DOLBY Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo are top-level surround modes that can reproduce the world of 3-

dimensional audio.

Built in sub woofer (XD-951/XD-A900 only)

(

Each 3-way speaker incorporates an additional sub woofer to reproduce heavy bass more powerfully than

conventional system speakers.

3D Wide FL display

The easy to see graphical display features a large spectrum analyzer. A running indicator shows the opera-

tions such as CD playback and skipping at a glance.

Easy to operate, new multi control jog dial

The jog dial makes possible easy setup of CD playback, timer recording/playback and other operations while

monitoring the displayed information. The same operation is also available on the remote control unit.

Prpasection

Three discs can be set. There are various ways for enjoyment at the time of program playback, repeat

playback, random playback, etc.

Demonstration

To switch over the demonstration:

When the power supply is restored after a power failure or the power

cord is unplugged and plugged in again during use, this unit auto-

matically starts the demonstration function (display only). During the

demonstration, the display changes in sequence but the audio does

not change. The demonstration can be canceled with the following

procedure.

Turn the unit OFF (STANDBY mode) and

press the key.

Each press of the key switches the demon-

stration as shown below.

Basection

and their sound cannot be heard.

Unpacking

Unpack the unit carefully and make sure that all accessories are put aside so they will not be lost.

Examine the unit for any possibility of shipping damage. If your unit is damaged or fails to operate, notify your dealer immediately. If your

unit was shipped to you directly, notify the shipping company without delay. Only the consignee (the person or company receiving the

unit) can file a claim against the carrier for shipping damage.

We recommend that you retain the original carton and packing materials for use should you transport or ship the unit in the future.

It is recommended that the surround speakers are installed

straight to the left and right of the listening position or slightly

behind, at a height of about 1 meter higher than the listener’s

ears. Each surround speaker should be installed so that the

longer sides are horizontal.

The surround speakers can be hung on a wall.

When hanging the surround speakers, select a rigid and hard

place on the wall which can withstand the weight of the speak-

ers.

1. Attach the provided mounting hardware onto the rear panel of each

speaker using the provided screw. (Except for CRS-N551)

2. Install a screw, which is commercially available, with sufficient

strength on the wall. When screwing in, leave the head and upper

stem of the screw projected by 7 to 9 mm from the wall surface.

3. Mounteachspeakerbyhookinguptheholeofthespeakerrearpanel

to the floor condition, apply the provided stabilizer (cushions)

on four positions on the bottom of each speaker. (Except for

CRS-N551)

DSP (Digital Signal Processor) playback

The DSP mode uses the digital processing capability of the DSP to create the reverberation components (factors of sound

reflections in a variety of spaces), that determine the feeling of presence, without altering the quality of the music source.

DSP mode

The DSP mode creates the ambiance of a hall, disco or live house from any kind of program source. This mode is particularly effective

when listening to a stereo program source such as a CD, TV and FM broadcasting. Although the DSP mode can create a simulated stereo

surround effect from a monaural source, the proper effect may not be obtained depending on the played software.

then select by turning the MULTI CONTROL jog dial in place of press-

ing the “@#” key of the remote control unit.
