Basic settings To obtain the best possible sound effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 38 to 43), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. From pages 16 to 25, how to set speakers and other basic items of the receiver are explained. Setting the speaker information automatically —Smart Surround Setup The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect from the Surround/DSP modes. By using Smart Surround Setup, the following are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping hands. + Speaker distance (compared to that of the closest speaker) + Speaker output level (except the subwoofer) + Before starting Smart Surround Setup, set the speaker information correctly (SMALL, LARGE, or NO) according to your speakers except the subwoofer (see page 21). When the setting is made by Smart Surround Setup, the speaker distance and output level you have set before will be inactive. + You can see the setting process on the TV screen and the display during Smart Surround Setup. If you have turned off the display, cancel the Dimmer (see page 15); otherwise, you cannot see the information on the display. + Smart Surround Setup will not be done correctly if you or other object blocks the sound. + When you change your speakers, do the following procedure again. In this section, the on-screen display on the TV screen is used for explaining. + The on-screen display does not appear on the TV screen in the following cases: — When connecting the TV through the VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks (see page 10). — When selecting “TV” as the source. — When the output signals are RGB.

About other digital signals Linear PCM Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and Video CDs. DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 KHz at 16 bits. + When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LPCM indicator lights up. Dual Mono Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analogue formats). This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-channel) to be recorded separately. + You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 22).

CC) | Introducing the DSP modes The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling. Reflections from behind Early reflections Direct sounds The DSP modes include the following modes: + Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes—HALL, HALL2, LIVE

CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATRE1, THEATRE2

+ MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including Dual Mono signal) + All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH ST) When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.
