AM Indoor Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna
terminals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for
example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the
direction which gives the best reception, as far away as
possible from the system, speaker cords and the power
cord, to prevent unwanted noise.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (because you are too far from the
transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be
necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an
insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end,
and connect this to the terminal as shown.
For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a
reliable ground.
Note : Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.

SURROUND EFFECTS
When you use the surround function, the sound creates a
“live” atmosphere such as that experienced in movie
theaters, disco, stadium and concert halls.
This unit is provided with the following surround
modes, which can be selected using the SURROUND MODE
switches. Select the appropriate SURROUND MODE
according to the program source.
Surround Modes
3 STEREO
Front speakers receive rear (surround) speaker signals in
addition to front speakers signals. Center speaker works
similarly as that of Dolby Pro Logic mode. In this way, you can
enjoy playback sound having superior sound positioning
without using rear channel speakers.
HALL Surround
When playing recordings of live music, this mode provides a
feeling similar to actually being in a concert hall. When this
mode is selected, the normal program source is directed to
the main speakers and a reverberated sound is directed to the
surround speakers. This mode is suited to program sources
which contain a large amount of reverberation.
THEATER Surround
This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that
of movie theater. With this mode, you can enjoy a surround
effect similer to Dolby Surround sound even when playing a
video program which is not encoded with the Dolby Surround
system.
DISCO Surround
Gives a greatly expanded feel to powerful music such as
dance or rock.
STADIUM Surround
The reverberation of this mode produces a sound field which
recreates the sound of a stadium.
CHURCH Surround
This mode provides the reverberant ambiance of a church,
which can enhance choral work, as well as adding a rich
ambient effect to “dry” studio recordings.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
Use this mode when playing movie or music video software
which carries the DOLBY SURROUND mark.
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater or
live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can only
be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND.
The main feature of DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND is that
the separation between the various channels is significantly
improved from the 3 dB of previous systems to 26-40 dB.
As a result, the effect of the front/back/ left/right movement of
the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the
sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.
In addition, movie dialogue and other sounds which should
naturally be heard from the center are output through an
independent center channel, providing a high degree of focus
for dialogue.
DTS (Digital Theater System)
Allows you to enjoy 5.1 (or 6) discrete channels of high
quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing the
“ “ or “HIGH DEFINITION SURROUND” trademark
such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital
Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio
(which means identical to the original masters) and results
in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360˚ soundfield.
The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.
Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
Note : The DTS program sources should be played back in
the DTS mode. If not, it will sound like continuous
noise.
DOLBY DIGITAL Surround
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital
program source. If you connect a DVD player or an LD
player with a DOLBY DIGITAL output to the DOLBY DIGITAL
input jack on a surround receiver/amplifier or surround
processor and play DVD or laser discs with ( ) mark,
you can enjoy evenbetter sound quality, greater spatial
accuracy, and improved dynamic range. This is because
Dolby Digital delivers up to 5 totally discrete, full frequency
audio channels (front left and right, center, and surround left
and right), plus 0.1 channel called LFE* (bass-only effects
channel).
Dolby Digital is a system developed by Dolby Laboratories
that transmits 5.1 channels of digital signals. The surround
system developed for movie theaters using this system is
called “Dolby SR-D “Surround Digital”. Because each
channel is completely independent, a realistic sound field
with a “three-dimensional” feel is achieved which gives the
sound a sense of distance, movement and relative position,
creating a surprisingly real and powerful sense of presence.
Some Dolby Digital programs carry information that allow
you to compress the dynamic range of sound track, without
degrading the sound quality, for softer sound effects when
you listen late at night.
* LFE = Low Frequency Extension
This channel delivers separate non-directional bass
signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects.

SURROUND EFFECTS
Speaker Positioning
This installation positions of speakers differ according to
the size, and acoustics of the listening room. While
actually listening to a program source, try various
speaker positions to determine which layout provides
the best surround effect.
Speaker layout example when using SURROUND
MODE
Front speakers : Place to the front left and right of the
listening position. Front speakers are
required for all surround modes.
Center speaker : Place directly above or below the
television. This speaker stabilizes the
sound image and helps recreate
sound motion. Be sure to connect a
center speaker when using the 3
STEREO mode.
Rear speakers : Place left and right behind the
listening area.
These speakers recreate sound
motion and atmosphere. Required
for surround playback.
For best results, do not install the
rear speakers too far behind the
listening position and install them at
or above the level of the listener’s
ears. It is also effective to direct the
rear speakers towards a wall or
ceiling to further disperse the
sound.
Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass
sounds. A Subwoofer is not required
but may be added as an option.

Speaker Configuration
It is important to perform speaker configuration prior to
using the decoder. This allows the unit to sense the
available speakers and automatically select decoding
modes. It is possible to receive multi-channel surround
sound without a center speaker, but for best results with
DTS, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital decoding, at least 5
speakers (Left, Center, Right, Left Rear and Right Rear)
should be used.
1. Each press of the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
button will change the desired Speaker Configuration
shown on the display. (ex.: “F-LARGE”, “F-SMALL”,
“C-LARGE”, “C-NONE”, “S-LARGE” etc.)
2. Use the ADJUST ( ) buttons to set the appropriate
status.
CENTER SPEAKER Mode
-LARGE : Use this mode with a large center speaker.
The center channel’s output is full range.
-SMALL : Use this mode with a small center speaker.
-NONE : Use this mode if there is no center speaker.
The center channel signal will be divided between
the front L and R speakers.
REAR (SURROUND) SPEAKER Mode
-LARGE : Choose if a large speaker is used or if a
subwoofer is connected in parallel.
The rear channels output will be full range.
-SMALL : Choose if small speakers are used.
When using small speakers, it is recommened that a
powered Subwoofer be added to play low frequencies.
FRONT SPEAKER Mode
-LARGE : Choose if large speakers are installed.
Front channel output will be full range.
-SMALL : Choose if compact speakers are used.
Note : When LFE/Bass Out is set for FRONT, the
front channels full range is output to the front
speakers even if the front speaker mode is set to
SMALL.
