INSTRUCTION MANUAL  
This instruction manual is for some models. Model availability and features (functions) may differ  
depending on the country and sales area.  
About the supplied remote control  
Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several  
operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In  
order to effectively use the remote control, it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain  
a proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.).  
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation  
modes may result in incorrect operations.

Infrared ray system  
Channel space switching  
(Except for the U.S.A., Canada and Australia)  
The space between radio channels has been set to the one that  
prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the  
current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area  
where the system is to be used, for instance when you move from  
area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper  
reception of AM/FM broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case,  
change the channel space setting in accordance with your area by  
referring to the following table.  
When pressing more than one remote control key successively, press  
the keys securely by leaving an interval of 1 second or more between  
keys.  
Notes  
1. The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries  
due to use during operation checks.  
2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before,  
replace both batteries with new ones.  
3. Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a  
high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause malfunction.  
In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent  
malfunction.

Setting up the system  
Make connections as shown in the following pages.  
When connecting the related system components, be sure  
to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the  
components you are connecting.  
Input mode settings  
CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks  
for digital audio input and analog audio input.  
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for CD/DVD,  
DVD/6CH, VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 3 are “FULL AUTO”.  
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the  
steps below.  
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all  
connections are completed.  
Notes  
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections  
are imperfect, sound may not be produced or there will be noise infer-  
ence.  
INPUT MODE  
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging  
or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection  
cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions  
and may damage the unit.  
CAUTION  
Do not connect power cords from components whose power  
consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the  
rear of this unit.  
INPUT  
SELECTOR  
Input Selector  
keys  
Analog connections  
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer  
stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal  
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually  
have 2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for  
the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the  
source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.  
Microcomputer malfunction  
INPUT MODE  
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even  
though all connections have been made properly, reset the  
microcomputer referring to “In case of difficulty”.  
E

Auto detect:  
In FULL AUTO mode ("AUTO DETECT" indicator lights up), the  
receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically.  
The receiver will select the input mode and listening mode auto-  
matically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby  
Digital, PCM, DTS) and the speaker setting.  
The "DIGITAL" indicator lights up when a digital signal is  
detected. The "DIGITAL" indicator is extinguished when no  
digital signal is detected.  
Fixed to digital input:  
Select this mode if you want to keep the decoding condition (Dolby  
Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) in the current listen mode.  
When DIGITAL MANUAL mode is selected, the set listen modes  
may be changed automatically depending on the input signal.  
Fixed to analog input:  
Select this setting to play analog signals from a VCR, etc.  
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be  
produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

For optimum results, place the Surround Back speakers together for

*For Surround Back speaker, you may place either two Surround Back  
speakers (Surround Back Left Speaker and Surround Back Right  
Speaker) for 7.1 channel surround sound system or one Surround  
Back Speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound system.  
• Sound will not be heard if the speaker terminal is not fully secured.  
Front (Left and Right) Speakers  
Place at the front left and right of the listening position. Front  
Speakers are required for all surround modes.  
Center Speaker  
Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and  
helps recreate sound motion.  
Surround (Left and Right) Speakers  
• Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.  
• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker  
cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural  
with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers  
correctly.  
Place at the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening  
position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the  
listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere.  
Subwoofer  
Speaker impedance  
Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the  
listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center  
speaker. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speak-  
ers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low  
frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)  
Surround Back Speaker/s  
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the  
rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching  
impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other  
than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in  
malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver.  
Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the  
same height as the left and right surround speakers.  
• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers  
listed above, if you don't have a Center speaker or a Subwoofer, you  
can divide those signals between the available speakers in the  
speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround  
reproduction from the speakers you have available.

Dolby Digital  
Dolby Virtual Speaker  
The Dolby Virtual Speaker features a virtual surround sound field.  
This implements an effect as if there are multiple speakers in the  
listening room.  
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels  
of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as  
Laserdisc or DVD software marked  
). Compared with previ-  
ous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality,  
greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.  
Dolby Headphone  
When headphones are used in music listening, the audio of the left  
(or right) channel reaches only the left (or right) ear so the listener  
cannot feel the presence of acoustic images on the front.  
The Dolby Headphone simulates a virtual room and include its  
acoustic characteristics in the left and right headphone signals. As a  
result, the listener can hear the same components as in speaker  
listening through the left and right years and therefore feel as if the  
sound source is located on the front of the listener.  
Dolby Digital EX  
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby  
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-chan-  
nel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three  
surround channels from the two in the original recording.  
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, surround  
left, surround right, and surround back, each driving its own array of  
speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers,  
which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you  
wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound,  
positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real  
life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie  
soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain  
a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for  
titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated  
manually.  
Because of the same processing in "Pro Logic II Movie mode with  
Dolby Headphone" and "Pro Logic II Game mode with Dolby Head-  
phone", their respective effectiveness is the same.  
DTS  
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD  
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside  
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen  
to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD,  
LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This  
noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a  
high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the  
digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this  
situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1  
channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a  
built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital  
output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.  
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.  
Although Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low  
frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep  
bass performance in the other surround modes.  
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being  
input for this channel.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense  
of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby  
Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software  
marked  
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in  
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding  
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs.  
DTS-ES  
DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1  
channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel  
which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system.  
DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two  
modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produces the discrete surround back  
which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces  
the surround back which synthesised within the left and right sur-  
round channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compat-  
ibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1  
channels surround with an additional surround back presents a more  
natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression  
of the sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using  
DTS-ES technology consist of information flags which will be able to  
control the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically  
select the best matched mode.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx enhanced Dolby Pro Logic II’s features.  
It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or  
5.1 channel signals. This feature provides you an astonishing ambi-  
ence effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural  
sound. Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back  
sound from Surround Back speakers.  
The Pro Logic IIx modes programmed into this model are “Movie”,  
“Music” and “Game”. The Pro Logic II modes programmed into this  
model are “Movie”, “Music”, “Game” and “Pro Logic”. The “Movie”  
mode has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level  
surround sound playback while the “Music” mode has user-adjust-  
able characteristics to offer the three optional controls, like “Dimen-  
sion”, “Center Width” and “Panorama” modes to allow optimization  
of the soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control allows the  
user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or  
towards the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various adjust-  
ment of the left-center-right speakers’ balance; the “Panorama”  
mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speak-  
ers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.  
The “Game” mode provides surrounded and exciting sound when  
you enjoy game or TV. Especially in Pro Logic IIx “Game” mode, base  
sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround channel  
is added to Subwoofer. This provides ever more dynamic surround  
effects.  
Neo:6  
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can  
produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity  
from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “Cinema” mode is for  
movie playback and “Music” mode is for music playback.  
DTS 96/24  
DTS 96/24 made it possible to achieve a wide frequency range of over  
40 kHz by increasing the sampling frequency to 96 or 88.2 kHz.  
Moreover, DTS 96/24’s ability of 24 bit resolution offers the same  
frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.  
DTS 96/24 is, as with conventional DTS Surround, compatible with  
multi-channels. Therefore, sources recorded using DTS 96/24 tech-  
nologies can be played in high sampling frequency, multichannel  
audio with ordinary DVDs and CDs.  
DSP mode  
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall  
to almost any type of program source. The way a sound is heard in an  
actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of  
the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of  
sound echoing in various places).  
DTS has a “.1” or “LFE” channel.  
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being  
input for this channel.  
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to  
create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original  
signal. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo  
program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy  
trying the Arena, Jazz Club, Theater, Stadium or Disco mode the next  
time you watch a concert or sporting event!  
Note  
LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-  
directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep  
bass sound effects.

