BASIC CONNECTIONS

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7-speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, a surround back left and right speakers, and a subwoofer. For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side. Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80% of the dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel.

It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality.

The surround center speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES.

One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they were frequency limited in earlier "Pro Logic' type systems.

Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system.

FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS

We recommend to set the front L and R speakers with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

CENTER SPEAKER

Align the front line of the center speaker with the front L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a little backward from the line.

When this unit is used in surround operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position.

The center of the center speaker should face the center of the room.

Surround back speakers are required when a full 7.1-channel system is installed.

Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position.

The center of the speaker should face into the room.

SUBWOOFER

We recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximum bass effect. As the subwoofer only handles low frequencies, you can place it any where in the room.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS,

AND A CENTER SPEAKER

Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the three front speakers at the same height, as best as possible.

Note

Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left, right and the center speakers when the speakers are installed near the TV.

Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher than your ears by about 70cm-1m. Also place the speakers at the same height, as best as possible.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

• Be sure to use speakers with the specified impedance as shown on the rear panel of this unit.
• When connecting a powered subwoofer (one with a built-in amplifier), connect it to the PRE OUT subwoofer output terminal.

Notes

• To prevent damage to circuitry, do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit.

• Do not touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. It may cause you to receive an electric shocks.

Abbreviations

L/R : Front speakers

C:Center speaker

SL/SR : Surround speakers

BR : Surround back speakers

SubW: Subwoofer

AUTO

When this mode is selected, the unit determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 or PCM audio.

Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel sources that have a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES auto trigger flag in the digital signal.

When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played.

Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic IIx movie processing before play.

PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this mode.

Notes

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as skip or stop may momentarily interrupt the output.
• When the signal is not decoded, the mode is changed to AUTO mode automatically. See page 38 to confirm the available decoding modes.

SOURCE DIRECT

In SOURCE DIRECT mode, the tone control circuit ROOM EQ and HT-EQ are bypassed for full-range frequency response and the purest audio reproduction.

Dolby Digital EX

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program.

This channel, called surround back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels.

This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.

Dolby Digital EX is not available in systems that do not have without surround back speaker(s).

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)

DTS-ES adds the surround center 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.

This unit incorporates a DTS-ES-decoder, which can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc.

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels, including the surround back channel(s), and higher quality audio reproduction.

DTS-ES is not available in systems that do not have surround back speakers.

MODE

(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic IIx MOVIE, Pro Logic IIx MUSIC, Pro Logic IIx GAME)

This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.

DOLBY DIGITAL

This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in Dolby Digital.

Playing multichannel-encoded 5.1 channel Dolby Digital sources provides 5 main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and a Low Frequency Effect channel.

Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this mode.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx has 5 modes:

Pro Logic IIx MOVIE

This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from Dolby Surround, encoded stereo movie soundtracks.

Pro Logic IIx MUSIC

This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources (analog or digital), such as CD, tape, FM, TV, stereo VCR, etc.

Pro Logic IIx GAME

This mode restores the impact low-frequency surround effects by routing them to the system's subwoofer.

5.1ch + Pro Logic IIx Movie

This mode provides 7.1 channel surround sound from 5.1 channel sources movie soundtracks.

5.1ch + Pro Logic IIx Music

This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from 5.1 channel sources music soundtracks.

Notes

• Pro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II mode when the Surr. B is set to "NO" from SPEAKER SETUP menu. (See page 22)
• Pro Logic IIx mode is available for a 2 channel input signal which is encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD or PCM format.

DTS

dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music

This mode is for DTS-encoded source materials such as laserdisc, CD and DVD. Neo:6 is for some 2 channel sources.

dt

This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in dts multichannel.

Playing multichannel encoded-5.1 channel dts sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and a Low Frequency Effects channel.

dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode.

The DTS mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music

This mode decodes 2 channel signals into 6 channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology.

The DTS Neo:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separation.

According to the signals to be played back, DTS Neo:6 uses either the Neo:6 Cinema mode optimized for movie playback or the Neo:6 Music mode optimized for music playback.

Note

• The Neo:6 mode is available for 2 channel input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD or PCM format.

STEREO

This mode bypasses all surround processing.

In stereo program sources, the left and right channels play normally when PCM audio or analog stereo is input.

With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in stereo mode.

