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 component video or S-video signals and S-video signals can be converted to component video signals. These upconverted video signals can only be output from the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jack. However, you cannot convert the component video signals to standard video or S-video signals.
• When standard video signals (composite video signals) or S-video signals from a VCR etc. are converted upward 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.

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 33).
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 20).
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

all of the items that follow.
SPEAKER SET UP menu parameters
The initial settings are underlined.
x EASY SETUP XXX (Speaker easy setup)
•YES
If you want to set up your speakers automatically, select “YES”. You can select a pre-defined speaker pattern (see the supplied “Easy Setup Guide”).
•NO If you want to adjust the settings of each
speaker manually, select “NO”.
x SP PATTERN X–X
(Speaker setup pattern)
When “EASY SETUP” is set to “YES”, select the speaker setup pattern. Turn –/+ to select the speaker setup pattern and press ENTER to enter the selection. Check your speaker setup pattern using the supplied “Easy Setup Guide”.
x SUB WOOFER XXX
(Sub woofer selection)
•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.
• 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.
x FRONT SP XXXXX
(Front speakers size)
• 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” or to “ZONE-2”*).
* For surround back speakers only.
x CTR SP XXXXX
(Center speaker size)
• LARGE If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker to “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 center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.

• LARGE If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the surround speakers to “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 surround channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
•NO If you did not connect surround speakers, select “NO”.
x SB SP XXXXXX
(Surround back speakers selection)
c)
When the surround speakers size parameter is set to “NO”, the surround back speakers selection parameter is also automatically set to “NO” (unless previously set to “ZONE-2”).
• DUAL If you connect two surround back speakers,
select “DUAL”. The sound will be output to a maximum of 7.1 channels.
•SINGLE If you connect only one surround back speaker, select “SINGLE”. The sound will be
output to a maximum of 6.1 channels.
•NO If you did not connect surround back
speakers, select “NO”.
• ZONE-2 If you want to assign both your surround back speakers to another room or zone, select
“ZONE-2”. For details, see “Using the surround back speakers for 2nd zone” on page 44.
Tips
• a)–c) correspond to the following Dolby Pro Logic modes a) NORMAL b) PHANTOM c) 3 STEREO
• 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”. I f there is not enough bass, you can use the BASS parameter in the EQUALIZER menu to boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass, see page 38.

x CTR DIST. XX ft.
(Center speaker distance)
Initial setting: 10 ft.
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 5 feet closer to your listening position (B).
x SURR DIST. XX ft.
(Surround speaker distance)
Initial setting: 10 ft.
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers. Surround speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 15 feet closer to your listening position (C).
If both surround speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.
x SB DIST. XX ft.
(Surround back speaker distance)
Initial setting: 10 ft.
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround back speaker. Surround back speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 15 feet closer to your listening position (D).
If you connect two surround back speakers and both surround back speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.
Tip
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than 5 feet closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers and the surround back speakers cannot be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is further away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 3–6 feet closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
