audio signals and reproduce a real sense of sound motion .
The 3 STEREO mode uses the directivity enhancer circuit to provide proper acoustic positioning and a real sense of sound
motion even when only the front and center speakers are used
New DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a variety of high quality adjustable sound fieids, like
"ARENA", "JAZZ CLUB" and "STADIUM", to add the “proconco” accociated with an arona, jazz club or ctadium to tho original
signal. It is compatible with almost any kind of program source.
Universal IR (infraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver operations, the remote control supplied with this receiver can also operate almost all of your
remote controllable audio and video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register the components you
have cennoctod. (Be

How to use this manual
This manual is divided in to four sections, Preparations, Operations, Remote Control, and Other.
Preparations
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the receiver and prepare the surround processor.
We've tried to make setting up your system as easy as possible. However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video
components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.
Operations
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the receiver.
Remote Control
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the remote control
We've designed this remote contro! to integrate your entire audio/video system and let you operate ail of your entertainment components
—your TV, VCR, LD player, CD player, etc. Remember that before you can use the remote contro! to operate these components, they
must be registered with a proper setup code.
Other
Includes additional information such as; a list of setup codes for registering your other components, a troubleshooting guide,
specifications, and a reference guide to the remote operations available for registered components.

* Insert four AAA-size (LRO3) batteries as indicated by the polarity markings.
1. The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries due to use during operation checks.
2. Replace all four batteries with new ones when you notice a shortening of the distance from which the remote control will operate or if the
remote control blinks 5 times when you push a key. The remote control is designed to retain set up codes in memory while you change
batteries. Failure to change batteries after receivina the 5 blink battery warning signal may cause all the memory to be lost (1060VR only).
3. Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction.
In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent malfunction.

Operating distance
This remote control has two IR emitters: one to send commands
in a straight line over long distances, allowing you to control the
receiver and your other components from farther away; and one
for wide dispersion of commands in a closer proximity, for near-

* This adjustment is also possible with the LEVEL CONTROL key of the
main unit.
What is delay time?
The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the
sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor,
ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel
longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The
delay time is the difference in time between the direct sound and
indirect sounds.
* The input selector does not change the first time you press the VIDEO
key.
How to calculate the proper delay time
Assuming that the distance from the front speaker is A meters
and the distance from the surround speakers is B meters

@ Use the delay time calculation chart on the right.
Example: When A = 3 m, B = 3 m, the delay time is 20 ms.
