Positioning Speakers  
I Two speaker system  
Two speaker systems (FRONT SPEAKERS A and FRONT SPEAKERS B) can be connected to the DVD Changer Receiver.  
For example, you can place the FRONT SPEAKERS A system in the main room, and the FRONT SPEAKERS B system in a  
second room.  
The configuration of the FRONT SPEAKERS A system  
The FRONT SPEAKERS A system consists of the front left, center, and right speakers, surround left and right speakers, and  
subwoofer.  
You can reproduce the sounds such as Dolby surround and DTS surround.  
The configuration of the FRONT SPEAKERS B system  
The FRONT SPEAKERS B system consists of the front left and right speakers.  
You can reproduce only monaural and stereo sounds.  
I Standard speaker placement of the FRONT SPEAKERS A system  
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending  
on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard  
speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.  
For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed.  
If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the connected  
speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.  
Front  
Sub-woofer  
The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the  
perception of the sound's source and movement.  
Front

Speaker  
Front

Speaker  
TV/Screen  
The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and  
be placed at ear level.  
Front

Speaker  
Surround  
The surround speakers reproduce the feel of a moving sound while  
creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.  
Place the left and right surround speakers 3 feet (1 meter) above the  
listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure  
that the listener is within the speakers’ dispersion angle.  
Subwoofer  
Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass  
sounds.  
The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the  
sound image much, therefore, you can install it wherever it is convenient.

I Using the provided speaker labels  
The speaker terminals (+) of this unit are given different colors for ease of identification. By attaching the provided speaker labels to  
the speaker cables, the cables to be connected to the terminals can be identified easily.  
Attach the speaker label of each color to the speaker cable for the corresponding terminal and connect the speaker cable to the  
terminal having the same color as the label attached to the cable.  
The speaker terminals are colored as follows.  
Front left speaker (+): white

Notes  
• Install the antenna well away from tall buildings and in an area where FM stations can directly be received.  
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).  
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.  
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2  
when you install the outdoor antenna.  
Directional Iinkage  
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each  
other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.

Enjoying the Sound Effects  
The surround sound of the DVD Changer Receiver enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your  
room.  
Before using any sound effect, make sure the Speaker Setup configurations have been set (see pages 24-26).  
The speaker configuration is very important for the surround sound. See “Connecting Speakers” on page 16 and “Positioning  
Speakers” on page 17.  
Following are the sound systems the DVD Changer Receiver can reproduce.  
• Some CD players (if connected to the DVD Changer Receiver)  
and LD players may be unable to play DTS Surround sources  
correctly even if you connect the player to the DVD Changer  
DOLBY DIGITAL Surround and DTS (Digital  
Theater System) Surround  
Receiver digitally. In such a case, the digital signals (such as the  
output level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.)  
processed by the DVD Changer Receiver cannot be recognized as  
DTS data by the DVD Changer Receiver and you may hear noise  
instead of the proper sound.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II Surround  
This is a new generation 5-channel surround system,  
bridging the gap between the previous 4-channel (Left/Right  
Front, Center and monaural surround channels) Pro Logic  
surround and 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround. Dolby Pro  
Logic II provides the Movie mode optimized for viewing  
movies and the Music mode optimized for listening to music.  
In the Movie mode, the surround channel, which was  
monaural and based on narrow band, is reproduced in stereo  
so that the feeling of movement in the played movies is more  
enhanced. In the Music mode, the surround channel  
reproduces natural sound field even with 2-channel music  
sources.

This 5.1 channel digital surround format enables you to

To playback DTS Surround sound from connected equipment  
such as an LD player, you must make the digital connection  
in addition to the above speaker configuration.  
Orchestra  
This mode is suitable for classical and opera music. The  
center channel is cut and the surround channels are  
emphasized to widen the stereo image. It simulates a natural  
reverberation as created in a large hall.  
Notes on DTS Surround  
• If you play a DTS Surround encoded disc with the DVD Changer  
Receiver, or a DTS encoded disc using a digitally connected  
player, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS  
decoder of the DVD Changer Receiver recognizes the DTS  
encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.  
• If you play a DTS Surround source in fast reverse or fast forward,  
pause, or skip a chapter or track, noise may be heard. This is not  
a malfunction.  
• Even when playback of the DTS Surround source stops and the  
DTS signal transmission ends, the DVD Changer Receiver  
remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This is to  
prevent noise when you pause, fast forward, fast reverse, or skip a  
chapter or track of the playback source. Therefore, if the source  
switches from the DTS signal to a PCM (2 channel digital stereo)  
signal immediately, the PCM signal may not be played. In such a  
case, stop playback for about three seconds, then resume  
playback.  
Unplugged  
This mode is suitable for acoustic instrumental sounds,  
vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo  
image, it simulates the acoustics in front of the stage.  
Studio  
This mode is suitable for rock and popular music. Lively  
sounds with a powerful acoustic image will make you feel as  
if you are in a club.  
TV Logic  
This mode offers the realistic acoustics of a TV program  
being aired in the TV studio. It enhances the entire surround  
sound and clarity of conversation.  
All Ch St (All Channel Stereo)  
This mode is useful for background music. The front and  
surround channels will create a stereo image.

normal learning function that enables the remote  
controller to learn the codes from other remote  
controllers.  
• With some brand’s components, some buttons may not  
work correctly. In this case, program the command  
separately.

Programming the commands of remote  
controllers for other devices into the  
remote controller  
When programming the commands of another remote  
controller to the RC-504M remote controller, you must first  
decide under which MODE button you want the commands to  
be linked. In general, you will select the MODE button that  
corresponds to the component you are programming.  
After programming which MODE button to use, you will then  
transfer the separate commands from the other remote  
controller over to the RC-504M remote controller one at a  
time. Each command is then programmed to a different button  
on the RC-504M remote controller. Any button is

Notes:  
Press and hold down the button  
(that corresponds to the command  
you are programming) on the  
remote controller of the other  
device until the SEND/LEARN  
indicator on the remote controller  
flashes twice.  
• The remote controller has 220 memory slots (4 modes x 55  
buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands  
that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases,  
it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are  
more important than others. (According to the type of the remote  
controller, 220 commands cannot be programmed.)  
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the  
programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during  
programming, the remote controller exits the programming mode.  
Resume from Step 2.

After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN

• If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN  
indicator flashes three times quickly. Resume from Step 3.  
• If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, the  
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from  
Step 3.  
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote  
controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly.  
• When you want to program a command to a button to which you  
have already programmed a command, simply follow the same  
procedure given and programming for that button will be  
overwritten.  
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its  
commands, as do most other remote controllers. Though  
most remote controller codes can be memorized by the  
remote controller, be aware that some remote controllers use  
a system that is quite different from the remote controller  
and therefore may not be able to be programmed.  
• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs  
multiple functions (for example, the function may change  
each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each  
function must be programmed to a separate button on the  
remote controller.  
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all  
the commands you desire from the  
other remote controller and  
program them to buttons on the  
remote controller under the same  
MODE.  
Repeat steps 2 through 4 to program  
commands to a different MODE (e.g.,  
when programming from a different  
remote controller).  
Press the MODE button that you  
pressed in step 2 to complete the  
programming.

Operate the newly programmed  
buttons to make sure the learning  
function was performed properly.

• Once you have transferred the commands from the other  
remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came  
with that product for instructions on how to operate that  
product.  
• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote  
controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries  
that are low, you may not be able to program the commands  
of the other remote controller properly into the remote  
controller.  
See page 62 for how to erase the memorized commands from  
all buttons.
