SPEAKER PLACEMENT The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, 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.

Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker’s position from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated according to these distances. Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating position in the room. This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper sound space that the SR4500 and today’s sound systems are able to produce.

ENGLISH SURROUND MODE The SR4500 is equipped with many surround modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played. The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input signal and speaker setup. AUTO When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/ 24 or PCM-audio.
CAUTION This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multichannel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS. In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range frequency response and the purist audio reproduction. 96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in this mode.
ENGLISH The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal The surround mode is selected with the surround mode selector on SR4500 or the remote control unit. However, the sound you hear is subject to the relationship between the selected surround mode and input signal. That relationship is as follows; Surround Mode Input Signal Decoding AUTO Dolby Surr. EX Dolby D (5.1ch) Dolby D(2ch) Dolby D (2ch Surr) DTS-ES DTS 96/24 DTS (5.1ch) PCM(Audio) PCM 96kHz Analog Dolby D Surr.
ATTENUATION TO ANALOG INPUT SIGNAL LISTENING THROUGH HEADPHONES DISPLAY MODE This jack may be used to listen to the SR4500’s output through a pair of headphones. Be certain that the headphones have a standard 1/4" stereo phono plug. (Note that the speakers will automatically be turned off when the headphone jack is in use.)

ENGLISH RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the SR4500 is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for TAPE OUT, CD-R/MD OUT, VCR1 OUT, and DSS/VCR2 OUT in the record mode.
4. If it is necessary to adjust the output level of each channel, press the CH.SEL button on the remote. Adjust the speaker output levels so that you can hear the same sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and surround back speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between –10 to +10 dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted between –15 and +10 dB. These adjustments result will be stored to 7.1 CH. INPUT memory.

ENGLISH Now in use in many countries, RDS (Radio Data System) is a description of the station’s programming hidden space in the FM signal. Your new receiver is equipped with RDS to assist in the selection of FM stations using station and network names, rather than broadcast frequencies. Additional RDS functions include the ability to search for programme types. The RDS system categorizes programmes according to their genre into different programme type (PTY) groups.
The Surround Speaker B system is a function which allows you to listen to the same source in a room other than the room in which the SR4500 is located. The operations possible with the Surround speaker function are explained briefly below. ANOTHER ROOM PLAYBACK USING THE S(SURROUND) SPEAKER B TERMINALS Notes for SURROUND SPEAKER B • SURROUND SPEAKER B On/ Off is available in main room only. • SURROUND SPEAKER B output terminals can be used when the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER is set NONE in SPEAKER SETUP menu.
