from the front
speakers.
The bass sound of the
center channel is
output from fhe fronf
speakers (because a
small speaker cannot
produce enough
bass).
Adjust the volume level so that the test tone from
each speaker is at the same level from your listening
position.
• To adjust the level of center speaker, press
CENTER LEVEL + or - on the remote.
• To adjust the level of rear speakers, press REAR
LEVEL + or - on the remote.
3 Press TEST TONE on the remote to turn off the test
tone.
■Q' You can adjust all speakers at one time
Adjust MASTER VOLUME on the receiver or remote.
'Q' You can also adjust the volume level with the controls
on the receiver
After pressing TEST TONE, press REAR LEVEL + or and CENTER LEVEL + or - to adjust the level of the rear
and center speakers respectively.
'Q' You can increase the output level of the rear speakers
The adjustment range of the rear speakers is preset from
-15 to +10, but you can shift the range up 5 levels (-10 to
+15). Hold down the "0" numeric button while turning
on the receiver until "GAIN UP" appears on the display.
The values for the rear level remain fixed at -15 to +10 in
the display, but you will be able to hear the difference in
the actual output level.

Adjusting the speaker volume Ll
The test tone feature lets you set the volume of yourspeakers to the same level. (If all of your speakers have
equal performance, you don't have to adjust the
speaker volume.)
Using the controls on the remote lets you adjust the
volume level from your listening position.
1 Press TEST TONE on the remote.
You will hear the test tone from each speaker
sequentially.
Adjusting the delay time
You can make the surround sound more effective by
delaying the output from the rear speakers (delay
time). You can select from three delay times, S (15 mS),
M (20 mS), and L (30 mS). For example, if you've
placed the rear speakers in a large room or apart from
your listening position, set the delay time shorter.
1 Start playing a program source encoded with Dolby
Surround sound.
Press DELAY TIME repeatedly to choose the delay
time parameter. The current delay time appears in
the display, such as "DELAY S," "DELAY M" or
"DELAY L."

Glossary
Center mode
Setting of speakers to enhance Dolby Pro Logic
Surround mode. To obtain the best possible
surround sound, select one of the following
four center modes according to your speaker
system.
NORMAL mode
Select NORMAL mode if you have front and
rear speakers and a small center speaker.
Since a small speaker cannot produce
enough bass, the bass sound of the center
channel is output from the front speakers.
Front speaker

• 3 CH LOGIC mode
Select 3 CH LOGIC mode if you have front
and center speakers but no rear speaker. The
sound of the rear channel is output from the
front speakers to let you experience some of
the surround sound without using rear
speakers.
Front

Delay time
Center

Front
speaker(R)
Time lag between the surround sound output
from front speakers and rear speakers. By
adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers,
you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make
the delay time longer when you have placed
the rear speakers in a small room or close to
your listening position, and make it shorter
when you have placed them in a large room or
apart from your listening position.
Direct tuning
Tuning method to let you directly enter a
station's frequency using the numeric buttons.
Use this method if you know the frequency of
the station you want.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Decoding system of Dolby Surround sound
standardized in TV programs and movies.
Compared with the former Dolby Surround
system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves
sound image by using four separate channels:
off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog, leftto-right panning, and music. These channels
manipulate the sound to be heard and enhance
the action as it happens on the screen. To take
advantage of Dolby Pro Logic, you should
have at least one pair of rear speakers and/or
one center speaker. You also need to select the
appropriate center mode to enjoy a full effect.
Dolby Surround
Encoding and decoding system of Dolby
Surround sound for consumer use. Dolby
Surround decodes the extra channels on the
Dolby Surround-encoded sound tracks of
movie videos and TV programs and produces
sound effects and echoes that make the action
seem to envelop you.
The receiver offers Dolbv Surround as one of
the pre-programmed sound fields. If you have
rear or center speaker(s), we recommend that
you customize the Dolbv Surround sound field
by selecting the appropriate center mode to
take advantage of Dolby Pro 1 .ogic Surround
sound.
Preset station
A radio broadcasting station that is stored in
memory of the receiver. Once you "preset"
stations, you no longer have to tune in the
stations. Each preset station is assigned its own
preset number, which lets you tune them in
quickly.
Surround sound
Sound that consists of three elements; direct
sound, early reflected sound (early reflections)
and reverberative sound (reverberation). The
acoustics where you hear the sound affect the
way these three sound elements are heard.
These sound elements are combined in such a
way that you can actually feel the size and the
type of a concert hall.
