READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

FOR U.S.A AND CANADA .......................................120 V

FOR OTHER COUNTRIES........................... 115 V/230 V

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Units shipped to countries other than the above

countries are equipped with an AC voltage selector

switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following

paragraph for the proper setting of this switch.

Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are

designed for operation on 120 Volts AC only.

Observe all safety precautions for use of a polarized

AC plug. However, some products may be supplied

with a non polarized plug.

AC VOLTAGE SELECTION

This unit operates on 115/230 V AC. The AC voltage

selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage

that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped.

Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet,

make sure that the setting position of this switch

matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to

your voltage in accordance with the following

direction.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide

blade of plug to wide slot, insert fully.

FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA ..........230V/240V

FOR YOUR SAFETY

AC voltage selector switch

Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation

on 240 V AC only.

To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied

must be inserted only into a standard three-pin

power point which is effectively earthed through the

normal household wiring. Extension cords used with

the equipment must be three-core and be correctly

wired to provide connection to earth.

AC 230 V

AC 115 V

Improper extension cords are a major cause of

fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates

satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is

earthed and that the installation is completely safe.

For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective

earthing of the power point, consult a qualified

electrician.

Move switch lever to match your line voltage with a

small screwdriver or other pointed tool.

PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE

System Connections

ꢁPlease be certain that the receiver is unplugged from the AC outlet before making any connections.

ꢁBe sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R(right) jacks when making connections.

ꢁChange the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.

ꢁA 75Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.

Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.

ꢁPlace the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a direction

for the best reception.

ꢁIf the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.

ꢁMake connections firmly and correctly. If not, poor connections can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.

ꢁIf the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be lost.

Should this happen, memorize them again.

SURROUND SOUND

ꢁThis unit 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 Music

■DTS Digital Surround

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

format which can handle higher data rates than Dolby Digital. Although both

Dolby Digital and DTS are 5.1 channel formats, discs bearing the “

are 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.

Theater Systems,Inc.

(

■DTS - ES Extended Surround™

■Dolby Digital

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:

Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed by

Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the “

DOLBY

” includes the

D I G I T A L

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.

■Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel surround format

which consists of four channels ( front left, center, front right and

surround). Sources bearing the “

theater - like surround sound.

The surround channel is monaural, but is played through both surround

speakers.

ꢁ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.

DOLBY SURROUND

■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 two modes as follows:

ꢁ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. 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.

ꢁDolby Pro Logic II MOVIE

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.

ꢁDolby Pro Logic II MUSIC

When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound

quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects.

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 must be selected manually to play these

sources.

ꢁIn DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS -ES Matrix 6.1 sources, the surround

back channel is monaural, but can be played through a single(in 6.1

mode) or two surround back speakers(in 7.1 mode) depending on the

surround back speaker setting. (For details, refer to “SETTING THE

SPEAKER SETUP” on page 38.)

■Dolby Virtual

This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion of

“phantom” speakers, this mode allows you to experience surround sound

effects from Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel (recorded in digital

PCM or analog stereo) sources, through just a single pair of front speakers.

■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 Dolby Digital, discs bearing the “

provides much better at locating individual sounds to the correct and stable

position in the sound stage.

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.

”

ꢁDTS Neo : 6 Movie

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.

■Extra Surround 6.1/7.1

This mode extracts the surround back (sometimes also referred to as “surround

center”) signals from the surround left and surround right signals and

reproduce it as well as the original multichannel signals during playback of

multi-channel program sources recorded in DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.

performance Digital Signal Processor to recreate sound fields artificially. Select one of the twelve provided

surround modes according to the program source you want to play.

■Theater

■Arena 1/2

This mode provides the feeling of a live concert in a

medium - sized (Arena 1) or large (Arena 2) arena.

This mode provides the effect of being in a theater -in-the

round when watching a play.

■Movie

■Club 1/2

This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater

when watching a movie.

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).

■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).

■Game

Use this mode to enjoy video game sources.

■Matrix

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 the 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 10 inches) 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.

menu consists of 6 main menus: power amp assign, speaker setup, function select, surround setup, CH level trim

and room 2 feed setup. Some of these menus are divided up into various sub-menus.

ꢁThe OSD menu settings are performed easily with the CURSOR control(▲, ▼, ◀, ▶), ON-SCREEN DISPLAY,

RETURN and ENTER buttons.

ꢁThe “3”, “7”, “8” and “9” of the NUMERIC buttons do also work as the CURSOR control(▲, ▼, ◀, ▶)buttons do. In
