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 compo-
nents you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround™is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format
available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot
be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For
this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the
analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be
exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper
precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs
are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS
Digital Surround™playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital
Surround™decoder system must be connected to the digital output
(S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.
This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround TM decoder.
Notes
1.
Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, sound may not be produced or there will be noise inference.
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 con-
sumption 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 on each end, one red for the right channel and one 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 micro-
computer referring to “In case of difficulty”.w

Setting up the system
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO2, VIDEO3 and DVD/6ch inputs each include jacks
for digital audio input and analog audio input.
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each
connected component.
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback (CD/DVD,
DVD/6ch) and (VIDEO2, VIDEO3) are digital and analog respec-
tively.
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 input), you must set
the input mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.
INPUT MODE

1Usethe InputSelector keysto selectCD/DVD, VIDEO2, VIDEO3
or DVD/6CH.
2Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DTS play mode
1FULL AUTO (digital input, auto detect)
2DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
In DVD/6ch play mode
1FULL AUTO (digital input, auto detect)
2DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
36CH INPUT (DVD/6ch input)
4ANALOG (analog input, manual detect)
In modes other than DTS or DVD/6ch play mode
1FULL AUTO (digital input, auto detect)
2DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
3ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
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 the auto detect mode (AUTO DETECT indicator lights), the
receiver selects the listening mode automatically during playback to
match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS ) and the
speaker setting. The OPTICAL and COAXIAL indicator on the display
will light up when digital signal is detected. If the input signal is
analog, the ANALOG indicator will light up. The initial factory setting
is auto detect on.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode,
use the INPUT MODE key to select “DIGITAL MANUAL”(manual
sound). 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 signal.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be
produced.
