Operating range (Approx.)

Standby indicator Remote sensor 6 m 30° 30° RECEIVER Infrared ray system

• When pressing more than one remote control key successively, press the keys securely by leaving an interval of 1 second or more between keys.

Notes:

1. The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries due to use during operation checks.
2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before, replace both batteries with new ones.
3. 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.

Make connections as shown in the following pages.

When connecting the related system components, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components you are connecting.

Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all connections are completed.

Notes:

1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise interference.
2. 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.

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 at each end, red for the right channel and 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 by referring to . → 36

CAUTION

The power of this equipment will not be completely cut off from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off. Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

CAUTION

Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

- Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below.

Side panel : 10 cm

Back panel : 10 cm

- This unit is using the cooling fan. Do not place the unit onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet, or similar. Sucked-in dust can cause fire.

Speaker placement

    D["Front speaker"] --> E["Center speaker"]
    E --> F["Listening position"]
    G["Surround speaker"] --> H["Surround speaker"]
    I["Subround speaker"] --> J["Central Speaker"]

Front speakers:

Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker on the center between the front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.

Surround speakers:

Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.

Subwoofer:

Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)

Note:

- 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.

Digital connections

The DIGITAL IN jacks can accept DTS, Dolby Digital, or PCM signals. Connect components capable of outputting DTS, Dolby Digital, or standard PCM (CD) format digital signals.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a highly sophisticated and versatile audio encoding/decoding technology. Dolby Digital technology can transmit mono, stereo (two-channel), or up to 5.1-channel surround sound (discrete* multichannel audio).

In 5.1-channel surround sound, the three front channels (Left/Center/Right) deliver crisp, clean dialogue and accurate placement of on-screen sounds, while twin surround channels (Left Surround/Right Surround) wrap around the audience and immerse them in the action. The LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel delivers real impact for explosions and other effects that can, literally, be felt as well as heard.

The superior coding efficiency of Dolby Digital-and its ability to deliver high-quality discrete multichannel audio without compromising video quality has made it the designated audio standard for DVD worldwide.

* The sound information contained in each of the six available channels is distinct and independent. These six channels are described as a "5.1-channel" system, because there are five full-bandwidth channels with 3 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range for Front Left and Right, Center, and Surround, plus one "Low Frequency Effects" (LFE) subwoofer channel devoted to frequencies from 3 to 120 Hz.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby® Pro Logic® II technology processes any high quality stereo (two-channel) movie and music audio into five playback channels of full-bandwidth surround sound. A matrix surround decoding technology, Dolby Pro Logic II detects the directional cues that occur naturally in stereo content and uses these elements to create a five-channel surround sound playback experience. Dolby Pro Logic II is fully compatible with all Dolby Pro Logic technologies. It provides optimal audio for playback in a 5.1-channel home theater system for the thousands of videocassettes and TV programs encoded in four-channel Dolby Surround (the encoding counterpart to Dolby Pro Logic's decoding technology). (Dolby Pro Logic II surround Movie mode)

Dolby Pro Logic II also enables video game consoles to encode five-channel surround sound information into a stereo signal with virtually no impact on the console's CPU, which means all this extra audio won't slow your game down. (Dolby Pro Logic II surround Game mode)

Dolby Pro Logic II can bring new life to your CD collection. Play your music through your home theater system, and you'll hear seamless, natural sound with new depth and detail. It's almost like hearing a newly remastered CD. (Dolby Pro Logic II surround Music mode)

Digital Surround

DTS

DTS Digital Surround is the standard for providing 5.1 channels of discrete digital audio in consumer electronics products and software content.

DTS can contain a larger volume of data than Dolby Digital, and can reproduce high quality surround sound. They are the same as the Dolby Digital 5.1 channels, but it is a format that lowered the audio compression rate when recording digitally. Because of that, rich sound with high S/N can be reproduced. Moreover, an exact, magnificent surround sound with wide dynamic range and excelling in separation is a feature of DTS.

DTS has a ".1" or LFE channel.

The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.

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.

DVD 6-channel mode

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and this unit, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.

The indication "6CH INPUT" appears in the display during DVD 6-channel mode selection.

Note:

- LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.

Recording mode setting in digital audio source recording (main unit only)

When recording a multi-channel digital audio source, it is recommended to set up the recording mode properly to convert the digital input into the 2-channel analog output. Usually use the "A-REC" (Auto record) mode.

However, some discs often produce sound skipping. The "M-REC" (Manual record) mode should be used with such a disc.

AUTO/MONO INPUT SELECTOR

1 Use [INPUT SELECTOR] to select the source (CD/DVD, DVD/6CH or VIDEO2) you want to record.
2 Set the MD or TAPE recorder to record.
3 Press and hold [AUTO/MONO] for more than 2 seconds to select a recording mode during digital input.

Recording mode	Display	Operation
Recording mode off	---	The digital input record mode is switched off.
Auto record mode	"A-REC"	The digital input signals (DTS, Dolby Digital or PCM) are identified automatically and converted into stereo signals that are ready for recording.
Manual record mode	"M-REC"	The input signal type at the moment this mode is selected is held throughout this mode.

• When the "M-REC" mode is selected, the digital input signal is converted to stereo signals (down-mix). But once the digital signal is changed to other signal, no signal is output.
• When the "A-REC" mode is selected, the digital input signal is converted to stereo signals even if the digital signal is changed.
• When the digital mode changes during recording in the "A-REC" mode, the audio input source may be interrupted momentarily.

For "A-REC" mode:

AUTO DETECT DIGITAL ↓ AUTO DETECT DIGITAL

For "M-REC" mode:

M...REC DIGITAL ↓ C: / D: / R DIGITAL

4 Start playback, then start recording.

- If the audio reproduction stops in the middle due to change in the input signals, etc., press [AUTO/MONO].
