Important Safety Information

If an outside antenna or cable system is

connected to this product, be certain that

it is grounded so as to provide some pro-

tection against voltage surges and static

charges. Section 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,

provides information with respect to

proper grounding of the mast and sup-

porting structure, grounding of the lead-

in wire to an antenna discharge unit,

size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes and requirements

of the grounding electrode.

■ To assure proper operation, and to

avoid the potential for safety hazards,

place the unit on a firm and level sur-

face. When placing the unit on a shelf,

be certain that the shelf and any

mounting hardware can support the

weight of the product.

Verify Lin e Voltage Before Use

Your AVR5 has been designed for use with

120-volt AC current. Connection to a line

voltage other than that for which it is

intended can create a safety and fire haz-

ard, and may damage the unit.

■ Make certain that proper space is pro-

vided both above and below the unit

for ventilation. If this product will be

installed in a cabinet or other enclosed

area, make certain that there is suffi-

cient air movement within the cabinet.

Under some circumstances a fan may

be required.

If you have any questions about the volt-

age requirements for your specific model,

or about the line voltage in your area,

contact your selling dealer before plug-

ging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Exten sion Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the

power cord attached to your unit. We do

not recommend that extension cords be

used with this product. As with all electri-

cal devices, do not run power cords under

rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on

them. Damaged power cords should be

replaced immediately with cords meeting

factory specifications.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the

CATV (Cable TV) system installer’s atten-

tion to article 820-40 of the NEC that

provides guidelines for proper grounding

and, in particular, specifies that the cable

ground shall be connected to the ground-

ing system of the building, as close to the

point of cable entry as possible.

■ Do not place the unit directly on a

carpeted surface.

■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or

cold locations, or an area that is

exposed to direct sunlight or heating

equipment.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on

the top of the unit, or place objects

directly over them.

Han dle th e AC Power Cord Gen tly

When disconnecting the power cord from

an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never

pull the cord. If you do not intend to use

the unit for any considerable length of

time, disconnect the plug from the AC

outlet.

Installation and Connections

System In stallation

3. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna sup-

plied with the unit as shown below.

Connect it to the AM and GND screw

terminals ·.

Regardless of the brand of cable selected,

we recommend that you use a cable con-

structed of fine, multistrand copper with a

gauge of 14 or smaller. Remember that in

specifying cable, the lower the number,

the thicker the cable.

After unpacking the unit, and placing it

on a solid surface capable of supporting

its weight, you will need to make the

connections to your audio and video

equipment. These steps need to be done

only when the receiver is first installed,

or when a change is made to the input

source equipment.

Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for

short runs of less than ten feet. We do not

recommend that you use cables with an

AWG equivalent of 18 or higher due to

the power loss and degradation in

performance that will occur.

Audio Equipm en t Con n ection s

We recommend that you use high-quality

interconnect cables when making connec-

tions to source equipment and recorders

to preserve the quality of the signals.

4. Connect an FM antenna to the

FM (75 ohm) connection a. The

FM antenna may be an external roof

antenna, an inside powered or wire lead

antenna or a connection from a cable

TV system. Note that if the antenna or

connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead

cable, you must use the 300-ohm-to-

75-ohm adapter supplied with the unit

to make the connection.

Cables that are run inside walls should

have the appropriate markings to indicate

listing with UL, CSA or other appropriate

testing agency standards. Questions about

running cables inside walls should be

referred to your installer or a licensed

electrical contractor who is familiar with

the NEC and/or the applicable local

building codes in your area.

When making connections to audio

source equipment or speakers it is always

a good practice to unplug the unit from

the AC wall outlet. This prevents any pos-

sibility of accidentally sending audio or

transient signals to the speakers that may

damage them.

5. Connect the front, center and

surround speaker outputs to the

respective speakers.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD

player to the CD inputs §.

When connecting wires to the speakers,

be certain to observe proper polarity.

Remember to connect the “negative” or

“black” wire to the same terminal on the

receiver and the speaker. Similarly, the

“positive” or “red” wire should be con-

nected to the like terminal on the AVR5

and speaker.

To assure that all the audio signals are

carried to your speakers without loss of

clarity or resolution, we suggest that you

use high-quality speaker cable. Many

brands of cable are available, and the

choice of cable may be influenced by the

distance between your speakers and this

receiver, the type of speakers you use,

personal preferences and other factors.

Your dealer or installer is a valuable

resource to consult in selecting the

proper cable.

NOTE: When the CD player has both

fixed and variable audio outputs it is best

to use the fixed output unless you find

that the input to the receiver is so low

that the sound is noisy, or high that the

signal is distorted.

We also recommend that the length of

cable used to connect speaker pairs be

identical. For example, use the same

length piece of cable to connect the front

left and front right or surround left and

surround right speakers, even if the

speakers are a different distance from

the AVR5.

