Connecting up
This section provides information on connecting your DAP-601ES to your source units, your amplifier and your power supply. Before connecting
devices to your DAP-601ES we recommend switching both devices off.
Connecting to your source units
The following line level input connectors on the rear of your DAP-601ES enable you to connect up to five source units:
AUX, VCR and TV Gold plated coaxial analogue stereo inputs, connect to a CD player, radio tuner, VCR or other stereo source using dual phono
to dual phono cables. Connect red to red and white to white (or black).
S/PDIF optical Optical digital input, connect to the digital output of your DVD player or other multi-channel source using the supplied optical
cable. Remove the plastic plug to gain access to the socket.
S/PDIF coaxial Coaxial digital input, an alternative digital connection if your source does not have an optical connector or for connecting to a
second digital source. Connect using a suitable coaxial cable.
Once connected, you can then choose between source units using the Input button on the remote control, see Selecting an input on page 6.
Connecting to your amplifier
To get sound from your DAP-601ES you need to connect it to your speakers via a multi-channel amplifier such as the PURE MCP-601ES.
Connect the Left (L), Right (R), Surround Left (SL), Surround Right (SR), Centre (C) and Subwoofer (SW) output connectors to the
corresponding input connectors on your amplifier using the supplied 6-way phono cable. If you have an amplifier with no subwoofer input, the
subwoofer output can be connected directly to an active subwoofer.
Connecting to the power supply
Once all audio connections are complete, as described above, connect the power cable to the power socket on the rear panel of your DAP-
601ES and the other end to a wall power outlet.

6
Using your DAP-601ES
This section provides information on the operation of your DAP-601ES. The DAP-601ES is simple to operate with all functions available from the
remote control. Insert the batteries in the remote control and aim at the remote sensor on the front panel. Remove the protective film over the
display panel before using the unit.
Input
Switching on and off
Before switching on for the first time, check all audio connections.
Ensure that the power cable is connected and the power is on at the wall.
The DAP-601ES enters a standby mode when you connect it to the power, this is indicated by the red standby LED to the right
of the display.
Push and release the Power button on the front of your DAP-601ES or on the remote control to switch the unit on or return to
standby mode. The blue power on LED and display will light up when the unit is switched on.
Testing your system
After connecting your source, amplifier and speakers, press and release the Test button to test your system.You can also use
the test mode to test the location of the speakers.When the Test button is pressed, white noise is generated in turn through
all satellite speakers in the order Front Left, Centre, Front Right, Surround Left, and Surround Right channels for 2 seconds
each. The display simultaneously indicates which channel is being tested. If you press the Test button during playback the
sound will be interrupted for the period of the test and return to your source when finished.
Selecting an input
The DAP-601ES surround sound processor is capable of processing the digital and analog audio signals from many different
audio sources. The DAP-601ES automatically detects and decodes the digital signal and shows the signal type on the display.
The DAP-601ES can be connected to up to five audio sources using the connectors on the rear panel. Select the input source
you want by repeatedly pressing the Input button until the desired source is selected.The input selected will be shown on the
top line of the display.
AUX Coaxial analogue input labelled AUX on the rear panel
VCR Coaxial analogue input labelled VCR on the rear panel
TV Coaxial analogue input labelled TV on the rear panel
COAXIAL (CO) Coaxial digital input labelled S/PDIF on the rear panel
OPTICAL (OP) Optical digital input labelled S/PDIF on the rear panel
Adjusting the volume
You can adjust both the overall volume and the volume levels of individual channels to suit your listening environment and
source material.
Adjusting the overall volume
You adjust the overall volume level using the Volume +/-and Mute controls.
Mute Pressing Mute mutes all channel outputs. To disable the mute function, press Mute again. The bottom line of the
display shows MUTE when mute is in operation.
Volume To increase or decrease the master output volume of your DAP-601ES, press Volume + /-. The bottom row of the
display shows the value and this remains on the display after adjusting. The default setting is -30 dB and the
range is from -60 to 0 dB. For information on setting the volume of individual channels see below.
Adjusting the volume of individual channels
You can set the volume level of each individual channel. Note the subwoofer channel adjusts the volume of the bass across
all channels where present. An additional LFE (Low Frequency Effect) MIX channel is also provided. The LFE channel is an
optional band-limited bass channel which may be included on some Dolby Digital recordings to enhance the bass at
particular points.
To adjust the volume of an individual channel, press Balance repeatedly until the desired channel is shown on the bottom
line of the display.Adjust volume on the selected channel by pressing Volume +/-. The default setting for each channel is +0 dB.

