9. 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 11.

• 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 55.)

󱇲Front speakers A and B

• This unit allows you to connect two different sets of front speakers and to select either FRONT A or/and B speakers according to your taste.

• However, if you have only a set of front speakers, connect them to either FRONT A or B speaker terminals.

󱇲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 12 and “When selecting the AMP ASSIGN” on page 49.)

Caution :

• For safe amplifier operation, in case of using either front A or front B speakers, use all the speakers with impedance of over 6 ohms. However, in case of using both front A and front B speakers, use only these speakers with impedance of over 12 ohms and other speakers with impedance of over 6 ohms.

• 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 12

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.

■DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel 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. “DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks

■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.

SETTING THE SPEAKER / ROOM EQ SETUP

Place the microphone on a flat level surface at the first main listening position.

• 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 adjust the speaker settings, too.

• When performing the AUTO SETUP procedure, you need not perform the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, SPEAKER DISTANCE, SPEAKER CROSSOVER and CH LEVEL SETUP procedures.

• AUTO SETUP : To set the speaker setup and channel level setup automatically.

• SPEAKER CONFIGURATION : To select the sizes of the speakers that

are connected.

• SPEAKER DISTANCE: To enter the distance between the listening

position and each speaker to set the delay time automatically for optimum surround playback.

• SPEAKER CROSSOVER : To select the desired crossover frequency.

• ROOM EQ : To turn on or off the room EQ.

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 57, "When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE" on page 59, "When selecting the SPEAKER CROSSOVER" on page 60, "Adjusting each channel level with test tone" on page 35 and "Adjusting the current channel level" on page 36.

• 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 61.)

󱇲Preparations

1. Check that the speakers are securely connected

to this receiver.

• If your subwoofer has adjustable volume and 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 16.)

■Notes :

• Because the microphone for Auto Setup is

designed for use with this receiver, to use the auto setup function, do not use a microphone other than the one supplied with this receiver.

• After you have completed the auto setup

procedure, disconnect the microphone.

• If possible, use a tripod, etc. to attach the microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.

• Ensure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