THX  
ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)  
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by  
the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX  
grew from George Lucas' personal desire to make your experience of  
the film soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home theatre,  
as faithful as possible to what the director intended.  
ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed  
to 2 side and 2 back surround speakers to provide the optimal  
surround sound experience. When you set up your home theater  
system using all eight speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround  
Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and  
Subwoofer) placing the two Surround Back speakers close together  
facing the front of the room as shown in the diagram will provide the  
largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to place the  
Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to go THX Audio Set-up  
screen and choose the setting that most closely corresponds to the  
speaker spacing, which will re-optimize the surround sound-field.  
ASA is used in three new modes; THX Select 2 Cinema, THX  
MusicMode and THX Games Mode.  
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dub-  
bing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres with  
similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then  
transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not  
changed for playback in a small home theatre environment.  
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately trans-  
late the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home,  
correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this product,  
when the THX indicator is on, THX features are automatically added  
in Cinema modes (e.g.THX Cinema, THX Surround EX):  
THX Select 2 Cinema mode.  
THX Select 2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers  
giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this  
mode, ASA processing blends the side surround speakers and back  
surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient and direc-  
tional surround sounds.  
DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX  
encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected in Select 2  
Cinema mode if the appropriate flag has been encoded.  
Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital  
flag that allows automatic switching. If you know that the movie that  
you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can manually select  
the THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise THX Select 2  
Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum replay.  
Re-equalization (Re-EQ)  
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and  
harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because  
film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie  
theatres using very different professional equipment. Re-Equaliza-  
tion restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack  
in a small home environment.  
Timbre Matching  
The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the  
direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theatre, there  
is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is  
all around you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located  
to the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature filters the  
information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely  
match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front  
speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and  
surround speakers.  
THX MusicMode.  
For the replay of multi-channel music the THX MusicMode should be  
selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround  
channels of all 5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS, Dolby Digital  
and DVD-Audio to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.  
Adaptive Decorrelation  
THX Games Mode.  
In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create  
an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre  
there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround  
speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelop-  
ment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker  
as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive  
Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time and  
phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This  
expands the listening position and creates - with only two speakers  
- the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre.  
For the replay of stereo and multi-channel game audio the THX  
Games Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA processing  
is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0 encoded game  
sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately  
places all game audio surround information, providing a full 360  
degree playback environment. THX Games Mode is unique as it gives  
you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the surround field.  
THX Surround EX  
THX Surround EX-Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of  
Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.  
In a movie theatre, film soundtracks that have been encoded with  
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra  
channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This  
channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in  
addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right,  
surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional  
channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind  
the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound  
localization than ever before.  
THX Select 2  
Before any home theatre component can be THX Select 2 certified,  
it must incorporate all the features above and also pass a rigorous  
series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product  
feature the THX Select 2 logo, which is your guarantee that the Home  
Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for  
many years to come. THX Select 2 requirements cover every aspect  
of the product including pre-amplifier performance and operation, and  
hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain.  
DVD 6-channel mode  
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX  
technology, when released into the home consumer market may  
exhibit a Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging. A list of  
movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web  
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels  
and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source  
material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and  
each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,  
sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.  
Only receiver and controller product bearing the THX Surround EX  
logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this  
new technology in the home.  
This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode during  
the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround  
EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround  
Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very  
pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the taste of the  
individual listener.

Adjusting the sound  
Midnight mode (Dolby Digital and DTS mode only)  
When watching movies at night , you might not be able to raise the volume as  
loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic range of previously  
specified heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital and DTS sound track (like  
scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume  
between the scenes with heavy sound passage and scenes with normal sound  
passage. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening  
at low volumes.  
You can make further adjustments to the sound while listening to  
playback in the surround mode.