Installation and Connections

Extern al Audio Decoder Con n ection

To provide for the ultimate flexibility,

the AVR5 may be used in conjunction

with optional, external decoders for

Dolby Digital, DTS or other sources of 5.1

audio signals. If an external decoder is

used, connect the output jacks of the

decoder to the 6-Channel Direct inputs

°, making sure to match channels.

4. Connect the TV Monitor Out ⁄

jacks on the receiver to the video

input of your television monitor or

video projector.

NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers

adhere to an industry convention of using

black terminals for negative and red ones

for positive, some manufacturers may

vary from this configuration. To assure

proper phase, and optimal performance,

consult the identification plate on your

speaker, or the speaker’s manual to verify

polarity. If you do not know the polarity

of your speaker, ask your dealer for

6. Connections to a subwoofer are made

via a line level audio connection from

the Subwoofer Output £ to the line

level input of a subwoofer with a built-in

amplifier. If a passive subwoofer is used,

the connection first goes to a power

amplifier, which will be connected to one

or more subwoofer speakers.

Rem ote Con trol Exten sion

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or

smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruc-

tion may prevent the remote sensor from

receiving commands. In this event, an

optional remote sensor may be used.

Connect the output of the remote sensor

to the Remote Cont. In jack ¡.

AC Power Con n ection s

This unit is equipped with two accessory

AC outlets. They may be used to power

accessory devices, but they should not be

used with high-current draw equipment

such as power amplifiers. The total power

draw may not exceed 100W to each outlet.

No matter which type or brand of speakers

is used, the same model or brand of

speaker should be used for the front left,

center and right speakers. This creates a

seamless front soundstage, and elimi-

nates the possibility of distracting sonic

disturbances that occur when a sound

moves across mismatched front channel

speakers.

Surround speakers should be placed on

the side walls of the room, at or slightly

behind the listening position. The center

of the speaker should face into the room.

The speakers should be located so that

the bottom of the cabinet is at least two

feet higher than the listeners’ ears when

seated in the desired area.

Speaker Placem en t

Depending on the type of center channel

speaker in use and your viewing device,

place the center speaker directly above or

below your TV or in the center behind a

perforated front projection screen.

Optional Rear Wall Mounting

If side wall mounting is not practical, the

speakers may be placed on a rear wall,

behind the listening position. Again, they

should be located so that the bottom of

the cabinet is at least two feet higher

than the listeners’ ears. The speakers

should be no more than six feet behind

the rear of the seating area.

B) The distance between the left and right

speakers should be equal to the distance

from the seating position to the viewing

screen.You may also experiment with

placing the left and right speakers slightly

forward of the center speaker.

Once the center channel speaker is

installed, position the left and right

front speakers so that they are as far

away from one another as the center

channel speaker is from the preferred

listening position. Ideally, the front

channel speakers should be placed so

that their tweeters are no more than 24"

off center from the tweeter in the center

IMPORTANT NOTE: Many listeners

are often confused about the operation

of the surround channels. While some

assume that sound should always be

coming from each speaker, most of the

time there will be little or no sound in

the surround channels. This is because

they are only used when a movie director

or sound mixer specifically places sound

there to create ambiance, an effect or to

continue action from the front of the

room to the rear. When the output levels

2. Press the Delay button <Ù on

the remote or front panel. The word

DELAY 20 will appear in the

Information Display ¯.

a. When setting the delay time for the

Dolby Digital surround mode, the

optimal delay time is the resulting

figure. For example, if the front

speakers are ten feet away and the

surround speakers are five feet

away, the optimal delay time is

figured as 10–5=5. Thus, in this

example, the delay should be set at

five milliseconds.

Delay Settin gs

One aspect of the surround modes is the

delay of audio signals between the front

speakers and the rear speakers. Each

surround mode is factory preset with a

specific delay time, but it is possible to

individually adjust the delay timing to

custom tailor the sound to your individ-

ual taste and the acoustic conditions in

your listening room or home theater.

3. Adjust the delay time by pressing the

Delay button <Ù on the remote

or front panel until the delay time fig-

ure closest to the number calculated

using the formula entered above

appears in the display.

4. Once the desired setting appears, do

not press the button again; the unit

will return to normal operation in

five seconds.

b. When setting the delay time for

the Pro Logic mode, take the result

of the subtraction and add 15 to

obtain the optimal delay time. For

example, if the front speakers are

ten feet away and the surround

speakers are five feet away, the

optimal delay time is figured

as 10–5+15=20. Thus, in this

example, the delay should be set

at twenty milliseconds.

The factory setting is appropriate for

most rooms, but some installations

create an uncommon distance between

the front and surround speakers that may

cause the arrival of front channel sounds

to become disconnected from surround

channel sounds.

