Overview of DAB
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new multimedia broadcasting system that replaces the current FM/AM broadcast to transmit audio programmes with a quality comparable to that of CDs*. Each DAB multiplex radio station converts programmes (services) into an ensemble, which it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or more components. All services and components are identified by name, so you can access any of them without having to know their frequencies. Furthermore, additional information (called programme associated data) can be broadcast along with the services in the form of text.
With DAB digital radio, you can enjoy:
– CD sound quality without any hiss or crackle to
spoil the sound
– both music an d data services from a single receiver
(this receiver does not support data services)
– the same radio stations of the same frequency from
anywhere in the country
– multiple programmes (services) from a single
frequency
* S ome service components may not match C D quality
sound.
*
Notes
• The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your country or region. It may not be broadcasted or may be in test phase.
• DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240 MHz) and/or L-Band (1,452 to 1,491 MHz), with each band divided into channels. Each of these channels has its own channel label. For details on th e channel labels and frequencies that this receiver supports, see the Frequency Table on page 66.
• This receiver supports DAB Band-III and L-Band.
• This receiver does not support data services.
• This receiver does not support reception in countries outside of Europe.

Tips
• When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack. S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.
• On this receiver, standard video signals can be converted to S-video signals and this upconverted video signals can only be output from the MONITOR S-VIDEO OUT jack.
• When standard video signals from a VCR etc. are upconverted on this receiver and then output to your TV, depending on the status of the video signal output, the image on the TV screen may appear distorted horizontally or no image may be output.

2: Connecting the antennas

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna, FM wire antenna and DAB wire antenna.

Notes
• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the receiver and other components.
• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna.
• After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as horizontal as possible.
• With a DAB outdoor antenna, you can obtain a higher DAB broadcast sound quality. We recommend that you use the supplied DAB wire antenna only temporarily until you install a DAB outdoor antenna.
• Do not use the U SIGNAL GROUND terminal for grounding the receiver.

3: Connecting speakers

Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel speaker system. To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel). You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two surround back speakers (7.1 channel) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding mode” on page 39).
Example of 7.1 channel speaker system configuration

Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position (see “When placing only one surround back speaker” illustration on page 21).
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

GB
Speaker impedance
(Models of area code CEL only)
To enjoy the best possible multi channel surround, connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher to the FRONT A or FRONT B, CENTER, SURR and SURR BACK terminals, and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “8Ω”. Use the screwdriver to set the impedance selector to the correct position. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your speakers if you are not sure of their impedance. (This information is often on the back of the speaker.) Alternatively, you may connect speakers with nominal impedances between 4 and 8 ohms to any or all of the speaker terminals. However, be sure to set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω” if you connect even one speaker with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
If you connect speakers to both the SPEAKERS FRONT A and B terminals, be sure to set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR and connect the appropriate speakers as follows:
Set IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to and connect speakers with a nominal
4Ω 8 ohms or higher
8Ω 16 ohms or higher
impedance of
For details on selecting the front speakers you want, see “Selecting the speaker system” (page 49).
Note
Be sure to turn the power off before adjusting the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.

5: Setting up the speakers

You can use the SPEAKER SETUP menu to set the size and distance of the speakers connected to this system.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver. 2 Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select
“SP SETUP”.
3 Turn MENU to select the parameter you
want to adjust.
For details, see “SPEAKER SETUP menu parameters” below.
Note
Some speaker setup items may appear dimmed in the display. This means that they have been adjusted automatically due to other speaker settings or may not be adjustable.
4 Turn –/+ to select the setting you want.
The setting is entered automatically.
Note
Press MEMORY/ENTER if you select the setting for “SP PAT. X –X”.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set
all of the items that follow.

automatically, select “EASY SET”. You can select a pre-defined speaker pattern (see the supplied “Easy Setup Guide”).
•NORM. If you want to adjust the settings of each
speaker manually, select “NORM. SET”.

•YES If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
•NO If you did not connect a sub woofer, select “NO”. The front speakers are automatically
set to “LARGE” and you cannot change this setting. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
Note
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend that you set the cut off frequency on the sub woofer as high as possible.

•LARGE If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
•SMALL If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. When the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, the center, surround and surround back speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).

•SMALL If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.
•NO If you did not connect a center speaker, select “NO”. The sound of the center channel will be
output from the front speakers (DIGITAL DOWNMIX).
•MIX If you did not connect a center speaker but want to downmix the center channel audio,
select “MIX”. When the front speakers are set to “LARGE”, the center channel will be downmixed in analog (ANALOG DOWNMIX). When the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, the center channel will be downmixed digitally (DIGITAL DOWNMIX).
Note
When using MULTI CH IN sources, the sound of the center channel is output from the front speakers if you select either “NO” or “MIX”.

Tip
The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each speaker determine whether the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to “SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass, you can use the BASS parameter in the EQUALIZER menu to boost the bass levels. To adjust the equalizer, see page 43.
