FOR U.S.A. AND CANADA ......................................120 V  
FOR OTHER COUNTRIES........................... 115 V/230 V  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
Units shipped to countries other than the above  
countries are equipped with an AC voltage selector  
switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following  
paragraph for the proper setting of this switch.  
Units shipped to the U.S.A. and Canada are  
designed for operation on 120 Volts AC only.  
Observe all safety precautions for use of a polarized  
AC plug. However, some products may be supplied  
with a non polarized plug.  
AC VOLTAGE SELECTION  
This unit operates on 115/230 V AC. The AC voltage  
selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage  
that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped.  
Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet,  
make sure that the setting position of this switch  
matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to  
your voltage in accordance with the following  
direction.  
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide  
blade of plug to wide slot, insert fully.  
FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA ..........230V/240V  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
AC voltage selector switch  
Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation  
on 240 V AC only.  
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied  
must be inserted only into a standard three-pin  
power point which is effectively earthed through the  
normal household wiring. Extension cords used with  
the equipment must be three-core and be correctly  
wired to provide connection to earth.  
AC 230 V  
AC 115 V  
Improper extension cords are a major cause of  
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates  
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is  
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.  
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective  
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified  
electrician.  
Move switch lever to match your line voltage with a  
PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE  
All units are suitable for use on supplies 230-240 V  
AC.

System Connections  
When making system connections, please be certain the AC cord is not plugged into an AC outlet.  
When making connections between components, please be sure to connect the white RCA plugs to the L (left) and the red  
RCA plugs to the R (right) jacks respectively.  
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best possible reception of your favorite FM stations.  
A 75 Ohm outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception. Disconnect the indoor antenna before  
connecting the outdoor antenna.  
Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a  
direction for the best reception.  
If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.  
Make all connections firmly and correctly. Failure to do so can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.  
If the electricity fails or the AC cord is left unplugged for about two weeks, all operating parameters in the unit’s memory  
will be lost. Should this happen, you must enter them again.

COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT  
• This unit incorporates COMPONENT as well as S and composite(normal) VIDEO jacks.  
• For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows: “COMPONENT” > “S” > “COMPOSITE”.  
• When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y” to “Y”, “CB” to “CB” (or “B-Y”, “PB”) and “CR” to “CR”(or “R-Y”,  
“PR”).  
• Signals inputted into the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks will be outputted in only the MONITOR COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.  
• A signal inputted into the composite(normal) VIDEO IN jack will be outputted in the composite(normal) VIDEO OUT jacks.  
However, in case of S-VIDEO signal, a signal inputted into the S-VIDEO IN jack will be outputted in the S-VIDEO OUT jacks and the  
MONITOR composite(normal) VIDEO OUT jack besides.  
■
Notes  
• The on-screen display function and recording the component video signals are not available when using the COMPONENT VIDEO  
connections.  
• When Sherwood DVD player such as V-756, etc. is connected to the DIGI LINK jack for system control, you should connect the DVD  
player to the "VIDEO 2" jacks of this unit.  
Because, if the PLAY button, etc. is pressed on the DVD player, the VIDEO 2 is automatically selected as an input source on this unit  
and the playback, etc. starts.

• The speaker terminals are designed to accept either  
bare wire or banana plugs.  
• If using bare wire, take care to not allow the + and -  
wires to touch or short.  
• Use these jacks when adding additional amplifiers.  
• Connect the PRE OUT jacks to the powered speakers or the power  
amplifiers connected to speakers respectively.  
• Connect the speaker wires firmly and correctly  
according to the channel and position. Observe the  
proper polarity (+ and -).  
• To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered subwoofer.  
• Only in case of enjoying 6.1 channels of digital audio, make the rear  
center connections between the audio equipment.  
• To reproduce the center rear signal in 6.1 channel  
material, connect a rear center speaker. Otherwise the  
center rear speaker is not necessary.  
• This receiver is designed for use with speakers rated at  
8 ohms impedance or above.

ENTERING A SETUP CODE  
• This remote control can control up to eight different components.  
• Before operating audio and video components using the remote control supplied with this unit, the setup code for each  
component must be entered.  
• For system remote control operation, because “0001” is stored previously in the memory of the component button “AUD”  
as its factory setup code for this receiver, “0004” in the memory of “AUX” for Sherwood tape deck, “1068” in the memory  
of “CD” for Sherwood CD player and “0633” in the memory of “DVD” for Sherwood DVD player such as V-756, etc.,  
entering its code for each Sherwood component is not necessary except in case that its code does not work.  
However, for Sherwood MD recorder such as MD-7900R, etc., “0005” should be stored in the memory of “AUX” button  
and for some Sherwood DVD player such as VD-4106, etc., “0591” as a setup code for DVD player should be stored in the  
memory of “DVD” button.  
Note: These codes for Sherwood components, including this receiver, are not listed in “MANUFACTURER’S CODES” in  
the operating manual of this remote control.  
Turn on the component you want to  
control.  
Find the setup codes according to the type  
and the brand name of your component,  
referring to “MANUFACTURER’S  
CODES” in the operating manual of this  
remote control.

the SETUP button.

