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 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.
• 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.
1. TV or Screen
2. Front left speaker
3. Subwoofer
4. Center speaker
5. Front right speaker
6. Surround left speaker
7. Surround right speaker
8. Surround back left speaker
9. Surround back right speaker
10. Surround center speaker
11. Listening position
■Subwoofer
• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass
sounds.
Place a 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”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are 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
• 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
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.

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 three modes as follows :
• Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide
The width of the front sound image seems to extend beyond
the front speakers.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie
■Dolby Headphone

enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that
emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.
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.

enhance the dynamic surround effects by adding processing
that emphasizes the surrounded and exciting sound.
• 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 3 provided surround
modes according to the program source you want to play.
■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,
Dolby Pro Logic II Music and Dolby Pro Logic II Game like
Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround.
■Theater
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater
when watching a play.
■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
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.
■Stadium
This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the
true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.
Dolby VIrtual Speaker includes two listening mode as follows:
• When using the EXTERNAL INs to play back the sound from the additional multi-channel decoder for surround sound, you can

SETTING THE SPEAKER / ROOM EQ SETUP
• After you have installed this receiver and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the
optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.
• Even when you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of your listening environment, you should adjust the
speaker settings, too.
• When performing the AUTO SETUP procedure, you need not perform the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, SPEAKER
DISTANCE, SPEAKER CROSSOVER and CH LEVEL SETUP procedures.
• AUTO SETUP : To set the speaker setup and channel level setup
automatically.

When selecting the AUTO SETUP
• Auto Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound.
Auto Setup has the feature that provides the optimum listening environment at two main listening
positions in your room, where there are often multiple listeners viewing programs together.
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 at two main listening positions and can
adjust the size, distance, sound level, crossover frequency and frequency response of each speaker
automatically.
For optimum effectiveness, move the microphone from first position to second position within the listening
area surrounded by the speakers while performing the auto setup.
■About the first listening position
The first listening position is the point where a listener sits most often or the listening position when only
one person is listening. Measurements start from this point.
• If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually,
perform the "When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION" on page 57, "When selecting the
SPEAKER DISTANCE" on page 59, "When selecting the SPEAKER CROSSOVER" on page 60,
"Adjusting each channel level with test tone" on page 35 and "Adjusting the current channel level" on
page 36.
• After the auto setup has been completed, set the room EQ mode as desired. (For details, refer to "When
selecting the ROOM EQ" on page 61.)
■Preparations
2. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP
MIC jack on the front panel.(For details, refer to
"SETUP MIC JACK" on page 16.)
1. Check that the speakers are securely connected
to this receiver.
• If your subwoofer has adjustable volume and
crossover frequency, set the volume halfway
and set the crossover frequency to the
maximum or the low pass filter off.
■Notes :

designed for use with this receiver, to use the auto
setup function, do not use a microphone other than
the one supplied with this receiver.
• After you have completed the auto setup
procedure, disconnect the microphone.
Place the microphone on a flat level surface at the first main listening position.
1
• 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.

■About the speaker distance
When enjoying multi-channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, etc., it is ideal that the
center, surround and surround back speakers should be the same distance from the main listening position
as the front speakers. By entering the distance between the listening position and each speaker, the delay
times of center, surround and surround back speakers are automatically adjusted to create an ideal listening
environment virtually as if the center, surround and surround back speakers were at their ideal locations
respectively.
