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.

interference with the speaker may produce color irregularities on the  
TV screen.  
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR key (or Input Selector keys)  
to select DVD, VIDEO or FRONT AUX.  
Analog audio 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.  
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.  
Each press switches the setting as follows:  
1 "F-AUTO": Auto detect  
("AUTO DETECT" indicator lights up)  
2 "D-MANUAL": Fixed to digital input  
("DIGITAL" indicator lights up)  
These cables are to be prepared separately by the user.  
3 "ANALOG": Fixed to analog input

In "F-AUTO (FULL AUTO)" mode ("AUTO DETECT" indicator light  
up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input signals  
automatically. The receiver will select the input mode and listen-  
ing mode automatically during playback to match the type of input  
signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS) and the speaker setting. º  
The "DIGITAL" indicator lights up when a digital signal is detected.  
The "DIGITAL" indicator is extinguished when no digital signal is  
detected.  
÷ Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of  
the unit.

Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as possible,  
either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind  
the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing  
directly towards the listeners.  
Subwoofer : Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in  
the listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center

Speaker impedance  
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the  
rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching imped-  
ance 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.

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

PRE OUT connections  
Connecting to the FRONT AUX jacks  
The receiver has additional PRE OUT jacks.  
Note that the output from the PRE OUT jacks needs to be connected  
to an external power amplifier.  
If you want to connect surround back speakers to these jacks, be always  
sure to connect two surround back speakers for the left and right.  
If you use a component that you do not usually connect to the receiver,  
such as a portable video camera, connect it to the FRONT AUX jacks on  
the front panel of the receiver. These jacks are particularly convenient  
when dubbing audio/video from a portable video camera.

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, Left  
Surround, Right Surround, and Back Surround, 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.

DTS-ES  
DSP mode  
The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents  
6.1-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround.  
DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theaters that  
includes an additional surround center channel matrixed within sur-  
round left and surround right. It’s compatible on predecessor DTS 5.1  
system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and  
steering of sound across the rear soundstage. The DTS-ES receiver  
will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix.  
The DTS-ES decoders used in home cinema systems have decoding  
options for utilizing the extra channel, in addition to processing  
existing 5.1 channel surround sound :  
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall  
to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly  
effectivewhenusedwithstereoprogramsources, likeCD, 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!

NEO:6  
NEO:6 is a new technology which decodes 2-channel signals into 6-  
channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. For the  
best results, DTS-ES should be used with movie sound tracks re-  
corded with DTS-ES format which contain a digital flag that will  
automatically activate this feature. However, for some titles, this  
feature has to be activated manually.

features lower audio compression rate in digital recording, which  
enables audio with more profoundness and higher S/N. The wider  
dynamic range and better channel separation also contribute to make  
the surround sound more precise and larger in scale.
