Special features
True home theater sound
This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround mode according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and enjoy! - 33
THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX is an extension of THX which was jointly developed by Lucasfilm THX and Dolby Laboratories. It allows you to experience a new dimension of depth, spacious ambience and sound localization to home theater audio.
This system features Re-equalization (Re-EQ), Timbre Matching, Adaptive Decorrelation, Bass Peak Level Manager and Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronization, which reproduces similar cinematic effects in the home environment.
Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX
The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.
As for Dolby Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1 channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows the user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing "5.1 like" presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video software marked □□(DOLBY SURROUND) and three-dimensional space from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.
DTS-ES
The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) is a 6.1-channel Discrete Surround format which is extended to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-Matrix 6.1 and DTS NEO:6. It is a 6.1 channel expanded from 5.1 surround which includes an additional surround-center channel developed within surround-left and surround-right. DTS-ES will be able to produce the original sound recorded similar to the theatrical effects.
In the DTS-ES mode, the 5.1 or 6.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD disc (carrying the "DTS" or "DTS-ES" marking) can be played in Digital Surround.
Important:
When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.
Multi channel surround sound
(SRS Circle Surround II (●)CS ^TM )
SRS Circle Surround II ^™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1 ^™ resulting in the CS-6.1 ^™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II.
DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like "ARENA", "JAZZ CLUB", "THEATER", "STADIUM" and "DISCO". It is compatible with almost any kind of program source.
DVD 6-channel input
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound systems.
ACTIVE EQ
ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE EQ is turned on during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.
SPEAKER EQ
The SPEAKER EQ function will automatically detect the various features of each speaker and effectively creates a stereoscopic sound effect.
Remote control
Some of the remote controls have two kinds of signal.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register the components you have connected.
RF remote signal (For VR-6070 only)
You can operate the receiver by sending RF remote signal from the remote control. The controllable range of the remote control is not influenced by surroundings such as distance or an obstruction.
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner (For the U.K. only)
The receiver is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically preset up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY search to let you tune stations by program type.
PTY (Program TYpe) search (For the U.K. only)
Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.

- Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may damage the unit.
- Do not connect power cords from components whose power consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.
Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have 2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though all connections have been made properly, reset the microcomputer referring to "In case of difficulty". +48
CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.
- Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the unit.
- Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below.

Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input.
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for CD/DVD, DVD/6CH, VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 3 are full auto.
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you have connected a VCR to the VIDEO 2 or VIDEO 3 input), you must set the input mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the steps below.
text_image
INPUT MODE Input Selector⑦ Use the Input Selector keys to select CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 or DVD/6CH.
② Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DTS play mode
①FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input)
② DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)
In CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 or DVD/6CH play mode
①FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input)
② DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)
③6CH INPUT (DVD/6CH input)
④ANALOG (analog input)
Digital input:
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD player.
Analog input:
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR, or record player.
Auto detect:
In "FULL AUTO" mode (AUTO DETECT indicator light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically. Priority is given to digital signal during input mode selection. The receiver will select the input mode and listening mode automatically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS) and the speaker setting. The OPTICAL and COAXIAL indicator on the display will light up when digital signal is detected. If the input signal is analog, the ANALOG indicator will light up.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use the INPUT MODE key to select "DIGITAL MANUAL" (manual sound). However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases in which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a Dolby Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening mode and source signal.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

Front speakers : Place at the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback.
Surround speakers : Place at the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere. Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Surround back speakers : Place the surround back left and right speakers behind the listening position at the same height as the side surround speakers.
- Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available. - [23]
Channel space switching
(Except for the U.S.A., Canada, U.K., and Australia)
The space between radio channels has been set to the one that prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area where the system is to be used, for instance when you move from area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper reception of AM/FM broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case, change the channel space setting in accordance with your area by referring to the following table.
| Area | CHANNELSpace Frequency | |

- The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries due to use during operation checks.
- When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before, replace both batteries with new ones.
- Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction. In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent malfunction.
Important notes
Here is list of adjustment which can maximize the operation of your remote control. For optimal operation of the remote control:
①Aim the remote control toward the room where the receiver is located.
②Do not position the receiver and remote control near metal (such as heat ducts). Metal can absorb RF signals.
③Make sure the batteries in the remote control are fully charged. Weak batteries will affect the range of the remote control.
④When there is an obstruction around other equipments that send signal from the remote control, the control distance of the RF remote signal will be short.
Note
- The tests for range limits of the remote control and the receiver are conducted in open-air distance test. Actual distance of the signal will be based on the construction of the building where the unit is being used in as well as other factors such as outside interference.

