Getting started
Putting batteries in the remote control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
Precautions
General precautions
• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
• DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a heating
device.
1 Press and slide the
buttery cover on the bac k
of the remote control.
Locations
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from
moisture and dust.
2 Insert batteries.
If water gets inside the unit, turn off the power and remove the plug
from the outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the unit in this state
may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold
between 5˚C and 35˚C
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Do not install the unit in a place subject to vibrations.
3 Replace the co ver.
Handling the receiver
• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the
cord.
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued use.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM or AM (MW) channels and
sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period
or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of
power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the
wall outlet.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
To prevent the malfunction
• There are no user-servicable parts inside. If anything goes wrong,
unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins,
etc, into the unit.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the
remote sensor on the front panel.
• Do not block the vents. Blocking the vents may damage the unit.
RX-ES1SL
To clean the cabinet
• Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the use of
chemically-coated cloths.
• Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and
disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.

Speaker settings
To obtain the best possible surround effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 28 to 33), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer
information after all the connections are completed.You can set the speaker information using one of the following three methods.
Smart Surround Setup: Set the speakers information automatically by one simple action—clapping hands. The delay time and output level for
the center and surround speakers are set automatically.
Quick Setup:
Set the speakers and subwoofer information quickly by entering the use of the subwoofer, the number of the speakers,
and your room size.
Manual Setup:
Set the speakers and subwoofer information manually.
• Before starting the speaker setting, connect and position the speakers and subwoofer (see page 7) and turn on the receiver.
3 Confirm “SETTING UP” stops flashing and clap
Setting the speakers information
your hands over your head once while “SETTING
UP” appears on the display.
automatically—Smart Surround Setup
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible sound effect for the
Surround/DSP modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time (see also page 18).
By using Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output
level are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping
hands.
The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming
through all speakers (except the subwoofer).
After detecting the sound, one of the following indications appears
on the display.
SUCCESSFUL:
Sound of your clapping is successfully
detected. The receiver sets the delay time
and the output level of the center and
surround speakers automatically.
The receiver cannot detect sound from some
speakers.
• To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center
and surround speakers.
SILENT:
• You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect
attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page
18).
SILENT-ALL:
FAILED:
The receiver cannot detect any sound from all
speakers.
The receiver cannot detect both right and left
channels for the front and/or surround
speakers correctly.
• When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.
From the remote control ONLY:
• When the receiver cannot detect the sound correctly (“SILENT,”
“SILENT-ALL” or “FAILED” appears on the display), “SETTING
UP” appears on the display again then repeat step 3.

Setting the speaker delay time
Setting the crossover frequency—CROSS
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you
use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically
reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to
the large speakers.
To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level
according to the size of the small speaker connected.
• If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 17),
this function will not take effect.
— CNTR DL (center speaker delay),
SURR DL (surround speakers delay)
You can set the speaker delay time easily by using Smart Surround
Setup (see page 15) or Quick Setup (see page 16).
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible surround sound for the
Surround modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time.
• 1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to (30 cm)
increase (or decrease) in distance.

Creating realistic sound fields
Reproducing theater ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to
reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all
directions.
Introducing the Surround/DSP modes
You can use the following Surround/DSP modes with this receiver.
I Surround modes
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement
can be expressed.
• Dolby Pro Logic II
• Dolby Digital
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the
same surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.
• DTS

Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel playback
format to decode all 2 channel sources—stereo source and Dolby
Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes
no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and
enables stereo surround sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:
Pro Logic II Movie—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround
DOLBY SURROUND
encoded sources bearing the mark
.You can enjoy a
sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1 channel
sounds.
Pro Logic II Music—suitable for reproduction of any 2-channel stereo
music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this
mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be selected, which gives
“wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image.

Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method records and digitally
compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel,
left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel
signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1
channel. Therefore, it is called 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source
component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver.
(See page 8.)
NOTE
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
—multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sound while playing Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you
can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Creating realistic sound fields
The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:
DTS**
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding.
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate, which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid and clear sound.
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect
the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 8.)
LIVE CLUB:
DANCE CLUB:
HALL:
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club
with a low ceiling.
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance
club.
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a hall for
classical recitals.
PAVILION:
Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition
hall.
These DAP modes can be used to add acoustic surround effects
while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analogue or
Linear PCM digital signal, and can give you a real “being there”
feeling.
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights
up on the display.
I DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic
surround elements.
All Channel Stereo
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the
connected (and activated) speakers.
The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists of
direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from
behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any
reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the
distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram below).
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic
surround effects. The DAP mode can create these important
elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround
speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the
center speaker connection.
• If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of
the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the
center speaker.
Reflections from behind
Early reflections
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo
software, either analogue or Linear PCM digital signal.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on

Direct sounds
DAP modes can be used when the front and surround speakers
are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center
speaker connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker
even if it is connected).

different discs, depending on the numbers of groups (folders)
and tracks (files) recorded, etc.
Operations
The player can play back MP3 files and WMA files on a home
recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer
to a disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as an “MP3/WMA
disc” in this manual.
Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG
files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the
[MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display
(see page 56).
• You cannot advance or reverse playback by pressing ¡or
1, or by holding down ¢or 4 during MP3/WMA disc
playback.
• The player supports WMA files recorded with a bit rate of 48
kbps or higher. The player cannot play back WMA files recorded
with a bit rate under 48 kbps.
About MP3/WMA discs
On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track).
Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
• Each file is regarded as a track.
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
• The player recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99
groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files,
they also count in the 150-file total.
Selecting the desired group and track
When inserting an MP3/WMA disc, after the disc contents are
read, the MP3/WMA CONTROL display automatically appears on
the TV screen.
You can specify the desired group/track from the display using

Additional information
Appendix D: Glossary
Aspect ratio
MP3
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.
It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional
TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data
reduction of about 1:10.
Bitstream
MPEG
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual infromation.
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based
on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts
Group.
Chapter/title
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on
DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track
for Video CD or Audio CD.
MPEG Multichannel
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on
the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1
channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie
theater experience in your own home.
Component video
Video signals with three channels of separate information that
makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,
such as R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in Western
Europe.
Composite video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization
information.
PBC
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling
disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the
disc through menus.
Dolby Digital (AC3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,
right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a
sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital
domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of
information.
RGB
An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and
color television sets display different hues by mixing these three
colors.
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in
two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the
original four channels for playback. Because the audio is
recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a
two-channel stereo system.
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side
processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering
the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and
adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is
enhanced channel separation.
S-video
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV
monitors, etc.
Track
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
WMA
WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” and is an
audio data compression format developed by Microsoft
Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is
the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller
than that of MP3.
Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output
connectors.
DTS
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six
(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,
either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for
Digital Theater Systems.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dynamic range
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.
JPEG
A popular file format for still image compression and storage.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.
• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.
• progressive JPEG: used for the web
• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
Linear PCM audio
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual
method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is
used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.
