your ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For  
DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home  
theater playback.  
• If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a  
7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix  
function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 23).

Listening to station presets  
You will need to have some presets stored to do this. See  
Saving station presets above if you haven’t done this already.  
An introduction to RDS  
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient  
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall  
whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the  
effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can  
memorize up to 30 stations.  
Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by most FM radio  
stations to provide listeners with various kinds of  
information—the name of the station and the kind of show  
they’re broadcasting, for example.  
Press PRESET / to select the station preset you  
want.  
• You can also use the number buttons on the remote  
One feature of RDS is that you can search by type of program.  
For example, you can search for a station that’s broadcasting  
a show with the program type, JAZZ.

Using the Advanced surround  
DIRECT  
This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses phase correction  
measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the  
listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion  
and/or coloring of the sound.  
The Advanced surround feature creates a variety of surround  
effects. Try different modes with various soundtracks to see  
which you like.  
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the  
truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary  
signal processing is bypassed.  
Phase Control technology provides coherent sound  
reproduction through the use of phase matching for an  
optimal sound image at your listening position. The default  
setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control  
switched on for all sound sources.

• Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving  
proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in  
phase’, they crest and trough together, resulting in  
increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound  
signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough, then the sound  
will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will  
be produced.  
• If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the  
plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually  
feel when Phase Control is set to ON on this receiver  
depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your  
subwoofer to maximize the effect. It is also recommended  
you try changing the orientation or the place of your  
subwoofer.

There are a number of additional sound settings you can

not stated, are listed in bold.  
You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1  
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital

generated, but the material may sound better in the 5.1  
format for which it was originally encoded (in which case, you  
can simply switch surround back channel processing off).  
• With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that  
have undergone matrix decoding processing through  
surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix  
function is added are output from the surround back  
speakers.  
• Note that if a setting doesn’t appear in the AUDIO  
PARAMETER menu, it is unavailable due to the current  
source, settings and status of the receiver.  
• Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers  
in the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as  
recommended in the example on page 10.  
• Depending on the positions of the speakers and the  
sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to  
achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to OFF.

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize  
the surround sound performance. You only need to make  
these settings once (unless you change the placement of  
your current speaker system or add new speakers).  
SW (Subwoofer) – LFE signals and bass frequencies of  
channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer  
when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS  
setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound  
continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass  
frequencies that would normally come out the front and  
center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you  
did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass  
frequencies are output from other speakers).

• If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer  
will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center,  
surround and surround back speakers can’t be set to  
LARGE (L) if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this  
case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.  
• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back  
speakers will automatically be set to NO.  
• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem  
logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS  
for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best  
bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of  
your room you may actually experience a decrease in the  
amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In  
this case, try changing the position or direction of  
speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass  
response with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers  
set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears  
judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the  
easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the  
subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.
