SC07-05.book Page 9 Friday, April 25, 2008 11:59 AM Simple Home Theater Guide 02 Chapter 2: Simple Home Theater Guide Center (C) Introduction to home theater Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you’re in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on your speaker setup, but also on the source and the sound settings of the receiver.
SC07-05.book Page 10 Friday, April 25, 2008 11:59 AM 02 Simple Home Theater Guide 1 Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) The Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level.

You can also take advantage of progressive scan video (if your source and TV are both compatible), which delivers a very stable, flickerfree picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.
SC07-05.book Page 24 Friday, April 25, 2008 11:59 AM 03 Connecting your equipment Connecting digital audio sources This receiver has both digital inputs and outputs, allowing you to connect digital audio components for playback and for making digital recordings. Most digital components also have analog connections. See Connecting analog audio sources on page 25 if you want to connect these too.
SC07-05.book Page 25 Friday, April 25, 2008 11:59 AM Connecting your equipment 03 Connecting analog audio sources This receiver features five stereo audio-only inputs. One of these inputs have corresponding outputs for use with audio recorders. One of the audio inputs (PHONO) is a dedicated turntable input which should not be used for any other type of component. This input also has a grounding terminal that most turntables require.
