Special features
True home theater sound
This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you
maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround mode
according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and
enjoy! ¢
Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX
The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from
software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up
to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and
more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. As for Dolby
Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1
channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three
surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best result,
Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor
PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows
user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing
“5.1 like” presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for controlling
the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. PRO
LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video software
marked and three-dimensional space from music CD.
When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer
STEREO surround sound.
DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that
provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)
channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a
(wide) dynamic range.
In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD
disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround.
Important:
When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be
output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the
digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.
DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a
variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like “ARENA”, “JAZZ
CLUB”, THEATER”, STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with
almost any kind of program source.
DVD 6-channel input
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver
allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source
material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are
digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience
is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound
systems.
ACTIVE EQ
ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any
condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE
EQ is turned on during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver, 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 connected.
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner
The receiver is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several
convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically preset
up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name
display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY
search to let you tune stations by program type.
PTY (Program TYpe) search
Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.

ENGLISH
Setting up the system
Make connections as shown in the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be
sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with
the components you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Notes
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise
interference.
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging
or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection
cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions
and may damage the unit.
3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power
consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the
rear of this unit.
Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer
stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually
have 2 plugs at each end, red for the right channel and white for the left
channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit,
or are available at your local electronics retailer.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even
though all connections have been made properly, reset the
microcomputer by referring to “In case of difficulty”. °
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks for digital
audio input and analog audio input.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.
1Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2,
DVD/6CH.
2Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DTS play mode
1F-AUTO (digital input, analog input)
2D-MANUAL (digital input)
In CD/DVD, VIDEO2, DVD/6CH play mode
1F-AUTO (digital input, analog input)
2D-MANUAL (digital input)
36CH INPT (DVD/6CH input)
4ANALOG (analog input)
Digital input:
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD
player.
Analog input:
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,
or record player.
Auto detect:
In “F-AUTO” (full auto) mode (AUTO DETECT and DIGITAL
indicators light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input
signals automatically. Priority is given to digital signal during input
mode selection. The receiver will select the input mode and listening
mode automatically during playback to match the type of input
signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS ) and the speaker setting. The initial
factory setting is full auto.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode,
use the INPUT MODE key to select “D-MANUAL” (digital manual).
However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases
in which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a
Dolby Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening
mode and source digital.
In D-MANUAL mode, if the audio reproduction stops in the middle
due to change in the input signals etc, press the LISTEN MODE key.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be
produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

Connecting the terminals
Speaker impedance
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the
rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance
ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that
indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions
or damage to the speakers or receiver.
• Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.
• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker
cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be
unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the
speakers correctly.
Connecting the antennas
AM loop antenna
The supplied loop antenna is for use indoors. Place it as far as possible
from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and power cord, and adjust
the direction for best reception.
FM indoor antenna
The supplied indoor antenna is for temporary use only. For stable
signal reception we recommend using an outdoor antenna. Disconnect
the indoor antenna when you connect one outdoors.
FM outdoor antenna
Lead the 75Ωcoaxial cable connected to the FM outdoor antenna into
the room and connect it to the FM 75Ωterminal.

Speaker placement
Front speakers : Place to the front left and right of the listening
position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the
sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround
playback.
Surround speakers : Place to the direct left and right, or slightly
behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter
above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound
motion and atmosphere. Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Surround back speaker : Place the speaker directly at the rear of the
listening position. The optimum position depends mainly on the room
condition.
• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers
listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you
can divide those signals between the available speakers in the
speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround
reproduction from the speakers you have available. %
