Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

- Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.

(See the operating instructions of the speaker system for details.)

Customizing your receiver

Change the settings to suit your speakers and equipment and to suit the environment in which the unit is to be used. Before making any changes, read the following descriptions, note the factory settings and ranges, and refer to the instructions for the speakers and equipment.

The settings remain intact until they are changed, even after the power is turned off.

Setting descriptions

SIZE

Change to suit the speakers you have connected.

LARGE: For speakers that can reproduce a full sound range, particularly the bass range below 100 Hz.

SMALL: For speakers that cannot adequately reproduce the bass range. This setting is sufficient for most speakers if you are using a subwoofer.

NONE: For speakers you haven't connected (center or surround).

The factory settings are: Front: LARGE Center and surround: SMALL

For the subwoofer, select YES if you have connected one (lfactory setting), or NO if you have not.

DISTANCE

Enter the distance of the speakers from the seating position so that the sound from all the speakers (except for the subwoofer) reaches you at the same time.

You can select distances between 3 and 30 feet at one-foot intervals.

The factory settings are: Front and center: 10 FEET Surround: 5 FEET

FILTER

This setting allows you to change the cut-off for bass output from the front speakers. If you set the front speakers to "SMALL", the filter is set to 100 Hz. Raise the cut-off if the bass from the front speakers is unsatisfactory so that this bass is output through the subwoofer.

You can raise the cut-off from 100 Hz to either 150 Hz or 200 Hz.

DR COMP - Dynamic range compression

Change this setting to listen to software at low volume (such as late at night) and maintain audio clarity. This setting works with Dolby Digital software. It reduces the peak level in loud scenes without affecting the sound field.

OFF: The software is played with the original dynamic range (factory setting).

STANDARD: The level recommended by the producer of the software for household viewing.

MAX: The maximum allowable compression (recommended for night viewing).

D-INPUT - Digital input

Change these settings to suit the connections you have made to the three digital input terminals, COAX, OPT1, and OPT2 ( page 7), so that the correct source is selected when you turn [INPUT SELECTOR] ( page 17).

The factory settings are: CD: COAX

DVD: OPT2

TV: OPT1

DSP sound modes

The digital sound processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby Digital signals. It automatically determines the type of signal, PCM or Dolby Digital, and processes it accordingly.

The DSP can add surround-like effects to stereo sources (analog or PCM signals).

Choose from the STEREO, SURROUND, or SFC modes.

The DSP may interfere with radio reception. You can turn it off if this occurs ( page 20).

Output is in stereo when you turn the DSP off so sound is only heard through the front speakers.

Note

• PCM with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz is the digital signal format normally found on CDs. Some DVDs also use this format but often with a higher sampling rate.
• This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as DTS, PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and 192 kHz, and MPEG.

A STEREO mode

Use this mode to play digital or analog stereo sources or to play surround sources through two speakers. When surround sources are played in this mode, the sounds intended for the other speaker channels are played through the front speakers.

B SURROUND mode

Select this mode when you are playing a Dolby Digital surround source or an analog source that is recorded with Dolby Surround (VCR, for example).

Changing the recognition mode

In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital signals on discs. With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the beginning of a track to be cut off. Engage the PCM FIX mode if this occurs.

This mode does not need to be changed under normal circumstances. Change it only if the unit appears to be having trouble recognizing the software you are playing.

While the input source is selected and digital input is engaged:

Press and hold [DIGITAL INPUT].

The current mode is displayed. Press again to change the mode.

Each time you press the button:

AUTO PCM FIX

When the PCM FIX mode is on, the unit cannot process other signals. This may cause noise to be output. Select "AUTO" if this occurs.

The selected mode is stored even if the unit is turned off.
