Connecting Speaker Systems

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna
terminals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for
example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the
direction which gives the best reception, as far away as
possible from the system, speaker cords and the power
cord, to prevent unwanted noise.

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (because you are too far from the
transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be
necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an
insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end,
and connect this to the terminal as shown.
For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a
reliable ground.

Note : Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not

disconnect the AM loop antenna.

To avoid damaging the speakers by inputting a sudden
high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before
connecting the speakers.

Connect the cable from each speaker to the
corresponding terminal on the rear of the receiver.

Most speaker cables have different markings, textures
or colors to help you tell the difference between
negative and positive.
Be sure to connect the positive (+) terminal on each
speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the receiver.

Similarly, connect the negative (-) terminal on the
speaker to negative (-) terminal on the receiver.

Notes :

Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or
more.

How to connect

(1) Strip back the cable covering by about 1 cm and

twist the wire strands together.

(2) Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it.

The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed
from the base.

(3) Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the

SURROUND EFFECTS

When you use the surround function, the sound creates a
“live” atmosphere such as that experienced in movie
theaters, disco, stadium and concert halls.

Surround Modes

This unit is provided with the following surround
modes, which can be selected using the SURROUND MODE
switches. Select the appropriate SURROUND MODE
according to the program source.

DTS (Digital Theater System)

Allows you to enjoy 5.1 (or 6) discrete channels of high
quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing the

“ “ or “HIGH DEFINITION SURROUND” trademark
such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital
Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio
(which means identical to the original masters) and results
in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360˚ soundfield.
The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.
Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
Note : The DTS program sources should be played back in

the DTS mode. If not, it will sound like continuous
noise.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Use this mode when playing movie or music video software
which carries the DOLBY SURROUND mark.
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater or
live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can only
be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND.
The main feature of DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND is that
the separation between the various channels is significantly
improved from the 3 dB of previous systems to 26-40 dB.
As a result, the effect of the front/back/ left/right movement of
the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the
sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.
In addition, movie dialogue and other sounds which should
naturally be heard from the center are output through an
independent center channel, providing a high degree of focus
for dialogue.

3 STEREO

Front speakers receive rear (surround) speaker signals in
addition to front speakers signals. Center speaker works
similarly as that of Dolby Pro Logic mode. In this way, you can
enjoy playback sound having superior sound positioning
without using rear channel speakers.

HALL Surround

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital
program source. If you connect a DVD player or an LD
player with a DOLBY DIGITAL output to the DOLBY DIGITAL
input jack on a surround receiver/amplifier or surround
processor and play DVD or laser discs with ( ) mark,
you can enjoy evenbetter sound quality, greater spatial
accuracy, and improved dynamic range. This is because
Dolby Digital delivers up to 5 totally discrete, full frequency
audio channels (front left and right, center, and surround left
and right), plus 0.1 channel called LFE* (bass-only effects
channel).
Dolby Digital is a system developed by Dolby Laboratories
that transmits 5.1 channels of digital signals. The surround
system developed for movie theaters using this system is
called “Dolby SR-D “Surround Digital”. Because each
channel is completely independent, a realistic sound field
with a “three-dimensional” feel is achieved which gives the
sound a sense of distance, movement and relative position,
creating a surprisingly real and powerful sense of presence.
Some Dolby Digital programs carry information that allow
you to compress the dynamic range of sound track, without
degrading the sound quality, for softer sound effects when
you listen late at night.
* LFE = Low Frequency Extension

This channel delivers separate non-directional bass
signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects.

When playing recordings of live music, this mode provides a
feeling similar to actually being in a concert hall. When this
mode is selected, the normal program source is directed to
the main speakers and a reverberated sound is directed to the
surround speakers. This mode is suited to program sources
which contain a large amount of reverberation.

THEATER Surround

This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that
of movie theater. With this mode, you can enjoy a surround
effect similer to Dolby Surround sound even when playing a
video program which is not encoded with the Dolby Surround
system.

DISCO Surround

Gives a greatly expanded feel to powerful music such as
dance or rock.

STADIUM Surround

The reverberation of this mode produces a sound field which
recreates the sound of a stadium.

CHURCH Surround

This mode provides the reverberant ambiance of a church,
which can enhance choral work, as well as adding a rich
ambient effect to “dry” studio recordings.