Adjusting the sound
Your DAP-601ES enables you to fine tune different aspects of the sound to match your listening environment, the type of
source you are using and your own personal listening preferences.
Setting speaker delay
The Delay function enables you to set a delay for rear and centre speakers to enable you to finely tune your setup to take into
account your speaker positioning and the acoustics of your room.
The recommended listening position is described below and shown opposite.
Ideally the centre channel speaker should be placed the same distance as the left and
right speakers from your listening position.
Rear left and right speakers should be placed behind your listening position and above
ear level.
If, for example, the centre speaker can only be placed nearer to you than the left and
right speakers, sound from the centre speaker will arrive before the sound from the left
and right speakers. The difference in arrival time may affect the sound quality. The delay
function enables you to adjust the speaker delay to compensate for this problem by
increasing the delay time for the centre channel.
To adjust delay, press Delay repeatedly until the required channel is selected then
press Delay +/-until the desired delay is shown on the bottom line of the display. The
delay range for rear speakers is 0 to 15 ms and 0 to 5 ms for centre.
Selecting Pro Logic II modes
Dolby Pro Logic II delivers surround sound from mono, stereo and other types of input signal. Push the Pro Logic II button to
display the current Pro Logic II mode. Push it again and repeat to switch the between the following Pro Logic II modes:
OFF Pro Logic II mode off - Acoustics and Equaliser settings available.
MOVIE Optimised for movies or TV with Dolby surround soundtracks, also good with video games consoles.
MUSIC Creates a rich surround sound from stereo sources such as radio and CDs. In music mode there are three settings
which you can apply:
PAN Panoramic mode - wraps the sound from the front left and right speakers around you.
Push the Pro Logic II button again to select this mode.
C Centre width, enables you to spread the centre channel into the front left and right speakers.
Adjust the value in the range 0-7 using Volume +/-.
D Dimension, enables you to adjust the sound balance from the front to the back to suit your taste.
Adjust the value in the range 0-6 using Delay +/-.
MATRIX Creates surround sound from a mono source.
Applying acoustic effects
Your DAP-601ES is equipped with a sound field processor that provides five different preset acoustic effects designed to alter
the sound to simulate playback in different types of building: Hall, Theatre, Stadium, Club, and Church. Note that these
acoustic effects can only be applied to stereo sources when Pro Logic II is switched off. Push the Acoustics button to display
the current setting. Push it again and repeat to select any of these effects or the Disable setting, which removes any acoustic
effects.
You can also increase or decrease the reverb value from 0-9 by pressing Volume +/-on the remote control whilst you are
selecting the acoustic effect.
Adjusting the frequency equalisation
Your DAP-601ES features a 5-band equalizer which enables you to fine tune the sound of your favourite movie or music.
Note that these frequency settings are only available when Pro Logic II is switched off.
Press EQ setup and repeat to switch between the 5 bands (125 Hz, 370 Hz, 1250 Hz, 3700 Hz and 10500 Hz).
Each band of the equalizer enables you to adjust your desired volume to a maximum of +/-10 dB by pressing Volume +/-.
Press EQ on/off to switch the new EQ settings on or off.The bottom line of the display shows EQ when the EQ settings are on.

Adjusting bass distribution
The six LEDs on the front panel of your DAP-601ES represent the six discrete audio channels (Left, Right, Centre, Surround
Left, Surround Right and Sub). If a particular channel is active, the LED will light up in green. The LED will be red if that
particular channel carries low frequencies below 60, 90 or 120 Hz.
Pressing Bass Manager button enables you to select from four different bass configurations. These selections will distribute
the lower frequencies to different speakers as described below.
Press Volume +/- in any configuration to adjust the frequency threshold between 60, 90 or 120 Hz.
BASS CONFIG. 1 The frequencies below the set level will be passed to the subwoofer and the SW LED will be red.
BASS CONFIG. 2 The frequencies below the set level will be passed to front left and right speakers and the subwoofer and
the L, R and SW LEDs will be red.
BASS CONFIG. 3 The frequencies below the set level will be sent to front, rear speakers and subwoofer and the L, R, SL,
SR and SW LEDs on the front panel will be red.
BASS CONFIG. OFF The frequencies below the set level will be sent to all the speakers; all six LEDs on front panel will be red.
Applying DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)
Your DAP-601ES features Dynamic Range Compression (DRC), this helps to equalise the volume range, for example, in a
movie soundtrack which has dialogue and explosions happening at the same time, DRC will equalise the range by boosting
the dialogue and reducing the explosions so the dialogue can be heard more easily.
Push the DRC button to display the current mode. Push it again and repeat to switch the between the following three modes:
NO No compression is applied to the original audio signal, this provides the greatest dynamic range.
HALF Partial compression is applied.
FULL Full compression is applied.
Switching channels on and off
You can switch channels on and off using the three channel buttons. If a particular channel is active, the appropriate LED on