Surround, Dolby Stereo, DTS Stereo or

other similar logos on a movie or broad-

If you are listening to a conventional

two-channel stereo program or recording

you may wish to experiment by using the

Hall 1, Hall 2 or Theater modes.

Although these programs do not have

any intentional surround encoding

information, they do contain natural

ambiance information that the AVR5 can

process to create rear channel informa-

tion. Depending on the specific program

the Pro Logic mode may often provide a

pleasing sound presentation from stereo

programs.

Surround Mode Selection

The AVR5 offers a choice of surround

modes. To select a surround mode press

choice of which surround mode to use is

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Dolby Pro Logic is the standard mode for analog surround sound decoding. It uses

channels: Left, Center, Right and Surround. Use this mode for accurate reproduction

of programs bearing the Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo, UltraStereo or other

“Surround” logos. Surround encoded programs include videocassette, DVD and LD

movies, TV and cable programs, radio programs and audio CDs. Dolby Pro Logic

processing may also be used to provide a pleasing surround effect with some

stereophonic source material that does not carry surround encoding.

DOLBY 3 STEREO

Dolby 3 Stereo uses the information contained in a surround encoded or two-channel No Surround Channels

stereo program to create center channel information. In addition, the information

that is normally sent to the rear channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with

the front left and right channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a

center channel speaker, but no surround speakers.

THEATER

Theater Surround processing uses matrix surround decoding to simulate a standard Fixed Delay

movie or stage theater.

HALL 1 and HALL 2

These modes are designed for use with stereo recordings. They provide a sound-field Fixed Delay

effect that simulates the complex combination of direct and reflected sounds that

create the rich reverberant atmosphere of a medium-sized concert hall (Hall 1) or a

larger concert hall (Hall 2).

STEREO

This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left and right

channel presentation of two channel stereo programs.

recordings. However, for stereo, but non-

surround programs, we suggest that you

try the Hall 1, Hall 2 or Theater modes.

Note that the surround modes available

will vary according to speaker selection.

When NONE is selected, only Hall and

Phantom modes may be used, as Pro

Logic requires a center channel speaker.

To connect an external amplifier, simply

connect the Preamp Outputs on the

rear panel to the inputs of an optional,

external power amplifier.

6-Channel Direct Operation

The AVR5 is a digital-ready receiver,

which means that it is equipped for use

with optional, external digital audio

decoders. This enables the AVR5 to serve

you well into the future, through con-

necting to a decoder for formats such as

Dolby Digital or DTS.

No special adjustments are required

when an external power amplifier is in

use. All volume and output adjustments

are made using the standard controls.

• The AVR5 is equipped with a memory

system that permits a different surround

mode to be used with each of the input

sources. You may select the mode that is

most appropriate to each source, such as

Pro Logic for a VCR or DVD player con-

nected to a Video input, Hall for the CD

input and Surround Off for the Tuner.

When you select an input again for a

subsequent listening session the system

will automatically change to your pre-

ferred surround mode for that input.

Tuner Operation

The AVR5’s tuner is capable of tuning AM,

FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations.

Stations may be tuned manually, or they

may be stored as favorite station presets

and recalled from a 30-position memory.

You may also use these inputs for direct con-

nection to DVD players or digital television

sets that have built-in decoding for Dolby

Digital. When one of these products is used,

no external adapter or decoder is needed.

Station Selection

1. Press the AM/FM button

select the tuner as an input.

For 6-channel direct operation, connect

the outputs of the decoder or other

devices with decoded digital outputs to

the 6-Channel Direct Inputs on

the rear panel.

NOTE: Once a program has been

encoded with surround information, it

retains the surround matrix as long as

the program is broadcast in stereo. Thus,

movies with surround sound will carry

surround information when they are

broadcast via conventional TV stations,

cable, pay TV and satellite transmission.

In addition, a growing number of made-

for-television programs, sports broad-

casts, radio dramas and music CDs are

also recorded in surround sound. You

Programming the Remote

• When a button is pressed on the AVR5

remote, the LED Indicator å will

flash briefly. If it flashes for some, but

not all buttons for a particular prod-

uct, it does NOT indicate a problem

with the remote, but rather that no

function is programmed for the but-

ton being pushed.

To find out what function a particular

button has for a specific device, find

the button number on the Function List

and then look in the column for the

device you are controlling. For example,

button number 19 is the Test Tone button

for the AVR5, but it is the “Display” but-

ton for many TV sets. Button number 2

is the Preset Tune Down button for the

AVR5, and it is the “Reverse Skip” button

for DVD or LD players but has no function

for VCRs or TV sets.

NOTE: Only those buttons shown on the

diagram and table have functions with

products other than the AVR5. In addition,

some products may differ from the func-

tions shown in the table, and other buttons

may not function with some products.

Notes on Usin g th e AVR5 Rem ote With
