HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) provides the highest quality high-definition video  
and multichannel audio. HDMI can carry both uncompressed high-definition video and  
multichannel audio in all HD formats.Therefore just one single cable is needed for connecting  
your DFR9000 to HDMI-enabled equipment.Your DFR9000 has one HDMI output for  
connecting to an HDTV and two HDMI inputs for connecting to an HDMI-enabled SACD  
player and another HDMI source device.  
For HDMI connection an optional HDMI connection cable is required.  
Notes:  
HDMI connection can only be made to HDMI-equipped components with HDCP (High  
Bandwidth Digital Content Protection). If you wish to connect to a DVI connector (equipped with  
HDCP), you will need a separate adapter (DVI to HDMI) to do so.A DVI (with HDCP)  
connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more  
information.  
If you are using an HDMI source device with HDCP as input to your DFR9000, the output  
device (e.g. a TV) also has to be connected via HDMI (with HDCP).  
No high definition audio data (SACD, DVD-Audio) via HDMI is supported!  
Make sure the receiver is switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet before making  
any connections.

4.8 Connecting speakers  
We will describe connection of a complete setup of seven speakers (including subwoofer and  
surround back speaker), but everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you  
have as described below.The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front  
speakers in the illustration) but a complete setup is best for surround sound. As a minimum we  
recommend five speakers (two front speakers, a centre speaker and two surround speakers) for  
good surround sound. It is possible to reproduce some kind of surround sound with fewer  
speakers.This is done by redirecting the signals which are intended for the missing speakers to  
the existing ones. See '6.4 Setting the speaker size and distance', '6,5 Setting the speaker  
volume' '10.2 Balance menu' and '10.3 Speakers menu' on how to set up the receiver correctly  
for the number and size of the speakers used.  
Notes:  
– Always switch off your receiver before making any connections.  
– Speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 and 8 can be connected, but speakers with a  
nominal impedance of 4 give the best performance.

4.9 Positioning the speakers  
Speaker positioning in a multichannel home theatre system can noticeably improve the quality  
of sound reproduced. Speakers are usually designed to perform best at a particular position.  
This could be on the floor, on stands, near the wall or away from walls.  
Below you will find a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers, but you should  
also follow the instructions on positioning in the Instructions for use, supplied with your  
speakers to get the most out of them.  
General hints for positioning  
If possible, use the same model or brand of speakers for all front speakers.This creates a  
seamless front soundstage and eliminates the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances  
that occur when a sound moves across mismatched front-channel speakers.  
Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner, as this will boost the bass tones too much.  
Placing the speakers behind curtains, furniture etc. will reduce the treble response, thus  
reducing the stereo effect considerably.The listener should still be able to 'see' the  
speakers.  
TV  
Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the positioning possibilities are often  
limited.You can find the best position for your speakers by experimenting. In general, the  
speakers should be arranged as symmetrically as possible in the room.  
CENTRE  
SUB  
WOOFER  
FRONT

Positioning the front speakers  
Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from theTV.  
The front speakers should be arranged so that, viewed from the listener’s position, the  
speaker connected to the 'L' terminals of the receiver is on the left and the speaker  
connected to the 'R' terminals is on the right of the listener.This can be checked with the  
balance control in the system menu.

ENGLISH  
The best height for the front speakers is when the high tone speakers (tweeters) are at  
ear height (while seated).  
To avoid magnetic interference with the picture on yourTV, do not position the front  
speakers too close to theTV.  
Positioning the centre speaker  
The centre speaker should be placed centrally between the front speakers, e.g. underneath  
or on top of theTV.  
The best height for the centre speaker is at the height of your ears (while seated).  
Positioning the surround speakers  
The surround speaker connected to the 'SL' terminals of the receiver should be on the left  
and the speaker connected to the 'SR' terminals on the right of the listener.This can be  
checked with the balance control in the system menu.  
If possible, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level.  
The left and right surround speakers should face each other and be in line with the listener  
or behind him.  
Place the surround back speaker right behind the listener at the same distance and height  
as the surround left and right speakers.  
Tr y not to place the surround speakers further away from the listening position than the  
front and centre speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.  
Positioning the subwoofer  
A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of your system.  
If possible, place the subwoofer to the left or right of the centre speaker as seen from the  
front of the centre speaker.  
Bass level can be increased by placing the subwoofer closer to a corner.  
4.10 Connecting antennas  
Caution!  
Always make sure the receiver is switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet  
before making or changing any connections.  
FM antenna  
For best reception connect the FM connector (18) to the community or cable antenna  
system or to a roof-mounted FM antenna with an impedance of 75 OHM ().  
If none of these is available, you may use the wire antenna supplied for nearby stations  
(reception could be poor).  
Vary the position and direction of the antenna until you find the strongest FM reception  
and then secure the antenna in that position.  
CD IN CD-R IN AUX IN  
DAB antenna  
Connect the DAB antenna supplied to the DAB connector (18) of your DFR9000.  
Hang up the antenna in a T-shape, turned 90º to the side, preferably close to a window.  
Do not attach the antenna to a metal surface.  
Vary the position and direction of the antenna until you find the strongest reception and  
then secure the antenna in that position.  
CD IN CD-R IN AUX IN  
AM antenna  
Connect the wires of the AM antenna supplied to the AM antenna connector (18).  
Make sure that the antenna terminals close on the bare wire of the antenna and not on  
the plastic insulation.  
Turn the antenna for optimum reception.

