When using the front speakers having nominal impedance
from 8 ohms or higher, set to the 8 O position.
Note
Use the front speakers having nominal impedance of more
than 8 ohms in the SURROUND mode.
Note
When connecting the speaker cord to the speaker terminal,
make sure that the polarity (+ and -) of the speaker cord is
correct. If the polarity is reversed at either speaker, the
sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

Connecting to the AC Power Outlet
Connect the AC power cord to the wall outlet last of all.
By connecting the power cord of the other audio equipment
to SWITCHED AC OUTLET, this unit can supply the power
source to the other audio equipment.
Caution
Be careful that the total power consumption of each
equipment connected to the outlets on the receiver does not
exceed 120 watts (for U.S.A. and Canadian models) or 100
watts (for Australian model).
Do not connect electrical home appliances such as an
electric iron, fan, TV, or other high-wattage equipment to
these outlets.

If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning Interval
The entered value is automatically rounded up or down to
the closest value covered by the tuning interval.
Tuning intervals for direct tuning are the followings:
FM: 50 kHz interval
AM: 10 kHz interval (changeable to the 9 kHz interval)
(See page 5)
9 kHz interval only for Australian model.
When the entered frequency does not exist in the receivable frequency range
The entered digits blink as follows in the frequency display
area, and reception does not take place.
U.S.A. and Canadian models:
Up to 5 digits for FM or up to 3 digits for AM
Australian model:
Up to 5 digits for FM or up to 4 digits for AM
if this occurs, press DIRECT again, and enter the correct
frequency. The frequency range of the receiver is 87.50 to
108.0 MHz for FM, and 530 to 1710 kHz (U.S.A. and
Canadian models) or 531 to 1602 kHz (Australian model) for
AM.
When an FM stereo program is noisy
When the unit receives an FM stereo program, the STEREO
indicator lights on the display. If the stereo program is noisy,
press FM MODE to change ttie mode over the MONO. This
eliminates the stereo effect, but the noise will be greatly
reduced.
To return to the stereo mode, press FM MODE again.

Getting Ready for Dolby Surround Sound
This section describes about seiecting the speaker
configuration and then adjusting the speaker volume and
the delay time of the rear speakers so that you can enjoy
the Dolby surround sound.
Placement of Speakers and Selecting the PRO
LOGIC MODE
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder has the same
functions for playback, such as movie theaters and gives a
theater-like experience in your listening room, naturally
reproducing the audio sound field.
The STR-D911/D711 incorporates a decoder which
reproduces the specially encoded surround sound of Dolby
surround video programs.
In the DOLBY SUR or THEATER mode, select the speaker
operation mode according to your speaker configuration by
pressing the PRO LOGIC button. Each time the PRO
LOGIC button is pressed, the PRO LOGIC mode is
changed in the following order:
p PHANTOM -► 3 CH. LOGIC — NORMAL — WIDE-|
3CH. (Channel) LOGIC mode
Select this mode when you play back a Dolby surround
program source only with the front and center speakers.
The sound of the rear channel is output from the front (L and
R) speakers.
NORMAL mode
Select this mode if you use a small center speaker. The
bass sound of the center channel is output from the front
speakers, as a small speaker cannot produce enough bass.
PHANTOM mode
Select this mode when you play back a Dolby surround
program source without using a center speaker. The sound
of the center channel is output from the front (L and R)
speakers.
24
WIDE mode
Select this mode if you use a medium to big center speaker.
Some commercially available software may have Dolby
surround processed sound tracks even though it is not so
indicated on the package.

Adjusting the Speaker Volume
5 Press CURSOR MODE.
To enjoy the surround sound to the maximum on playing any
program sources, adjust the front, center, and rear (if
connected ) speakers to the same volume level. The
adjustment must be done with a test tone in the DOLBY SUR
mode, but the level once adjusted can be used for all
surround modes.
You can adjust the volume level from your listening position
by using the remote commander.
The SUR (surround) indicator lights up.
To adjust the level of center speakers
Press A or V to select the center level mode and
then adjust the level with < or > or CENTER LEVEL
+/- on the remote commander so that sound from
each speaker is heard in the same volume level at
the listening position. (When adjusting the VOLUME
control on the receiver, all speakers are adjusted
simultaneously.)
To adjust the level of rear speakers
Press A or V to select the rear level mode and then
adjust the level with < or > or REAR LEVEL +/- on
the remote commander.
