2. CONNECTING VIDEO COMPONENTS

• 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 “Y” to “Y”, “PB/CB” to “CB”(or “B-Y”, “PB”) and “PR/CR” to “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.

4. CONNECTING EXTERNAL INs

• Use these jacks to connect the corresponding outputs of a DVD

player or external decoder, etc. that has 6 or 7 channel analog

audio outputs

• In case of 6 channel outputs, do not connect this SURROUND

BACK input to your audio component.(For details, refer to the

operating instructions of the component to be connected.)

5. CONNECTING DIGITAL INs and OUT

• The OPTICAL and the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTs of the

components that are connected to CD and VIDEO 1~ VIDEO 3 of

this unit can be connected to these DIGITAL INs.

• A digital input should be connected to the components such as a

CD player, LD player, DVD player, etc. capable of outputting DTS

Digital Surround, Dolby Digital or PCM format digital signals, etc.

• If the component with OPTICAL IN jack is connected to the

OPTICAL OUT jack of this unit, you can record the high quality

sound of CDs, etc. without degradation.

• For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component

connected.

• When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL connection, be sure to use a

75 Ω COAXIAL cord, not a conventional AUDIO cord.

• All of the commercially available optical fiber cords cannot be used

for the equipment. If there is an optical fiber cord which cannot be

connected to your equipment, consult your dealer or nearest

service organization.

■ Note :

• Be sure to make either a OPTICAL or a COAXIAL DIGITAL

connection on each component. (You don’t need to do both.)

6. CONNECTING SYSTEM CONTROL

• Connect this jack to the DIGI LINK jack of the external

Sherwood component that uses the DIGI LINK II or III

remote control system.

7. SUBWOOFER PREOUT connection

• To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered

subwoofer.

8. CONNECTING SPEAKERS

• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according

to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+ and -). If the

connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the

speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is

incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

• For installing the speakers, refer to “Speaker placement” on

page 8.

• After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings

according to your environment and speaker layout.(For

details, refer to “Speaker Setup” on page 18.)

Caution :

• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms

or above.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any

metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or

the speakers.

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 :

■ 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.

• 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

listener’s ears when at the main listening position.

■ Surround left and right speakers

• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches)

above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of

them or slightly behind.

■ Surround back speaker

• 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.

■ 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.

• To use Auto Speaker Setup function, connect the microphone

to the SETUP MIC jack.(For details, refer to “SETTING THE

SPEAKER SETUP AUTOMATICALLY(AUTO SPEAKER

SETUP)” on page 21.)

Note:

• Because the microphone for Auto Speaker Setup is designed

for use with this receiver, do not use a microphone other than

the one supplied with this receiver.

10. SWITCHED AC OUTLETs

• Theses outlets are switched on(power-on mode) and

off(standby mode) according to power control as

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 Digital Surround

• DTS Neo : 6 Cinema

DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-

channel digital signal format which can handle higher data

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.

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.

• DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1

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.

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.

Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

■ Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format

developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the

• DTS - ES™ Matrix 6.1

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.

“

” includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of

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

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.

■ Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround

■ Dolby Headphone

Dolby Pro Logic IIx decodes all stereo (2 channel ) and 5.1

channel sources and extends to 7.1channel surround

playback. It delivers the most natural, full range and

immersing 7.1 channel listening experience. Dolby Pro Logic

IIx surround includes two modes as follows :

The Dolby Headphone function simulates 5.1 channel

surround sound, which allows you to enjoy 5.1 channel

surround sound through 2 channel headphones, just like

listening from 5.1 channel speakers.

This mode is effective not only for 5.1 channel sources but

also for stereo(2 channel) sources.

modes according to the program source you want to play.

■ Dolby Virtual Speaker

This mode creates a virtual surround sound field using as few

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.

Dolby VIrtual Speaker includes two listening mode as follows:

■ Theater

This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater

when watching a movie.

■ Hall

This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall for

classical music sources such as orchestral, chamber music

or an instrumental solo.

• Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference

The width of the front sound image is defined by the actual

distance between front speakers.

■ Stadium

• Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide

The width of the front sound image seems to extend beyond

the front speakers.

This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the

true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.

• When using the EXTERNAL INs to play back the sound from the additional multi-channel decoder for surround sound, you can

enjoy the corresponding surround sound, too.( For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component to be

connected.)
