Caution

• A speaker cable is a pair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently

or striped to indicate a polarity. Connect one end of the colored/striped cable to the “+” (red) terminal of this unit
and the other end to that of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the “–” (black) terminal of this
unit and the other end to that of your speaker.

• Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or

speakers. If the circuit shorts out, “CHECK SP WIRES!” appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned
on.

• If images on the monitor (CRT) are distorted, place the speakers away from the video monitor.

• Use speakers with an impedance of 6-ohm or larger. Set speaker impedance in the advanced setup menu before

connecting the speakers (page 63). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers when you set “SP IMP.” to
“6ΩMIN”.

■ Connecting speaker cables

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) of

insulation from the end of each speaker
cable and then twist bare wires of the cable
together so that they will not cause a short
circuits.

Program Descriptions

Standard This program creates a sound field emphasizing the surrounding feeling without disturbing the original acoustic

positioning of multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS. It has been designed with the concept of “an

ideal movie theater”, in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations from the left, right and rear.

Spectacle This program represents the spectacular feeling of large-scale movie productions.

It reproduces a broad theater sound field matching the cinemascope and wider-screen movies with an excellent

dynamic range from very small to extremely large sound.

Sci-Fi This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the latest science fiction and special effects-

featuring movies. You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically created virtual spaces reproduced with clear

separation between dialog, sound effects and background music.

Adventure This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of action and adventure movies.

The sound field restrains reverberations but puts emphasis on reproducing a powerful space expanded widely to

the left and right. The reproduced depth is also restrained relatively to ensure the separation between audio

channels and the clarity of the sound.

Program Descriptions

Drama This sound field features stable reverberations that match a wide range of movie genres from serious dramas to

musicals and comedies. The reverberations are modest but offer an optimum 3D feeling, reproducing effects tones

and background music softly but cubically around clear words and center positioning in a way that does not fatigue

the listener even after long hours of viewing.

Mono Movie This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources such as a classic movie in an atmosphere of a

good old movie theater. The program produces the optimum expansion and reverberation to the original audio to

create a comfortable space with a certain sound depth.

Sports This program allows the listeners to enjoy stereo sport broadcasts and studio variety programs with enriched live

feeling. In sports broadcasts, the voices of the commentator and sportscaster are positioned clearly at the center

while the atmosphere of the stadium expands in an optimum space to offer the listeners with a feeling of presence

in the stadium.

Action Game This sound field has been suitable for action games such as car racing and FPS games. It uses the reflection data

that limits the effects range per channel in order to offer a powerful playing environment with a being-there feeling

by enhancing various effects tones while maintaining a clear sense of directions.

Roleplaying Game This sound field has been suitable for role-playing and adventure games. It combines the sound field effects for

movies and the sound field designs for “Action Game” to represent the depth and 3D feeling of the field during

play, while offering movie-like surround effects in the movie scenes in the game.

Program Descriptions

Hall in Munich This sound field simulates a concert hall with approximately 2500 seats in Munich, using stylish wood for the

interior finishing as normal standards for European concert halls. Fine, beautiful reverberations spread richly,

creating a calming atmosphere. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the arena.

Hall in Vienna This is an approximately 1700-seated, middle-sized concert hall with a shoebox shape that is traditional in Vienna.

Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections from all around the audience, producing a very

full, rich sound.

Chamber This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling like an audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant

reverberations that are suitable for courtly music and chamber music.

Cellar Club This program simulates a live house with a low ceiling and homey atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field

features powerful sound as if the listener is in a row in front of a small stage.

The Roxy Theatre This is the sound field of a rock music live house in Los Angeles, with approximately 460 seats. The listener’s

virtual seat is at the center left of the hall.

The Bottom Line This is the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, that was a famous New York jazz club once. The floor

can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound.

Music Video This sound field offers an image of a concert hall for live performance of pop, rock and jazz music. The listener

can indulge oneself in a hot live space thanks to the presence sound field that emphasizes the vividness of vocals

and solo play and the beat of rhythm instruments, and to the surround sound field that reproduces the space of a

big live hall.
