For optimum effectiveness, move the microphone from first position to second position within the listening
area surrounded by the speakers while performing the auto setup.

About the first listening position

The first listening position is the point where a listener sits most often or the listening position when only one person is
listening. Measurements start from this point.

• If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the
"When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION" on page 45, "When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE" on page
47, "When selecting the SPEAKER X-OVER" on page 48, "Adjusting each channel level with test tone" on page 26 and
"Adjusting the current channel level" on page 27.

• After the auto setup has been completed, set the room EQ mode as desired. (For details, refer to "When selecting the
ROOM EQ" on page 49.)

Preparations

1. Check that the speakers are securely connected to this

receiver.

crossover frequency, set the volume halfway and set
the crossover frequency to the maximum or the low
pass filter off.

2. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC
jack on the front panel.(For details, refer to "SETUP
MIC JACK" on page 14.)

When setting the speaker size by performing the auto setup.

If the speakers may not be detected properly because of incorrect connection, measurement environment,
or other factors, the speakers are set as follows :

• When a pair of speakers such as front, surround or surround back speakers are detected differently (i.e,
one is detected as "LARGE", the other as "SMALL"), both are automatically set to "SMALL".

• When only one surround speaker is detected, both are automatically set to "NONE".

• When only the surround back right speaker is detected, both are automatically set to "NONE".
In this case, connect that speaker to the SURROUND BACK/ROOM 2 LEFT speaker terminals and retry
the auto setup, then it will be automatically set to "1CH".

Repeat the above steps

and until the speakers are all set to the desired mode.

4

About the speaker size

• 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 on the SPEAKER X-OVER menu)
signals.

• 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.

• When setting the speaker size by performing the auto setup, depending on whether the measured

crossover frequency of each speaker is lower or higher than 80 Hz, its size is automatically set to "LARGE"
or "SMALL". (For details, refer to "When selecting the SPEAKER X-OVER" on page 48.)

About the speaker distance

When enjoying multi-channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, etc., it is ideal that the
center, surround and surround back 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, surround and surround back speakers, etc. are automatically adjusted to create an
ideal listening environment virtually as if the center, surround and surround back speakers, etc.were at their
ideal locations respectively.

About the crossover frequency

• When speakers are set to "SMALL", low frequencies in those channels that are below the crossover
frequency are to output from subwoofer or front 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 should be set to 100 Hz(or slightly higher).

• When speakers are set to "SMALL", be sure to set their crossover frequency correctly according to
their frequency characteristics.

When selecting the ROOM EQ

• The room EQ is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers. According to the acoustic characteristics of
your room measured by the auto setup, the room EQ automatically adjusts the frequency response of
speakers.

• If you use different brands or sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique acoustic
characteristics, such as walls, furniture, and the dimensions or the shape of the room, we recommend
using the room EQ.

Note :

• To use the room EQ, first you should finish measuring the acoustic characteristics of your room
performing the auto setup.

• After adjusting each channel level with test tone, adjust the channel levels either according to the
program sources or to suit your tastes.(For details, refer to "Adjusting each channel level with test tone"
on page 26.)

• The LFE level can be adjusted within the range of

-10 ~ 0 dB and other channel levels within the
range of -15 ~ +15 dB

• In general, we recommend the LFE level to be
adjusted to 0 dB.(However, the recommended LFE
level for some early DTS software is -10 dB.) If the
recommended levels seem too high, lower setting
as necessary.
