To achieve more effective surround sound for both movies and music ,  
connect two different sets of surround speakers and place them in the  
appropriate locations for two types of sources as follows :  
Surround speakers A :  
10  
1. TV or screen  
11  
For watching movies, place the surround speakers A approximately 1  
meter (40 inches ) above the ear level of a seated listener on the  
direct left and right of them or slightly behind.  
8. Surround left speaker B  
9. Surround right speaker B  
10. Surround back left speaker  
11. Surround back right speaker  
12. Surround center speaker  
13. Listeing position  
2. Front left speaker  
3. Subwoofer  
Surround speakers B :  
For playing multi-channel music , place the surround speakers B at  
the same height as the front speakers and slightly at an angle to the  
rear of the listening position , and point them toward the listening  
position .  
4. Center speaker  
5. Front right speaker  
6. Surround left speaker A  
7. Surround right speaker A  
Surround back left and right speakers  
Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the front at a  
narrower distance than front speakers.  
When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center  
facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm ) than the  
surround speakers.  
Surround speaker A  
Front speaker  
Surround back  
speaker  
Point slightly  
downward  
We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) 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.  
60 to 90 cm  
Surround  
speaker B  
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.

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 Neo : 6 Cinema  
DTS Digital Surround  
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.  
DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel  
digital signal format which can handle higher data 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.  
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.  
• DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1  
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.  
DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24and Neo:6are trademarks of  
Digital Theater Systems, Inc.  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format  
developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the  
includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of  
DOLBY  
D I G I T A L  
• DTS - ES™ Matrix 6.1  
digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound  
quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range characteristics  
than the previous Dolby Surround effect.  
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.  
Dolby Digital EX  
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.  
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  
DOLBY  
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.

The following modes apply conventional 2-channel signals  
such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to high  
performance Digital Signal Processor to recreate sound  
fields artificially. Select one of the 13 provided surround  
modes according to the program source you want to play.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround  
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 :  
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie  
Theater  
When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further  
enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that  
emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.  
This mode provides the effect of being in a theater -in-the  
round when watching a play.  
Movie  
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music  
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater  
when watching a movie.  
When listening to music, this mode allows you to further  
enhance the sound quality by adding processing that  
emphasizes the musical effects.  
Hall 1/2  
This mode provides the ambience of a chamber hall for  
chamber music or an instrumental solo (Hall 1) or a concert  
hall for orchestral music or an opera (Hall 2).  
Dolby Pro Logic II surround  
This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as  
digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby  
Surround signals, etc. to surround processing to offer  
improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.  
Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie  
and Dolby Pro Logic II Music like Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
surround.  
Stadium  
This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the  
true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.  
Church  
This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque,  
string orchestral or choral group music.  
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.  
Club 1/2  
This mode creates the sound field of a jazz club with a low  
ceiling and hard walls (Club 1) or a live house with a relatively  
spacious floor (Club 2).  
Arena 1/2  
Dolby Headphone  
This mode provides the feeling of a live concert in a medium -  
sized (Arena 1) or large (Arena 2) arena.  
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.  
Game  
Use this mode to enjoy video game sources.  
4CH Stereo  
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.  
Dolby, Pro Logicand the double-D symbol are trademarks  
of Dolby Laboratories.  
This mode creates a wider, deeper and more natural  
soundstage from 2 channel PCM or analog stereo sources.  
The front left channel signals are output to the surround left  
channel and the front right channel signals are output to the  
surround right channel.  
MPEG Multichannel  
This mode is a surround system which faithfully reproduces  
the ambience and dynamics of movie soundtracks and music  
alike. Though the number of audio channels are same as  
Matrix  
This mode reproduces a delayed signals from the surround  
channels to emphasize the sense of expansion for music  
sources.

Any on-screen display shown on the monitor TV will not be recorded.  
Because this unit cannot support the OSD function for the progressively scanned video signal, the OSD for current status and menu  
settings may be displayed abnormally or may not be displayed.  
CURRENT STATUS DISPLAY  
This mode shows the status corresponding to each operation.  
The on-screen display will automatically disappear in several seconds.

When selecting the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP  
Auto Speaker Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. You should  
connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information from a series of test  
tones emitted from speakers and can adjust the size, distance and sound level of each speaker automatically.  
If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the When  
selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATIONprocedure on page 49, When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCEprocedure  
on page 51, Adjusting each channel level with test toneand Adjusting the current channel levelsprocedures on page 37.  
2. Place the microphone on a flat level surface at your normal  
listening position.  
Preparations  
1. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC  
jack on the rear panel.(For details, refer to  
CONNECTING MICROPHONEon page 13.)  
Note:  
If possible, use a tripod, etc. to attach the microphone at the  
same height as your ears would be when you are seated in  
your listening position.  
Ensure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the  
microphone.  
3. For the speakers to be set to Small, select the desired  
crossover frequency performing the CROSSOVER FREQ.”