SURROUND SOUND  
This unit incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound quality  
and sound atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.  
Surround modes  
This unit has 9 different surround modes to allow you to enjoy surround sound with various program sources:  
DTS, DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC, THEATER, HALL, STADIUM, CHURCH, 6.1 CH SURROUND,  
TruSurround.  
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 “  
” trademark such as laser  
discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6  
channels of transparent audio(which are identical to the original masters) and  
results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360˚ sound field.  
Manufactured under license from Digital Theater Systems, Inc. US Pat. No. 5,451,942 and other world-wide  
patents issues and pending. “DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.  
© 1996 Digital Theater Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.  
Note : The DTS program sources should be played back in the DTS mode. If not, no sound or sound like continuous  
noise will be heard.  
DOLBY DIGITAL : Allows you to enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program  
sources bearing the “  
” trademark such as laser discs, DVD’s etc.  
Dolby Digital provides better sound quality, improved dynamic range and great sense of  
direction, compared with the conventional Dolby surround. Now, you are able to enjoy real  
Home Theater sound in your home.  
DOLBY PRO LOGIC : This unit incorporates the Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder which has the same functions  
for playback as movie theaters and gives a theater-like experience in your home, naturally  
reproducing the audio sound field. Use with Dolby Pro Logic program sources bearing the  
“
” trademark such as video cassette tapes or laser discs.  
Manufactured under licence from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are  
trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. Confidential Unpublished Works. © 1992-1997 Dolby Laboratories. All rights  
reserved.  
THEATER : This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater when watching a movie source that has a stereo  
sound track.  
HALL : This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall for classical music sources such as orchestral, chamber  
music or an instrumental solo.  
STADIUM: This mode provides an expansive sound field. For sources like a rock concert or athletic event you can  
enjoy a true stadium effect.  
CHURCH: This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque, string orchestral and choral group music.  
6.1 CH SURROUND : This mode extracts the rear center signal from the rear left and right signals and reproduce  
it as well as the original multichannel signals during playback of 5.1 CH program sources  
such as DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.  
TruSurround: TruSurround employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion of five “phantom”  
speakers. Therefore, this mode allows you to experience a realistic multichannel experience from  
any multichannel audio source and a original three-dimensional sound field from any stereo audio  
source, through just a single pair of front speakers.  
TruSurround and the symbol are trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc. TruSurround technology is incorporated  
under license from SRS Labs, Inc.  
When the 6.1 CH DIRECT INPUTS are connected to the 6.1(or 6) CH decoder for a surround sound(such as Dolby  
Digital or DTS, etc.), you can enjoy the corresponding surround sound, too. (For details, see the operator’s manual  
of the component to be connected.)

Delay time  
When the (front)center speaker or the rear speakers is(are) closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound  
form the (front)center speaker or the rear speakers can arrive at the listener’s ears earlier than the sound from the  
front speakers.  
In this case, the imaging is not as sharp and stable as it could be.  
For audible improvement, the sound from (front)center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting  
to synchronize the sound from the front and the (front)center speakers and the sound from the rear speakers can be  
also delayed with the rear delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers will be heard at  
the same time.  
The optimum delay time depends on the speaker placement in your room.  
It is adjustable in Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic modes only.(For details, refer to “In Dolby Digital or  
Dolby Pro Logic mode, adjusting delay times of the speakers” on page 21.)  
Speaker placement  
To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as  
follows;  
Front speakers: Place each front speaker about 1 m (40 ) from the TV set.  
Front Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to  
assure a good match between the audio and video of the center channel program.  
Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1 m above the ear level of a  
seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.  
Subwoofer: Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered subwoofer  
anywhere in the front as desired.  
Rear center speaker: Place the rear center speaker behind a seated listener at even  
level with the rear speakers.  
The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.( However, the rear  
center speaker can be used for 6.1 CH Surround(as a surround mode) or 6.1 CH  
DIRECT(as an input source) only.)  
To accurately reproduce DTS digital surround, center and rear speakers as well as  
front speakers should be full range speakers.  
To enjoy the surround sound best, the speakers to be connected are as follows;

In the Dolby Digital mode, the optimum performance of  
your system occurs when the sound from all five speakers  
arrives at your primary listening position at the same time.  
If all speakers are equidistant from the main listening  
position, set the following delay.  
(Front) center delay time: 0 mS, Rear delay time: 0 mS  
If the (front) center speaker is closer to your prime  
listening position than the average distance to the left and  
right main speakers add 1 mS of (front) center channel  
delay for each foot of difference. The maximum is 5 mS.  
If the surround speakers are closer to your main listening  
position than the main left and right speakers add 5 mS  
of surround channel delay for each 5 feet of difference.  
The maximum is 15 mS.  
In Dolby Pro Logic mode, rear channel delay can be  
adjusted to add spaciousness to the presentation and to  
minimize any sibilant leakage into the surround channels.  
If the surround speakers are the same distance from your  
primary listening position as your main left and right front  
speakers, set the Rear Delay time at 15 mS.  
If the surround speakers are closer to your main listening  
position than the main left and right speakers, your receiver  
allows you to optimize the arrival time of the sound from  
your speakers. This can help focus the audio image and add  
enjoyment to your home theater experience.

Using the OSD  
This unit incorporates an OSD(On-screen display) function to provide information about basic operation of this unit and to  
simplify the setup procedures.  
The OSD function uses a monitor TV connected to this unit as a display and has two kinds of display modes such as current  
status display and menu screen.

available.  
Any on-screen display shown on the monitor TV will not be recorded onto VIDEO 1.  
In some countries, this unit allows you to select either NTSC or PAL color system as video format.  
If it is different from your video components, video softwares, etc., in the standby mode, press the STANDBY  
button while keeping the AUTO/MANUAL button pressed on the front panel, then the video format is changed  
to the NTSC or the PAL color system.  
However, it is fixed to NTSC color system in other countries.