OTHERS

MULTI CH STEREO

This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material. This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both the left front and left surround speakers and the right channel signal to both the right front and right surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.

Note

• Audio is not output from the CENTER channel when using MULTI CH. MUSIC mode.

VIRTUAL

This mode provides a dynamic and broad sound space to heighten the overall impact of the sound track.

CAUTION

Note for DTS

• To connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD player needs to support DTS digital output. You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the unit digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response), and the unit cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.
• Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
• While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are playing in another surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU or by pressing the A/D button.
• The outputs for VCR OUT output analog audio signals only. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

Note or Dolby Digital Surround EX

• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/ES mode.
  Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software does not contain the identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.

Note for 96 kHz PCM audio

• The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96kHz (such as from DVD-Video/ Audio discs).
  Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to the player's operation manual.
• Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player's operation manual.

- dts Digital Surround

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of discrete digital audio into home theater systems. DTSbringsyoupremiumqualitydiscretemultichannel digital sound to both movies and music.

DTS is a multichannel sound system designed to create full range digital sound reproduction.

The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy of the studio master recordings to neighborhood and home theaters.

Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as the moviemaker intended.

DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music on of DVD's, LD's, and CD's.

- dts Neo:6

The advantages of discrete multichannel systems over matrix are well known.

But even in homes equipped for discrete multichannel, there remains a need for high-quality matrix decoding. This is because of the large library of matrix surround motion pictures available on disc and on VHS tape; and analog television broadcasts. The typical matrix decoder of today derives a center channel and a mono surround channel from two-channel matrix stereo material. It is better than a simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to improve separation, but because of its mono, band-limited surround it can be disappointing to users accustomed to discrete multichannel.

Neo:6 offers several important improvements as follow,

• Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six and five separate channels, respectively, corresponding to the standard home-theater speaker layouts.
• Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements within a channel or channels to be steered separately, and in a way which follows naturally from the original presentation.
• Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo nonmatrix recordings into the five- or six-channel layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo recording.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichannel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999.

In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back) 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 DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.

- dts Digital Surround 96/24

The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at 44.1kHz . Professional audio has been 20- or 24-bit for some time, and there is increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency response and the use of antilalias and reconstruction filters with more favorable aural characteristics.

DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to be encoded at a rate of 96kHz / 24 bits on DVD-Video titles.

When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to deliver 24-bit, 96kHz audio into the home, but only in two channels, and with serious limitations on picture. This capability has had little use.

DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a new player is needed, and only analog outputs are provided, necessitating the use of the D/A converters and analog electronics provided in the player.

DTS 96/24 offers the following:

1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24 master.
2. Full backward compatibility with all existing decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48 kHz signal)
3. No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be carried on DVD-video, or in the video zone of DVD-audio, accessible to all DVD players.
   4.96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-motion video, for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

Master Audio

DTS-HD Master Audio is capable of delivering audio that is a bit-for-bit identical to the studio master. DTS-HD Master Audio delivers audio at super high variable bit rates -24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps) on Blu-ray discs and 18.0 Mbps on HD-DVD - that are significantly higher than standard DVDs. This bit stream is so "fast" and the transfer rate is so "high" that it can deliver the Holy Grail of audio: 7.1 audio channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths that are identical to the original. With DTS-HD Master Audio, you will be able to experience movies and music, exactly as the artist intended: clear, pure, and uncompromised.

DOLBY

DIGITAL EX RO LOGIC IIx

Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital audio coding for such consumer formats as DVD and DTV. As with film sound, Dolby Digital can provide up to five full-range channels for left, center, and right screen channels, independent left and right surround channels, and a sixth (.1") channel for low-frequency effects.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround program material; provides a convincing three-dimensional soundfield on conventional stereo music recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 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 movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

About Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology delivers a natural and immersing 7.1-channel listening experience to the home theater environment. A product of Dolby's expertise in surround sound and matrix decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a complete surround sound solution that maximizes the entertainment experience from stereo as well as 5.1-channel encoded sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic technology and can optimally decode the thousands of commercially available Dolby Surround encoded video cassettes and television programs with enhanced depth and spatiality. It can also process any high-quality stereo or Advanced Resolution 5.1-channel music content into a seamless 6.1- or 7.1-channel listening experience.

DOLBY

TRUEID

Dolby® TrueHD is Dolby's next-generation lossless technology developed for high-definition disc-based media.
