There are three types of video jacks(COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, (composite) VIDEO) for connecting video components.  
Connect them to the corresponding video jacks according to their capability.  
For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows : COMPONENT> S-VIDEO> (composite) VIDEO.  
When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect Yto Y, PB/CBto CB(or B-Y, PB) and PR/CRto CR(or R-  
Y, PR).  
When connecting to video recording component such as video deck, DVD recorder, etc., you must use the same type of video  
jacks that you did connect to video playback components such as DVD player, LD player, etc.  
This unit is equipped with a function that up-converts composite video or S-Video signals to component video signals or down-  
converts S-Video signals to composite video signals and outputs them from the MONITOR OUTs. Because of this, one of  
three types of MONITOR OUT jacks can be connected to the monitor TV regardless of how the video components are  
connected to VIDEO IN jacks of this unit.  
Connect the video components, referring to the following table.

Speaker placement  
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room  
and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement  
and recommendations are as follows :  
TV or SCREEN  
1
CENTER  
SUBWOOFER  
Front left and right speakers and center speaker  
Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or  
monitor screen as possible.  
FRONT (LEFT)

Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers  
and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.  
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the  
listeners ears when at the main listening position.

Surround back speaker  
SURROUND  
BACK  
Place the surround back speaker at the rear center facing the front at  
a slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.  
We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly  
downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back  
channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center,  
resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the  
front to the back less sharp.

Subwoofer  
The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.  
Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.  
60 to 90 cm  
Notes :  
When using a conventional TV , to avoid interference with the TV  
picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center  
speakers.  
To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the  
subwoofer should be full range speakers.

Speaker Setup  
• After you have installed this receiver and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the  
optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.  
• Even when you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of your listening environment, you should adjust the  
speaker settings, too.  
About the speaker size  
• Depending or relationship between speakers, settings  
possible for each speaker are as follows:  
The composition of the signals output from the different  
channels and the frequency response are adjusted automatically  
according to the combination of speakers actually being used.  
• Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of  
the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing  
low frequency (bass sound below frequency set for the  
Crossover Frequency mode and below) signals.

from speakers which are set to Large(when not using a  
subwoofer).  
Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers to be connected. If  
the frequency range of your speaker is 100 Hz ~ 20 kHz, the crossover  
frequency have to be set to 100 Hz(or slightly higher).  
If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting  
the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to  
determine the proper setting.

About the speaker distance  
When enjoying multi-channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, etc., it is ideal that the center and  
surround speakers, etc. should be the same distance from the main listening position as the front speakers. By entering the  
distance between the listening position and each speaker, the delay times of center and surround speakers are automatically  
adjusted to create an ideal listening environment virtually as if the center and surround speakers were at their ideal locations  
respectively as below:

SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP AUTOMATICALLY (AUTO SPEAKER SETUP)  
Auto Speaker Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound.  
You should connect the microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information from a series of  
test tones emitted from speakers and can adjust the size, distance and sound level of each speaker automatically.  
If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the  
SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP MANUALLYprocedure on page 20, Adjusting each channel level with test tone”  
procedure on page 32 and Adjusting the current channel levelprocedure on page 33.  
Note:  
Because the microphone for Auto Speaker Setup is designed for use with this receiver, to use the auto speaker setup  
function, do not use a microphone other than the one supplied with this receiver.  
Before setting the speaker setup  
• Press the POWER switch to enter the standby mode and then turn the power on.

SURROUND SOUND  
This receiver incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound quality and sound  
atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.  
Surround modes  
• DTS Neo : 6 Cinema  
DTS Digital Surround  
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is  
performed with emphasis on separation performance to  
achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with  
6.1-channel sources.  
DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-  
channel digital signal format which can handle higher data  
rates. Discs bearing the “  
include the recording of  
up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can be generally  
thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio  
compression required.  
It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting  
in magnificent sound.  
• DTS Neo : 6 Music  
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left  
and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played  
directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of  
the surround signals from the center, surround left, surround  
right and surround back channels adds a natural sense of  
expansion to the sound field.  
DTS - ES Extended Surround™ (

This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly  
improves the 360- degree surround impression and space  
expression thanks to further expanded surround signals,  
offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format.  
In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround  
also offers the surround back (sometimes also referred to as  
surround center) channel for surround playback with a total  
of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two  
signal formats with different surround signal recording  
methods as follows:  
DTS 96/24  
Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of  
48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback  
signal frequency. With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is  
increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency  
range of over 40 kHz. In addition, this format has a resolution  
of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic  
range as 96kHz / 24 bit PCM signals.  
As with conventional DTS surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible  
with a maximum of 5.1 channels. DTS 96/24 is fully  
compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so  
DTS 96/24 sources can be played using a conventional DTS  
5.1 channel decoder.  
• DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1  
Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround back  
channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense  
that the acoustic image are moving about freely among the  
background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees.  
Though maximum performance is achieved when sound  
tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES  
decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the  
surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed  
to the surround left and surround right channels so that none  
of the signal components are lost.

Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format  
developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the

With this format, the additional surround back channel  
signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the  
surround left and surround right channels beforehand. During  
playback, they are decoded to the surround left, surround  
right and surround back channels.  
digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound  
quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range characteristics  
than the previous Dolby Surround effect.  
Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with  
conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1  
format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel signal  
sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 -  
channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder.  
When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are decoded  
with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is automatically detected  
upon decoding and the optimum surround mode is selected.  
However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected  
as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix mode  
should be selected manually to play these sources.  
Dolby Digital EX  
This mode creates the back (sometimes also referred to as  
surround center) signals from the surround left and right  
signals in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel source using a matrix  
decoder and provides 6.1 channel surround playback. For the  
best results, this mode should be selected during playback of  
DOLBY  
sources(bearing the “  
) recorded in Dolby Digital  
EX. With this additional channel, you can experience more  
dynamic and realistic moving sound especially.  
When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby  
Digital EX decoder, the format is automatically detected upon  
decoding and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected.  
However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected as  
Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX mode  
should be selected manually to play these sources.  
DTS Neo : 6™ surround  
This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as  
digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital  
matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-  
channel surround playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two  
modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.

as two front speakers, allowing you to experience listening  
from 5.1 channel speakers.  
This mode is effective not only for 5.1 channel sources but  
also for stereo(2 channel) sources.  
Theater

• Depending on the speaker setting and surround mode, etc., some channels cannot be selected.  
• When the SPEAKER button is set to off, only the front L/R channel can be selected.  
Adjust the level of the selected channel as desired.  
• The LFE level can be adjusted within the range of  
-10~0 dB and other channel levels within the range  
of -15~+15 dB.  
• In general, we recommend the LFE level to be  
adjusted to 0 dB.(However, the recommended LFE  
level for some early DTS software is -10 dB.) If the  
recommended levels seem too high, lower the setting  
as necessary.

OTHER FUNCTIONS  
Compressing the dynamic range (Dolby Digital sources only)  
• This function compresses the dynamic range of  
previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital sound  
track(with extremely high volume) to minimize the  
difference in volume between the specified and non-  
specified parts.  
This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track when  
watching movies at night at low levels.  
• When the digital signals from Dolby Digital program  
source are input in available surround mode.  
• Each time this button is pressed, the mode changes  
and the display scrolls.  
DYNR 0.0 : Off  
DYNR 0.5 : Low compression  
DYNR 1.0 : High compression  
• In some Dolby Digital softwares, this function may  
not be available.

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.  
Notes: • Any on-screen display shown on the monitor TV will not be recorded.  
• Because this unit cannot support the OSD function for the progressively scanned video signal, the OSD for current status  
and menu settings may be displayed abnormally or may not be displayed.  
CURRENT STATUS DISPLAY  
This mode shows the status corresponding to each operation.  
The on-screen display will automatically disappear in several seconds.  
For examples, there are 2 status displays as follows.  
Notes  
When watching a movie earnestly, if you want to turn off the current status display function, set the OSD auto display mode to  
Off(For details, refer to When selecting the AUTO OSDon page 41)  
Current status display function might not operate as expected if :  
You view a movie via MONITOR COMPONENT OUTs while component video signals are input into this receiver.  
You view a movie via MONITOR COMPOSITE OUT while S-Video signals and composite video signals are input into this receiver.

• The test tone display will be shown until the test tone mode is canceled.  
OSD Menu Settings  
• The OSD menu allows you to perform the setup procedures easily. In most situations, you will only need to set this once during  
the installation and layout of your home theater, and it rarely needs to be changed later. The OSD menu consists of 5 main menus :  
speaker setup, function select, surround mode, CH level setup and auto OSD. Some of these menus are divided into sub-menus.  
• The OSD menu settings are performed easily with the CURSOR control(, , , ), OSD and ENTER buttons.  
Notes :  
• In such a case of making only COMPONENT VIDEO connections between this receiver and video component, while viewing a  
movie via the MONITOR COMPONENT OUTs, if the OSD menu operation is performed, the picture is automatically turned off  
and only the OSD menu is displayed.  
• When S-Video signals and composite video signals are input into this receiver, even though the OSD menu operation is performed,  
the OSD menu cannot be displayed via MONITOR COMPOSITE OUT.  
Turn the menu screen on.

SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP  
After you have installed this receiver and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the  
optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.  
Even when you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of your listening environment, you should adjust the  
speaker settings, too.

with this receiver, to use the auto speaker setup function, do not use a  
microphone other than the one supplied with this receiver.  
: MOVE  
OSD : BACK  
ENTER : SEL .  
When selecting the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP  
• Auto Speaker Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound.  
You should connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information from a  
series of test tones emitted from speakers and can adjust the size, distance and sound level of each speaker automatically.  
• If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the “When  
selecting the MANUAL SPEAKER SETUP” procedure on page 43, “Adjusting each channel level with test tone” procedure  
on page 32 and “Adjusting the current channel level”on page 33.  
Preparations  
1. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC  
jack on the rear panel,(For details, refer to  
2. Place the microphone on a flat level surface at your  
normal listening position.  
If possible, use a tripod, etc. to attach the microphone  
at the same height as your ears would be when you  
are seated in your listening position.
