System Connections

󳢯Please be certain that the receiver is unplugged from the AC outlet before making any connections. 󳢯Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R(right) jacks when making connections. 󳢯Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations. 󳢯A 75Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.

Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.

󳢯Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a direction

for the best reception.

󳢯If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna. 󳢯Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, poor connections can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver. 󳢯If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be lost.

Should this happen, memorize them again.

■■

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates than Dolby Digital. Although both Dolby Digital and DTS are 5.1 channel formats, discs bearing the “ ” are 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 360degree 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 must be selected manually to play these sources.

󳢯In DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS -ES Matrix 6.1 sources, the surround

back channel is monaural, but can be played through a single(in 6.1 mode) or two surround back speakers(in 7.1 mode) depending on the surround back speaker setting. (For details, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP” on page 38.)

󳥎󳥎

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 Movie

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.

■■

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 Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel surround format which consists of four channels ( front left, center, front right and surround). Sources bearing the “ ” provide the

theater - like surround sound. The surround channel is monaural, but is played through both surround speakers.

■■

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 two modes as follows:

󳢯Dolby Pro Logic II 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 II MUSIC

When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound

quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects.

■■

Dolby Virtual

This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion of “phantom” speakers, this mode allows you to experience surround sound effects from Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel (recorded in digital PCM or analog stereo) sources, through just a single pair of front 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 the 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 10 inches) 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 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.

ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND

󳢯Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.

Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.

󳥎Note: 󳢯Before surround playback, first perform the SPEAKER SETUP procedure, etc. on the OSD menu for optimum

performance.(For details, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP” on page 38.)

Depending on the input digital signal format, select the desired decoding mode.

󳢯You can select the “DTS”, “DOLBY DIGITAL” or “PCM”

mode directly on the remote control.

󳢯Each time the DECODING MODE button on the front

panel or the AUTO button on the remote control is pressed, the decoding mode changes as follows :

* Auto mode(“ AUTO” lights up) : The input digital signal

format (DTS, Dolby Digital, MPEG or PCM ( 2 channel stereo), etc.) used by the selected digital input source is detected automatically to perform the necessary decoding process for optimum surround modes.

* Dolby Digital mode(“DOLBY DIGITAL” lights up) : The

Dolby Digital signal processing is performed only when Dolby Digital signals are input.

* DTS mode(“ DTS” lights up) : The DTS signal processing

is performed only when DTS signals are input.

* MPEG mode(“MPEG” lights up) : The MPEG signal

processing is performed only when MPEG signals are input.

* PCM mode(“PCM” lights up) : The PCM signal processing

is performed only when PCM signals are input.

* When Dolby Digital signals are input in the auto or Dolby Digital mode, the following modes can be selected.

→ DOLBY DIGITAL (↔ DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MOVIE ↔ DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MUSIC ↔ DOLBY PRO LOGIC) ↔ DOLBY VIRTUAL ←

Only when Dolby Digital 2.0 channel signals are input, the surround modes in ( ) can be selected, too.

* When PCM (2 channel stereo) signals are input in the auto or PCM mode, the following modes can be selected.

→ DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MOVIE ↔ DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MUSIC ↔ DOLBY PRO LOGIC ↔ DOLBY VIRTUAL ↔ DTS NEO MOVIE ↔ DTS NEO MUSIC ← → MATRIX ↔ GAME ↔ ARENA 2 ↔ ARENA 1 ↔ CLUB 2 ↔ CLUB 1 ↔ CHURCH ↔ STADIUM ↔ HALL 2 ↔ HALL 1↔ MOVIE ↔ THEATER ←

󳢯When the analog input is selected as signal input and analog stereo signals are input, you can select the same surround

modes as those listed for the PCM input.

