This manual is divided into three sections, Preparations, Operations,  
and Additional Information.  
True home theater sound  
This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring  
you maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround  
mode according to your equipment or the software you are going to  
Preparations  
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the  
receiver and prepare the surround processor.  
play and enjoy!  
We will guide you to make setting up your system as easy as possible.  
However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video  
components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.  
Dolby Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo  
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from  
Preparations  
video software marked  
.
The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to  
steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals.  
The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left  
and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.  
Operations  
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the  
receiver.  
Dolby Digital  
Additional Information  
The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from  
softwareprocessedintheDolbyDigitalformat.DolbyDigital provides  
up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound  
quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby  
Surround.  
Shows you additional information such as "In case of difficulty" (trouble-  
shooting) and "Specifications".  
DVD 6-channel input  
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this  
receiver allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD  
source material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source  
signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the  
resulting ambience is far superior to what can be achieved with  
conventional surround sound systems.  
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner  
The receiver is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several  
convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically  
preset up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station  
name display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station;  
and PTY search to let you tune stations by program type.  
PTY (Program TYpe) search  
Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.

Setting up the system  
Make connections as shown in the following pages.  
When connecting the related system components, be sure  
to also refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the  
components you are connecting.  
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all  
connections are completed.  
Input mode settings  
CD/DVD, DVD/6ch and VIDEO2 inputs each include jacks for digital  
audio input and analog audio input.  
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each  
connected component.  
7
The initial factory settings is to use the digital audio signal for  
playback (CD/DVD, DVD/6ch and VIDEO2).  
VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks  
The receiver’sVIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks can be used in two different  
ways. Make the appropriate setting for the component connected to  
the jack when the receiver is turned on.  
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you  
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 input), you must set the input  
mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.  
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the  
steps below.  
Use as a VIDEO 2 jack  
You can connect a video deck or the like to these jacks and perform  
video playback and recording. The initial factory setting is "VIDEO 2".  
INPUT SELECTOR  
P
Use as a MONITOR jack  
You can connect a cassette deck or the like to these jacks and make  
use of the deck’s monitoring function during recording. Alternately,  
you can connect a graphic equalizer to these jacks to apply compen-  
sation to the music signal.  
To use the VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks as MONITOR jacks, hold down  
the MONITOR key of the main unit for more than two seconds so that  
the indication shown below appears.

Digital input:  
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD  
player.  
Analog input:  
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,  
or record player.  
Auto sound:  
In the auto sound mode (AUTO SOUND indicator lights), the  
receiver selects the listening mode automatically during playback to  
match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM) and the speaker  
setting. The initial factory setting is auto sound on.  
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode,  
use the INPUT MODE key to select "D-MANUAL" (manual sound).  
However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases in  
which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a Dolby  
Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening  
mode and source signal.  
Notes  
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are  
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.  
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging  
or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection  
cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions  
and may damage the unit.  
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be  
produced.  
3. Donotconnectpowercordsfromcomponentswhichpowerconsump-  
tion is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this  
unit.  
Analog connections  
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer  
stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the audio signal  
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually  
have 2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for  
the left channel. These cables are usually packaged with the source unit,  
or are available at your local electronics retailer.

Tuning (non-RDS) radio stations  
Using RDS (Radio Data System)  
21  
RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of digital  
data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and  
receivers designed for RDS reception can extract the information from  
the broadcast signal for use with various functions, such as automatic  
display of the station name.  
Radio stations can be classified into RDS (Radio Data System) stations  
and other stations. To listen to or store RDS stations in the preset  
memory, see the section entitled, "Using RDS".

Note  
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround  
left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby  
Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and  
Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front  
speakers.  
Dolby 3 Stereo  
Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround  
speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround informa-  
tion is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is  
designed for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also  
improve sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround  
encoded. Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however,  
may not be as accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby  
Surround encoded.

Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low

The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input  
for this channel.  
DVD 6-channel mode  
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels  
and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source  
material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and  
each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,  
sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.

Convenient functions  
27  
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels  
and the receiver, you can enjoy surround sound playback.  
When you try to play a disc other than Dolby Digital such as CD, no  
sound is produced or, noise may be heard. To avoid this situation, make  
sure that you connect the component to the receiver’s DVD/6ch INPUT  
jacks through a surround processor which can decode the surround  
signal you want to listen to.

Connecting a DVD player which can decode the surround signal itself  
is also acceptable.

2 Use the MULTI CONTROL to adjust the setting as desired.  
• The adjustment item is displayed for approximately 8 seconds.  
Midnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)  
4Adjust the volume.  
When watching movies at night , you might not be able to raise the  
volume as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic  
range of previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (like  
scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in  
volume between the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it  
easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.  
• It is not possible individually to adjust the volume level or sound  
quality (SET UP, SOUND) of the separate channels when the  
receiver is in the DVD/6ch mode. Adjust the volume with the  
controls of the DVD player.  
For the powered subwoofer, you can adjust the volume of the  
subwoofer using the subwoofer’s own volume control.  
1 Press the SOUND key several times until "NIGHT" is displayed.  
• This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD/6ch or VIDEO2 is  
selected as the source and the listen mode is set to "DOLBY  
DIGITAL."
