PREPARATION SPEAKER SETUP This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality.
CONNECTIONS Before Connecting Components CAUTION Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been completed. Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some components require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each component to be connected to this unit.
CONNECTIONS Connecting an Audio Component CD player R Be sure to connect the right channel (R), left channel (L), input (IN) and output (OUT) properly.
CONNECTIONS Connecting a Video Component DIGITAL SIGNAL (COAXIAL) DVD/LD player DIGITAL SIGNAL (OPTICAL) L R C O ANALOG AUDIO OUT MAIN SURROUND • Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not being used in order to protect them from dust. • If your LD player has a Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal, be sure to use the RF demodulator (separately purchased).
CONNECTIONS ■ S VIDEO terminals TV Monitor Cable TV/ satellite tuner TV/Digital TV S VIDEO OUT S 1 2 3 IN DVD/LD D–TV S VIDEO IN S OUT VCR CBL/SAT S 4 MONITOR OUT DV S VIDEO SIGNAL S S Video signal Notes • Use a special S VIDEO cable (commercially available) for the S VIDEO connection. • If video signals are input from both the S VIDEO input and composite input terminals, the signals will be directed to their respective output terminals.
CONNECTIONS ■ Speaker cables Other connections ■ Using this unit as a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder 10 mm (3/8”) 1 2 1 Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from each of the speaker cables. 2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits. Connect the OUTPUT terminals (MAIN, REAR, CENTER and SUBWOOFER) of this unit to the EXTERNAL DECODER or 6 CHANNEL input terminals of the external amplifier.
CONNECTIONS IMPEDANCE SELECTOR Switch Select the right or left position according to the impedance of speakers in your system. Be sure to move this switch only when this unit is in the standby mode. INTRODUCTION WARNING Do not change the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch setting while the power of this unit is on, otherwise the unit may be damaged. If this unit fails to turn on when STANDBY/ON (POWER) is pressed, the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be fully slide to either position.
ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, center and rear speakers by using the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor, the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder and DTS decoder.
ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE 6 Press h to raise and l to lower the level. • Adjust the sound output levels of the center speaker and the rear speakers so that they become almost the same as that of the main speakers. • While adjusting, the test tone is heard from the selected speaker. 7 TIME/LEVEL DSP PREPARATION Press TIME/LEVEL repeatedly to select the speaker to be adjusted. “CENTER”, “R SUR.” or “L SUR.” appears on the display. INTRODUCTION 5 When the adjustment is complete, press TEST.

PLAYING A SOURCE Input Mode (for the DVD/LD, D-TV and CBL/SAT sources) This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources that send both digital and analog signals to this unit. The AUTO, DTS and ANALOG input modes are provided. ■ Switching the input mode Press INPUT MODE (or the input selector button that you have pressed to select the input source on the remote control) repeatedly until the desired input mode is shown on the display.
PLAYING A SOURCE ■ Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS • Some audio/video component, such as LD player, output different audio signals through their analog and digital terminals. Change the input mode as necessary. • If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP) EFFECT Notes Selecting a DSP Program You can enhance your listening experience by selecting a DSP program. Refer to pages 22 to 24 for details about each program.
RECORDING A SOURCE ON TAPE, MD OR VIDEO CASSETTE 2 1,4 y If a tape deck or MD recorder is being used for recording, you can monitor the sounds being recorded by pressing TAPE/MD MON / 6CH INPUT (or TAPE/MD).
ADVANCED OPERATION TEST EFFECT SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DSP TIME/LEVEL SET MENU This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theaterlike experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to).
SOUND FIELD PROGRAM No. 2 FEATURES [1] 70 mm ADVENTURE (ox) • Input source: Dolby Surround 2-ch Dolby Digital • Output channel: 3 channels • DSP: 2 (presence & surround) [2] DGTL ADVENTURE (gx) • Input source: Dolby Digital • Output channel: 5.1 channels • DSP: 3 (presence & surround L, R) [3] DTS ADVENTURE ( t x ) • Input source: DTS • Output channel: 5.1 channels • DSP: 3 (presence & surround L, R) Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of the newest multi-track films.
SOUND FIELD PROGRAM No. PROGRAM FEATURES 4 MONO MOVIE ( x ) • Input source: Monaural • Output channel: 1 channel • DSP: 1 This program is designed specifically to enhance monaural sources. Compared to a strictly mono setting, the sound image is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair, lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective for old mono movie, news broadcasts and dialog. 5 TV SPORTS ( x ) • Input source: Audio/Video • Output channel: 2 to 5.
