3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING • Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks. • Whenever the AVR-4802 is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage. Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.
5 CONNECTIONS • Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed. • Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right). • Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise. • Use the AC OUTLETS for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc. • Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other noise.
Connecting video components • To connect the video signal, connect using a 75 Ω/ohms video signal cable cord. Using an improper cable can result in a drop in picture quality. • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
Connecting a video component equipped with S-Video jacks • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. • A note on the S input jacks The input selectors for the S inputs and pin jack inputs work in conjunction with each other.
Connecting a Video Component Equipped with Color Difference (Component - Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) Video Jacks (DVD Player) • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. • The signals input to the color difference (component) video jacks are not output from the VIDEO output jack (yellow) or the S-Video output jack.

16 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Optimum surround sound for different sources There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels). 2 Types of multi-channel signals Dolby Digital (EX), Dolby Pro Logic, DTS (ES), high definition 3-1 signals (Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD), MPEG multi-channel audio, etc. “Source” here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content.
Surround back speakers The THX Surround EX format adds new “Surround Back” (SB) channels to the conventional 5.1-channel system. This makes it easy to achieve sound positioned directly behind the listener, something that was previously difficult with sources designed for conventional multi surround speakers.
Speaker setting examples Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type of speakers used and the main usage purpose. 1. For THX Surround EX systems (using surround back speakers) (1) Basic setting for primarily watching movies This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers.
(3) When using different surround speakers for movies and music To achieve more effective surround sound for both movies and music, use different sets of surround speakers and different surround modes for the two types of sources.
Surround The AVR-4802 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater. (1) Dolby Surround q Dolby Digital (Dolby Surround AC-3) Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital consists of up to “5.
w Dolby Pro Logic II • Dolby Pro Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. • Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound.
1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output as random “hissy” noise from the CD or LD player’s analog outputs. If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it may possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS” before playing CDs or LDs recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the input mode to “ANALOG” or “PCM” during playback.
(4) DTS 96/24 The sampling frequency, number of bits and number of channels used for recording of music, etc., in studios has been increasing in recent years, and there are a growing number of high quality signal sources, including 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel sources. For example, there are high picture/sound quality DVD video sources with 96 kHz/24 bit stereo PCM audio tracks.
(6) THX Surround EX In 1999, a new surround system was launched simultaneously with the release of the movie “Star Wars Episode I”. “Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a new movie sound track that greatly enhances the sense of spatial expression and the positioning of the surround channel sound. The result is 360 degrees of movement and moving sound effects that seem to pass right over the listener's head.
