Getting Started

Connecting to Audio-Visual Components

Digital Connections

Read instructions carefully when connecting components to the receiver.

Digital Input Jacks can accept Dolby Digital (AC-3) or PCM signals when compatible components are connected.

TV Connections

TVs with RF input may need a RF modulator (not included) for inputting audio / video signals.

Connecting the Antennas

The AM and FM antennas connect to the AM and FM terminals on the system’s back panel.

They must be hooked up in order to receive clear reception.

AM Loop Antenna

1. Uncoil the Antenna wire and locate the base end of the AM antenna.

2. Press down on the Antenna tab to open the terminal.

3. Inert the antenna wires into the terminal and release the tabs to secure the wires in place.

FM Antenna

Insert the FM pig-tail antenna into the FM Antenna jack on the back of the unit.

HINT

• For FM reception, extend antenna to its full length.

• For AM reception, rotate the antenna horizontally to get better reception.

If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. What you need is just one more digital optical cable (not supplied). Plug it in the digital input jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL 1 or 2 on the receiver setting (see details on pg 20 chapter "Input Signal Setting"). You can enjoy better sound quality brought to you by the optical cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still needed for recording to tape / VCR output.

CD Player

6 CH. INPUT

Connect components capable of outputing 6 channal signals (e.g. DVD).

6 CH. EXTERNAL INPUT

DIGITAL CONNECTION

If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides 2 optical and 1 coaxial digital input for the connection of your components. Connect your components (e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and refer to the "Input Signal Setting" section on page 20 to select the corresponding digital input source. Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the Home Theatre to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theatre.

Getting Started

Positioning your speaker

1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)

They carry primarily music and sound effects

2 Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.

3 Surround (Rear Speakers)

Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.

4 Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen.

Magnetic shielding

Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.

It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.

Front Speaker Placement

Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater setup exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement that follow will help you get good results.

Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead of them.

Advanced Setting

Angle

Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position will duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective.

Height

The three speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Getting Started

Connecting the Speakers

Speakers

There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects, all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver.

At least two front speakers (left and right) are required. For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.

If you want to enjoy the full sound range, use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.

Speaker wires

One for each speaker, is needed for connection. Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

Speaker Polarity

When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities of speaker wires and terminals are matched (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver). If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass (“out of phase” effect).

Connecting the Subwoofer

Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire provided.

Getting Started

Preferred surround placement

Location

If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.

Height

If space permits, install surrounds 60cm-90cm (2-3 feet) above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.

Aiming

Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious surround sound field.

Advanced Setting Alternative Surround Placement

Rear wall

If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until surround sounds seem to envelop you, rather than coming from behind you.

No adjacent walls

Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed upwards. In the latter case, they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B).

Getting Started

Test Tone / Channel balance

Channel balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level.

To activate and adjust test tone, refer to “Testing Speaker Loudness” under the “Advanced Sound Control” section (Pg 20).

Level adjustment & surround channel level expectation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual program material the surround channel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the surround level; program producers use surround mostly for subtle atmospheric and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.

Factory Setting

The unit is preset to the following settings when you first power the receiver up right out of the box: Function = TUNER Volume setting = 25 Bass & treble = 0 dB EQ = FLAT Speaker settings: Center, surr = YES

Subwoofer = STRONG

DRC = OFF

You may restore factory setting with the following procedures:

1. Enter SAT mode.

2. Press PRESET UP, PRESET DOWN, SOURCE to reset the unit.

All preset stations will reset to FM87.5MHz and all receiver settings restore to default settings as described above.

NOTE

The system is equipped with Dolby Digital, and manufactured under License from Dolby Laboratories.

Sound Enhancement Systems

This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement systems.

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in which only four channels ( Front Left, Front Right, Center and Rear ) are used, the new system provides stereo separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left ). These 5 channels, together with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel ), constitute as 5.1-Channel ( or 6 Channels ) Input for Dolby Digital that brings you the most sophisticated sound enjoyment.

Dolby Pro Logic II

The Pro Logic II mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround left and right channel audio signals and uses all five speakers to play both stereo and Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TV and VCR. Dolby Pro Logic II includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Music and Dolby Pro Logic Emulation.

You can use this mode with any stereo program source (such as VCR/SAT) to enjoy multi-channel sound experience.

