Getting started  
Putting batteries in the remote control  
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.  
Before installation  
General Precautions  
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.  
• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.  
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.  
1 Press and slide the  
battery cover on the back  
of the remote control.  
Locations  
• Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from moisture.  
• The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C.  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation  
could cause overheating and damage the unit.  
2 Insert batteries.  
Make sure to match the polarity:  
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
Handling the unit  
• 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.  
3 Replace the cover.  
• 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.  
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.  
Checking the supplied accessories  
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.  
The number in parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece  
supplied.  
CAUTION:  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:  
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
• Remote control (1)  
• Batteries (2)  
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may  
differ in voltage.  
• AM (MW) loop antenna (1)  
• FM antenna (1)  
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.  
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.  
• SCART cable (1)  
• Digital coaxial cord (1)  
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the  
remote sensor on the front panel.  
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

NOTE  
When using the DVD MULTI playback, use the same DVD player  
connected to this receiver by a SCART cable. If you connect a  
different DVD player, the mixed sound from front left and right  
channels are reproduced.  
Connecting the power cord  
Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.  
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.  
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference.  
We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.  
NOTE  
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases:  
– When you unplug the power cord.  
– When a power failure occurs.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.  
• Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord when disconnecting it, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other  
accidents.

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  
I DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes  
• DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes  
• All Channel Stereo  
I Surround modes  
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.  
• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
on the display.  
PLII indicator lights up  
Dolby Digital*  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding (1 channel up to 5.1 channel).  
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 7.)  
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 7.)

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  
the display.  
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).
