WARNING: Do not install this equipment in a confined space
such as a book case or similar unit.
CAUTION: The apparatus shall not be exposed to water,
dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a
dedicated circuit;
That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance
and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or
damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of
these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, dis-
continue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with
an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and
the point where the cord exits the appliance.

lBe sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R(right) jacks when making-
connections.
lChange the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.
lA75Ωoutdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.
Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.
lPlace the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and
set it to a direction for the best reception.
lIf the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop
antenna.
lMake connections firmly and correctly. If not, poor connections can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the
receiver.
lIf the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about two weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared.
Should this happen, all settings and memorized stations will need to be reprogrammed.

Surround Sound
ll
This unit incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor
that allows you to create optimum sound quality and sound
atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.
Surround Modes
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal
format which can handle more amount of data than Dolby Digital, providing
better audio quality. Though the number of audio channels is 5.1 (front left,
front right, center, surround left, surround right and Low Frequency Effects)
which is same as Dolby Digital, discs bearing the “”provides fat sound
and better signal - to - noise ratio, thanks to the lower audio compression ratio
format. It also provides wide dynamic range and better separation, resulting in
magnificent sound.
DTS - ES Extended Surround™
This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly
improves the 360- degree surround impression and space expres-
sion thanks to further expanded surround signals, offering high
compatibility with the conventional DTS format.
In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also
offers the surround back (sometimes also referred to as “surround
center”) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 chan-
nels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with
different surround signal recording methods as follows:
llDTS-ES™Discrete 6.1
Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround back
channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense that
the acoustic image are moving about freely among the background
sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maxi-
mum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with
this system are played using a DTS -ES decoder, when played with
a conventional DTS decoder, the surround back channel signals are
automatically downmixed to the surround left and surround right
channels so that none of the signal components are lost.
llDTS - ES™Matrix 6.1
With this format, the additional surround back channel signals
undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and sur-
round right channels beforehand. During playback, they are decod-
ed to the surround left, surround right and surround back channels.
Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with convention-
al DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format can be
achieved even with DTS 5.1 - channel signal sources. Of course, it
is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 - channel signal sources with
a DTS 5.1 -channel decoder. When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix
6.1 sources are decoded with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is
automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum surround
mode is selected. However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources
may be detected as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix
mode must be selected manually to play these sources.
•I n DTS - ES Discrete 6.1, DTS -ES Matrix 6.1 sources, the sur-
round back channel is monaural, but can be played through a sin-
gle(in 6.1 mode) or two surround back speakers(in 7.1 mode)
depending on the surround back speaker setting. (For details,
refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP”on page 36.)
DTS Neo : 6™surround
This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital
PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix
decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-channel surround
playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the
optimum decoding for the signal source.
llDTS Neo : 6 Movie
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed
with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same
atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.
llDTS Neo : 6 Music
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left
and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played
directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of
the surround signals from the center, surround left, surround
right and surround back channels adds a natural sense of
expansion to the sound field.
“DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround”and “Neo : 6”are
trademarks of Digital Theater Systems,Inc.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed
by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the “”includes the
recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can repro-
duce much better sound quality, spatial expansion and dynamic
range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel surround for-
mat which consists of four channels ( front left, center, front right
and surround). Sources bearing the “”provide the the-
ater - like surround sound. The surround channel is monaural, but
is played through two surround speakers.
Dolby Pro Logic II surround
This mode applies conventional 2- channel signals such as digital PCM or
analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals, etc. to surround
processing to offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic cir-
cuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes two modes as follows:
llDolby Pro Logic II MOVIE
When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further
enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that
emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.
llDolby Pro Logic II MUSIC
When listening to music, this mode allows you to further
enhance the sound quality by adding processing that empha-
sizes the musical effects.
Dolby Virtual
This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion
of “phantom”speakers, this mode allows you to experience surround
sound effects from the Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel(record-
ed in digital PCM or analog stereo) sources, through just a single pair of
front speakers.

MPEG Multichannel
This mode is a surround system which faithfully reproduces the ambi-
ence and dynamics of movie soundtracks and music alike. Though
the number of audio channels is 5.1 which is same as Dolby Digital,
discs bearing the “”provides much better at locating
individual sounds to the correct and stable position in the sound
stage.
Extra Surround 6.1/7.1
This mode extracts the surround back(sometimes also referred to as
“surround center”) signals from the surround left and surround right
signals and reproduces it as well as the original multichannel signals
during playback of multi-channel program sources recorded in DTS,
Dolby Digital, etc.

Speaker Placement
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your
room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker
placement and recommendations are as follows :
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
llPlace the front speakers with their front surfaces as
flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.
llPlace the center speaker between the front left and right
speakers and no further from the listening position than
the front speakers.
llPlace each speaker so that sound is aimed at the loca-
tion of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
llPlace the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40
inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the
direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
Surround back left and right speakers.
llPlace the surround back speakers at the back facing the
front at a narrower distance than the front speakers.
llWhen using a single surround back speaker, place it at
the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher posi-
tion (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.
llWe recommend installing the surround back speaker(s)
at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively pre-
vents the surround back channel signals from reflecting
off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in inter-
ference and making the sense of movement from the
front to the back less sharp.
Subwoofer
llThe subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as
desired.
xxNotes:
llWhen using a conventional TV , to avoid interference
with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front
left and right speakers and center speaker.
llTo obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except
the subwoofer should be full range speakers.

ing instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.
xxNote:
llBefore surround playback, first perform the SPEAKER SETUP procedure, etc. on the OSD menu for optimum
performance.(For details, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP”on page 31.)
1
Depending on the input digital signal format, select the desired decoding mode.
llEach time this button is pressed, the decoding mode changes as follows:
llAuto mode (“AUTO”lights up) : The input digital signal format (DTS, Dolby Digital, MPEG or PCM ( 2 chan-
nel stereo), etc.) used by the selected digital input source is detected auto-
matically to perform the necessary decoding process for optimum surround
modes.
llDolby Digital mode(“DOLBY DIGITAL”lights up) : The Dolby Digital signals
processing is performed only when Dolby Digital signals are input.
llDTS mode(“DTS”lights up) : The DTS signal processing is
performed only when DTS signals are input.
llMPEG mode(“MPEG”lights up) : The MPEG signal processing is performed
only when MPEG signals are input.
llPCM mode(“PCM”lights up) : The PCM signal processing is
performed only when PCM signals are input.
xxNotes:
llOnly when the digital input is selected as signal input for the input sources
except TUNER and AUX, the decoding mode can be selected.
llNoise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the auto
