_ BEFORE OPERATING, ADJUST THE POSITION OF THESE SWITCHES
_TWO VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCHES —_|
Only multi-voltage models are provided with these switches. U.S.,
Canadian, European, U.K. and Australian models are not provided with
these switches.
Mains voltages in Saudi Arabia are 127 V and 220 V only. Never use
this modei with 110 V setting in Saudi Arabia,
The line voltage selector switches are on the rear panel. Before your
model is shipped from the factory, these switches are set to the power
requirements of the destination. Check that they are set properly before
plugging the power cord into the household wall socket. If the voltage
is not properly set or if you move to an area where the voltage
requirements differ, adjust the selector switches as follows,
1, Use a medium-size screwdriver.
2. First, insert a screwdriver in the groove of the voltage selector at
the right, and adjust so that the tip of the groove points to the voltage
value of your area.
3. Next, insert a screwdriver in the groove of the voltage selector at
the left and adjust until the voltage is the same as at the right.

SURROUND EFFECT
This unit is equipped with DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. There’s also
a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), with a choice of five SFC (Sound Field
Control) simulated surround settings.
* SIMULATED SURROUND:
The ‘‘SIMULATED” creates effects of reverberated and reflected sound
from the wails and ceiling similar to a concert hall. These sound-effects
added to the actual sound from the source make you feel as if you were
in a more expanded space.
Choose the SIMULATED SURROUND mode if the source sound signal
is mono.
¢ JAZZ: (VSX-D701S only)
This gives you the sound field of a jazz club.
¢ CHURCH: (VSX-D701S only}
The sound field of a church, ideal for reproducing the rich sound of a
pipe organ.
® DANCE:
A “hot’’ high-energy sound, with extra reverb for greater ambience.
® HALL:
You can enjoy 2 convincing hall sound.
@ THEATER:
Use this when watching a movie sources that have a stereo soundtrack
to enjoy the effect of being in a movie theater.
* PRO LOGIC THEATER
Use with video software bearing the [{][pocsy sunpounp] mark.
The feeling of movement, and outstanding stereo imaging offered by
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, together with atmosphere of a movie
theater assure incredible ambience.
* DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND
Choose this setting for movies and music (especially Video Discs and
video tapes bearing the [J{][eovey surrounn] mark) playback.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND continuously detects the size and
direction of the dominant signal and cancels undesirable crosstalk,
thereby providing signal emphasis.
{t makes you clearly perceive the directions where music comes from.
Real flow of sound also can be re-created naturally using this feature.
You can feel as if being in the outstanding and expansive sound field.
When using DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, a delay time setting of
20 ms is commonly used. Use a different setting if you prefer.
Note:
Dolby Surround will not operate correctly if the signal passes through |
a graphic equalizer. }
When using Dolby Surround, turn off the TAPE 2 MONITOR or set
the graphic equalizer for flat response or to its “through” (or off}
setting, if you have one in use.
DOLBY 3CH LOGIC
Combining the rear speaker signal with that of the front speakers results
in your being able to enjoy a regenerated sound field which has
comparatively more presence and 4 more expansive feeling from the
front 3 channels (front L, front R, and center speakers) than that of
ordinary stereo regeneration.
DOLBY 3CH LOGIC can be used with stereo sources not encoded with
DOLBY SURROUND.

You can choose from the following settings:
Center Mode Choices:
When using a center speaker:
*® NORMAL -- Low range frequencies, which have little effect on
directionality and positioning, are routed to the left and right front
speakers. So you can use a relatively small size speaker as the center
speaker,
* WIDE — if you use a large size center speaker, choose this setting.
The full frequency range of the Dolby Surround center channel, from
low to high, is routed to the center speaker.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, DOLBY 3CH LOGIC CENTER MODE
When not using a center speaker: DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND
® PHANTOM -- The signal which would have been sent to the center
speaker is divided equally between the left and right front speakers.
With DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, monaural source sound will be
heard only from the center channel at settings other than the PHANTOM
position.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION
To get the most out of the surround system, place the speakers as
shown below.

If the rear speakers are positioned at an extreme distance, the surround
level becomes unable to adjust and the surround effect will not be fully
achieved.
NOTE:
* To avoid interference with the picture on a nearby TV set, use
magnetically shielded speaker systems. This is particularly important
for the center speaker since it is usually located closest to the TV.
* Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances from
the TV set and approximately six feet from each other.
*® Position the center speaker above, below, ar behind the TV set. Sound
may not appear to coincide with the picture if you position it next to
the TV set.
* Rear speakers are best positioned stightly above ear level.
