• DO NOT pull the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage
the cord.
• Keep the power cord away fiom the connecting cords and the
anlenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for anlenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset sellings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound
ac[justments may be erased in a few days.
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
• When using the remole control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.

• Changing the source, and
• Assigning the source name.
When you change the source, the memorized settings for the newly
sele[]ed source are automatically recalled.
IZk)llowing can be stored for each source:
lnput attenuator mode (see page 15)
Balance (see page 15)
Tone ac[justment (see page 15)
Subwoofer output level (see page 15)
Surround mode selection (see page 21-23)
tetes:
You cannot assign and store different settings for digital input mode
and analog input mode.
If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for
each band.
For recording
You can record any source playing through the receiver to a cassette
deck (or a CD recorder) conne[]ed to the TAPE/CDR,jacks and the
VCR connected to the VCR ,jacks at the same time.
While recording, you can listen to the selected sound source at
whatever sound level you like without affecting the sound levels of
the recording.
Note:
The output leve!, tone adjustment (see page 15), and Surround
modes (see page 21-23) cannot affect the recording,

You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic
sound field:
• Dolby Surround
• Dolby Pro Logic 11
• Dolby Digital
• DTS Digital Surround
• DAP modes
• All Channel Stereo
•Dolby Surround
Dolby Pro Loqic II*
Dolby Pro Logic 1I has a newly developed multichannel playback
format to decode all 2 channel som-ces regular stereo source and
Dolby Surround encoded source into 5.1 channel.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic lI
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and
enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic lI enables to reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes Movie mode and Music mode:
Pro Logic lI Movie (PL II MOVIE) suitable for reproduction of
Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark r'Itq[_LaVS,_OUND].
YOUcan enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete
5.1 channel sounds.
Pro Logic 1I Music (PL 1I MUSIC) suitable for reproduction of
any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep
sound by using this mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be
selected, which gives "wraparound" sound effect with side-wall
image.
• When Dolby Pro Logic 11 is activated, Fig PRO LOGIC 11
indicator lights up on the display.
Dolby Diqital*
Used to reproduce nmltichannel sound tracks of the software
encoded with Dolby Digital ( _,_._ ).
• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the
source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 7.)
Dolby Digital 5.1 ch encoding method (so called discrete
multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses
the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear
channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals.
Since each channel is completely independent from the other
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better
sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.
Note:
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
--multichannel (up to "5.1" ch) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can
use Dolby Pro Logic II.
•DTS Digital Surround**
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (_).
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround,
connect the source component using the digital terminal on the
rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete muhichanneI digital
audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively
low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth
and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital
Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