Digital Theater Systems (DTS)

DTS is a digital surround system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio. It offers five full-range channels plus a special low frequency effect (LFE) channel for subwoofer, resulting commonly know 5.1 channels. It can be applied with existing 5.1 speaker configurations.

DTS is available in DVD, SAT/CAB, TV and CD mode. (When digital cable is connected)

Dolby 3 Stereo

The 3 Stereo mode will redirect the Surround signals to the front left and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.

Stereo

The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have connected the front speakers only.

DSP (Digital Sound Processor)

These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such as (ARENA/ JAZZ CLUB / THEATER / STADIUM / DISCO). DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you different feels of size and types of listening environment.

Night Mode

By using Dynamic Range Control technology, you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital sound quality at night without interrupting your roommates or neighbors. Night Mode will compress the difference between normal voices and sounds such as explosions, while still enjoying a Dolby Digital enable component (DVD, SAT). Night Mode can be activated by pressing the NIGHT button on the remote control. DRC OFF (Default) appears on the display. While DRC OFF (Default) is still on the display, continue to press the NIGHT button to toggle and select the desired night mode. There are three modes (DRC OFF, SOFT, ON) for you to choose the extents of compression.

Dynamic Bass Amplified System (dBas)

With “Dynamic Bass Amplified System” (dBas), the discrete amplifier is located in the receiver so the subwoofer keeps the power needed to reproduce powerful effects. 4 settings are available: SOFT, BALANCED, STRONG and POWERFUL. Press the SUBWOOFER button to toggle the subwoofer (dBas) effects level according to your needs.

6 Channel external input

An external decoder (Dts, Dolby Digital, etc…) or a device with built-in multi-channel decoder and 6 channel output connector (DVD player, TV…) can be connected to the 6CH input. It is therefore possible to play any future 6 Channels coding (SACD, DVD Audio) thanks to this connection. The external decoder device will send the separated audio information to the receiver that will then amplify the signal and send to appropriate speakers.

To activate 6 Channel external input, press SOURCE on the receiver until 6 CH is selected or press dvd/6 channel twice on the remote control

Fine Setting of the Components

The receiver can be directly turned on by pressing the

DVD•6CH / SAT•CABLE / TV / TAPE•CD / VCR / TUNER

Displaying Program Formats

When a digital source starts playing, the receiver automatically switches to the proper surround mode and provides setting information via the speaker icons located on the right-hand side of the display.

It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby Digital sources are encoded with the full complement of five channels plus LFE*. Speaker icons show how many and which speaker you have enabled (See “Fine Setting of the Speakers”) and the letters inside the speaker icons show which channel is present in the source information. For example, the diagram shown means you have all five speakers and subwoofer enabled and the digital sources you played have five channels plus LFE complemented.

* LFE stands for Low Frequency Effect. The indication “LFE” appears if the digital source contains LFE information. In this case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer, offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects. If the letter is flashing, the signal is either too weak or just gone.

Center Speaker selection (CTR) YES / NO Surround Speaker selection (SURR) YES / NO Front Speaker distance (FRNT) 0.9m - 9m Center Speaker distance (CNTR) 0m - 9m Rear Speaker distance (SURR) 0m - 9m

NOTE

By default, the Center and Surround Speakers are set to YES. If you decide not to use them, set the ones you do not intend to use to NO so the sound performance is not affected.

Fine Setting of the Speakers

All the basic settings have already been preset for the speakers included in the box.

Also, to make the surround sound more effective and suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room, you may need to delay the signal coming from some of the speakers. Channel delay compensates for center or surround speakers that are closer to the listening position than the front speakers. You can make use of the SETUP button to adjust the speakers’ relative loudness.

Testing Speaker Loudness

You can listen to the loudness of the individual speakers by doing the following:

1. Press and hold LEVEL on the remote control. A short noise will be heard in the speakers one by one. The speaker having the noise at that moment will be shown in the display.

2. To adjust the volume level of the test tone, turn the VOLUME knob or press the VOL + or VOL - buttons on the remote control to adjust the master volume (if necessary).

Press the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the individual channel noise level while it is shown in the display.

Adjust Individual Speaker Volume

1. To adjust individual speaker volume level, press the LEVEL button on the remote control.

2. Continue to press the LEVEL button on the remote control to select the channel to be adjusted, then press the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the level.