Surround modes
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked [M] DOBY). Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Note
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording.
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, Left Surround, Right Surround, and Back Surround, each driving its own array of speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they wolud be heard in real life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated manually.
Note
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, surround back left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1 channel Dolby Digital surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

Dolby PRO LOGIC II
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked ☐☐ DOLBY SURROUND ). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed into this receiver are "MOVIE", "MUSIC" and "PRO LOGIC". The "MOVIE" mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the "MUSIC" mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls, like "Dimension", "Center Width" and "Panorama" modes to allow optimization of the soundfields as desired. The "Dimension" control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear; the "Center Width" control allows various adjustment of the left-center-right speakers' balance; the "Panorama" mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect with side wall imaging.

DTS-ES
The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents 6.1-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround. DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theaters that includes an additional surround center channel matrixed within surround left and surround right. It's compatible on predecessor DTS 5.1 system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and steering of sound across the rear soundstage. The DTS-ES receiver will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix.
The DTS-ES decoders used in home cinema systems have decoding options for utilizing the extra channel, in addition to processing existing 5.1 channel surround sound :
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction.
NEO:6 is a new technology which decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. For the best results, DTS-ES should be used with movie sound tracks recorded with DTS-ES format which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for some titles, this feature has to be activated manually.
According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.

THX Surround EX mode
THX Surround EX is an extension of THX which was jointly developed by Lucasfilm THX and Dolby Laboratories.
This new technology is able to place sound directly behind the listener as it allows the sound mixers to encircle the listener with 360-degree pans.
THX Surround EX is able to redirect bass energy in the surround back channels to the subwoofer. It requires re-equalization of the surround back channels to match the characteristics of the front and left or right surround channels.
It also consist of the basic THX features such as Re-equalization (ReEQ), Timbre Matching, Adaptive Decorrelation, Bass Peak Level Manager and Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronisation.

When listening in a typical home room, there may be some variation of echo due to air absorption and smaller space. The sound produced by flat response loudspeakers normally used in the cinema can be overly bright in the home environment. Thus, Re-equalization (Re-EO) will adjust this condition to fit the home environment for a similar cinema effect.
Timbre Matching
Due to human condition, listening to sound from various directions of speakers can be very disturbing. So, it is important to smoothen the flow of sound to suit the home cinema environment. Timbre Matching is able to smoothen the flow of sound to the listener who will be able to enjoy the cinema effect at home.
Adaptive Decorrelation
Mono sound track produced from the speaker system comes from only one direction, which does not exemplify the cinema surround sound experience. Adaptive Decorrelation is able to adjust the inaccuracy of this sound distribution.
Bass Peak Level Manager
Certain sound tracks may produce various bass peaks that could be unpleasant in a home cinema environment. Therefore, a user-adjustable Bass Peak Level Manager is used to control the bass level to suit the system's capacity. →[25]
Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronisation
This function enables you to adjust the different speaker's distance to your listening position. It permits an accurate synchronisation, which creates the ultimate sound environment.
DSP mode
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

What's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.
Multi channel surround sound (SRS Circle Surround II)
SRS Circle Surround II ^™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1 ^™ resulting in the CS-6.1 ^™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II.
The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements for multi-channel content. It creates a listening environment that places the listener "inside" music performances, and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material.
The CS decoder also includes the SRS technologies Focus™ and TruBass™. Focus electronically raises the sound stage from the speaker location to an optimal position. TruBass creates deep, rich bass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwoofer.