SURROUND EFFECTS

Speaker Positioning

This installation positions of speakers differ according to
the size, and acoustics of the listening room. While
actually listening to a program source, try various
speaker positions to determine which layout provides
the best surround effect.

Speaker layout example when using SURROUND
MODE

Front Speakers
Center Speaker

Subwoofer

Rear Speakers

Front speakers : Place to the front left and right of the

listening position. Front speakers are
required for all surround modes.

Center speaker : Place directly above or below the

television. This speaker stabilizes the
sound image and helps recreate
sound motion. Be sure to connect a
center speaker when using the 3
STEREO mode.

Rear speakers : Place left and right behind the

listening area.
These speakers recreate sound
motion and atmosphere. Required
for surround playback.

For best results, do not install the
rear speakers too far behind the
listening position and install them at
or above the level of the listener’s
ears. It is also effective to direct the
rear speakers towards a wall or
ceiling to further disperse the
sound.

Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass

(OPTIONAL)

sounds. A Subwoofer is not required
but may be added as an option.

Speaker Configuration

POWER ON

It is important to perform speaker configuration prior to
using the decoder. This allows the unit to sense the
available speakers and automatically select decoding
modes. It is possible to receive multi-channel surround
sound without a center speaker, but for best results with
DTS, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital decoding, at least 5
speakers (Left, Center, Right, Left Rear and Right Rear)
should be used.

1. Each press of the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
button will change the desired Speaker Configuration
shown on the display. (ex.: “F-LARGE”, “F-SMALL”,
“C-LARGE”, “C-NONE”, “S-LARGE” etc.)

2. Use the ADJUST ( ) buttons to set the appropriate
status.

CENTER SPEAKER Mode

- LARGE : Use this mode with a large center speaker.
The center channel’s output is full range.

- SMALL : Use this mode with a small center speaker.

- NONE : Use this mode if there is no center speaker.

The center channel signal will be divided between
the front L and R speakers.

REAR (SURROUND) SPEAKER Mode

- LARGE : Choose if a large speaker is used or if a
subwoofer is connected in parallel.
The rear channels output will be full range.

- SMALL : Choose if small speakers are used.
When using small speakers, it is recommened that a
powered Subwoofer be added to play low frequencies.

FRONT SPEAKER Mode

- LARGE : Choose if large speakers are installed.

Front channel output will be full range.

- SMALL : Choose if compact speakers are used.

Note : When LFE/Bass Out is set for FRONT, the
front channels full range is output to the front
speakers even if the front speaker mode is set to
SMALL.

a. When in DTS/Dolby Digital Mode,

DOLBY DIGITAL 0 ~ 15 ms in 1 ms step (S-Delay)

0 ~ 5 ms in 1 ms step (C-Delay)

DOLBY PRO LOGIC 15 ~ 30 ms in 1 ms step (S-Delay)

In the surround modes, the sound from the rear
speakers should be delayed slightly, relative to that
from the front speakers. The optimum delay time will
depend on acoustic properties, whether the walls and
furnishings reflect or absorb sound, etc.
It is recommended that you try different delay times to
obtain the best effect. The delay is digitally synthesized,
for the highest sound quality with minimum noise and
distortion.
The delay time can be set independently for each
surround mode using the DELAY TIME button, with the
current setting shown in the display.

OSD (ON SCREEN DISPLAY)

When your Techwood AV Digital Surround Receiver is
connected to a television, you can operate the unit with
the remote control by making selections from on-screen
menus. If a menu remains on the screen for a period of
time without a selection being made, the display will
disappear. Most menus disappear after 20 seconds.

Important:

The on-screen display will not operate unless
the receiver is connected to the television with a video
cable from the monitor out jacks.

Before using the on-screen display, the ON SCREEN
SELECTOR SWITCH on the rear panel of the receiver must
be set to the type of video connection being used to supply
video signal from your receiver to your TV monitor.

VIDEO : Set the switch to this position when using the
yellow VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack.
S-VIDEO : Set the switch to this position when using
the 4 pin S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack.

The on-screen display will only appear when the video
signal matches the type of signal selected with the
selector switch.

functions, a display appears on your television screen
showing the current status of the system, including the
type of video and audio input being monitored, the
type of audio output and the status of the Tape 2
monitor. If the Tape 2 monitor is ON, the sound being
heard is the sound being recorded through the Tape 2
