How to use this manual
4
This manual is divided into four sections: Preparations, Operations,
Remote Control, and Additional Information.
Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from
video software marked
The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left and
right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.
.
Preparations
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the
receiver and prepare the surround processor.
We will guide you to make setting up your system as easy as possible.
However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video
components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.
DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that
provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)
channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a
(wide) dynamic range.
Preparations
Operations
In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD
disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround.
Important:
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the
receiver.
When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be
output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the
digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.
Remote Control
Shows you how to operate other components using the remote control,
as well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once
you have registered your components with the proper setup codes, you’ll
be able to operate both this receiver and your other AV components (TV,
VCR, DVD player, LD player, CD player, etc.) using the remote control
supplied with this receiver.
Multi channel music (SRS Circle Surround
)
SRSCirclesurroundenablesyoutolistentomultichannelsoundfromthe
stereo source. We assume you have already enjoyed listening to Dolby
digital sound/DTS multi channel sound with your multi speakers. Now,
this time try listening to the stereo source (ex. Audio CD) using your multi
speakers. You may discover a new type of “stereo” sound through SRS
Circle Surround.
Additional Information
Shows you additional information such as “In case of difficulty” (trouble-
shooting) and “Specifications”.
DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a
variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like “ARENA”, “JAZZ”
CLUB”, “THEATER”, “STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with
almost any kind of program source.

Setting up the system
Make connections as shown on the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be sure
to also refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the
components you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, DVD/6ch, VIDEO2 and VIDEO3inputseachincludejacksfor
digital audio input and analog audio input.
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each
connected component.
7
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback (CD/DVD,
DVD/6ch) and (VIDEO2, VIDEO3) are digital and analog respec-
tively.
DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format
available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be
decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this
reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog
outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited.
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions
should taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected
directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder
system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or
TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 input), you must set
the input mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.
INPUT SELECTOR
P
Notes
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or
unplugginganyconnectioncords.Plugging/unpluggingconnectioncords
without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may
damage the unit.
INPUT MODE
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, DVD/6ch,
VIDEO2, or VIDEO3.
3. Do not connect power cords from components which power consump-
tion is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.
Analog connections
Each press switches the setting as follows:
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 packaged with the source unit, or are
available at your local electronics retailer.

27
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

Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality,
greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left
and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital
surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby

Surround modes
DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and can not 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.

bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed
into this receiver are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “PRO LOGIC”. The
“MOVIE” mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to
produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the
“MUSIC” mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the optional
controls, like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama mode” 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
adjustment of the left-center-right speakers' balance; the “Panaroma

for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

DSP mode
Dolby 3 Stereo
28
Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround
speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information
is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed
for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve
sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.
Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however, may not be as
accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby Surround
encoded.
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
effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television,
and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB,

What's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
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).
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to
create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original
signal.
Multi channel music (SRS Circle Surround)
SRS Circle surround enables you to listen to multi channel sound from
the stereo source. We assume you have already enjoyed listening to
Dolby digital sound/DTS multi channel sound with your multi speakers.
Now, this time try listening to the stereo source (ex. Audio CD) using your
multi speakers. You may discover a new type of “stereo” sound through
SRS Circle Surround.
Operations
DVD 6-channel mode
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.