󳢯However, when DTS or MPEG signals are input in the following decoding modes, the corresponding surround mode will be

automatically selected regardless of using the MULTI CONTROL knob or DSP MODE button:

* When DTS signals are input in the auto or DTS mode, the corresponding DTS mode will be selected. * When MPEG signals are input in the auto or MPEG mode, MPEG mode will be selected.

■Notes: 󳢯When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input flickers,

meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.

󳢯When the 7.1 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, the surround mode cannot be selected. 󳢯When the source direct function is activated, the decoding mode and surround mode cannot be selected.

■Notes : 󳢯Only when the digital input is selected as signal input for the

input sources except PHONO, TUNER and AUX, the decoding mode can be selected.

󳢯Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and

while searching during DTS playback in the auto mode. To minimize this possibility try playing in the DTS mode.

CURRENT STATUS DISPLAY

This mode shows the status corresponding to each operation.

󳢯The on-screen display will automatically disappear in 5 seconds. 󳢯For examples, there are 2 status displays as follows.

■Note : 󳢯When watching a movie earnestly, if you want to turn off the current status display function, set the

OSD mode to Off.(For details, refer to “When selecting the OSD MODE” on page 44.)

󳥎When selecting the desired input source. 󳥎When selecting the TEST TONE mode.

This unit incorporates an OSD(On-screen display) function to provide information about basic operation of this unit and to simplify the setup procedures. The OSD function uses a monitor TV connected to this unit as a display and has two kinds of display modes such as current status display and menu screen.

■Notes: 󳢯The OSD function is not available via the component video connection. 󳢯Any on-screen display shown on the monitor TV will not be recorded onto VIDEO 1.

󳢯The OSD menu allows you to perform the setup procedures easily. In most situations, you will only need to set this

once during the installation and layout of your home theater, and it rarely needs to be changed later. The OSD menu consists of 6 main menus: power amp assign, speaker setup, function select, surround setup, CH level trim and room 2 feed setup. Some of these menus are divided up into various sub-menus.

󳢯The OSD menu settings are performed easily with the CURSOR control(▲, ▼, ◀, ▶), ON-SCREEN DISPLAY,

RETURN and ENTER buttons.

󳢯The “3”, “7”, “8” and “9” of the NUMERIC buttons do also work as the CURSOR control(▲, ▼, ◀, ▶)buttons do. In

this case, the “3” button stands for the CURSOR UP(▲) button, the “7” for the CURSOR LEFT(◀), the “8” for the CURSOR DOWN(▼) and the “9” for the CURSOR RIGHT(▶ ).

󳢯The ROOM 2 function allows enjoying one source in the main room while playing another in a different room at

the same time.

󳢯The analog signals from the 7.1 CH DIRECT inputs and TAPE MONITOR INs as well as the digital signals

from the coaxial or optical digital input cannot be output from the ROOM 2 OUTs.

󳢯Each time these buttons are pressed, the volume mode

changes as follows: Variable : Select this when an power amplifier is connected

to the ROOM 2(audio) OUTs for ROOM 2 source playback. You can adjust the ROOM 2 volume level with the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL knob of this receiver or the VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons on the remote control.

Fixed : Select this when an integrated amplifier, etc. is

connected to the ROOM 2(audio) OUTs. You can adjust the ROOM 2 volume level on the connected integrated amplifier, etc.

󳥎Notes : 󳢯When you assign the power amplifier for the surround back channels to the ROOM 2, the volume mode is

automatically set to Variable.

󳢯In case that an integrated amplifier, etc. is connected to the ROOM 2(audio) OUTs and the volume mode is set to

Variable, if the ROOM 2 volume level is adjusted to high level on both this receiver and the connected amplifier, the ROOM 2 speaker and the connected amplifier may be damaged.

Therefore, be sure to set the volume mode to Fixed for safe operation when using amplifier or receiver with its

own volume control for ROOM 2.

󳢯When selecting the Fixed mode, first adjust the volume level as desired in the Variable mode and select the

Fixed mode. Then the volume level will be fixed to the adjusted level.