6.4 Setting the speaker size and distance  
The receiver must know how many speakers are connected and how big they are.The size  
(large or small) determines the amount of bass, sent from the receiver to the speakers.  
To ensure the best possible surround sound you must specify the distance from your listening  
position to the various speakers.This is particularly important when using Dolby surround and  
DTS.You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your  
current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.).  
Note: Please refer to the Instructions for Use of your speaker system for more detaild setup  
information.

Tips:  
When you have connected a passive subwoofer to the 6.1SB/5.1SUB sockets (17) in a 5.1  
configuration, 'SB size' must be set to 'Subwoofer'.  
Whenever a subwoofer is connected, 'SUB' must be set to 'YES' or 'Always'.  
For speakers that are not connected, select 'None'.  
The centre speaker is normally placed directly in the front of the listening room and closer  
to the listening position than the front speakers.This means that sound from the centre  
speaker will be heard before sound from the front speakers.To prevent this, set the centre  
speaker distance ('C distance') a little further than it actually is. In this way sound from the  
front and centre speakers will be heard at the same time.

coming from the digital inputs can be recorded directly on the connected audio recorder  
(except signals coming from M-CH IN (24).The receiver will also convert all signals coming  
from the analogue inputs to the digital output.The receiver can be used to record digitally a  
multichannel surround sound audio signal (Dolby Digital, or DTS) from, for example, DVD to  
CD-R.The receiver will convert the digital multichannel signal into a stereo signal without loss of  
relevant sound information.

9. Surround modes  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital is an encoding, transmission and decoding standard for stereo up to 5.1 channels  
of digital audio. It is available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It  
provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency effects  
channel and delivers high-quality multichannel audio without compromising video performance.  
Dolby Digital is the world wide audio standard for DVD-Video.  
Dolby Digital EX  
Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1 channel operation. Dolby Digital EX introduces  
a centre rear channel to the 5.1 playback format.This additional channel provides increased  
spatiality and realism for audio effects that pan from front to back, as well as enhanced  
localization of surround channels that originate from directly behind the listener.  
When used with movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX  
reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1 soundfield is available.When the  
receiver is set for 6.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is  
automatically selected.  
Dolby Pro Logic II x  
Processes stereo movie and music content into six independent playback channels of full  
bandwith surround sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic II x Movie is optimized for movie soundtracks, especially those recorded in  
Dolby Surround.The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to  
Dolby Digital EX.  
Dolby Pro Logic II x Music is optimized for music.The surround effect is more enveloping  
than Pro Logic II Movie.  
DTS  
DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel surround sound format, similar to Dolby Digital. DTS  
(DigitalTheater System) features up to five discrete (independent) channels (front centre, front  
left, front right, surround left, surround right) of full frequency sound plus a sixth channel for  
low frequency effects (LFE).The LFE signal is usually reserved for the subwoofer or speakers  
capable of reproducing low frequency ranges.  
DTS ES  
DTS Extended Surround is a 6.1-channel surround sound format that extends the 5.1-channel  
surround sound format with one additional speaker located in the back of the listener (i.e., back  
surround channel). DTS ES comes in two versions: DTS Extended Surround Matrix and DTS  
Extended Surround Discrete 6.1.  
DTS 96/24  
DTS 96/24 offers high-quality 5.1-channel sound playback on DVD-Video and is fully backward-  
compatible with all DTS decoders. '96' refers to a 96kHz sampling rate (compared to typical  
48kHz sampling rate.) '24' refers to 24-bit word length.  
DTS Neo:6  
DTS Neo:6 provides up to six channels of matrix decoding from stereo matrix material.  
Neo:6 Cinema is suitable for movies. Neo:6 Cinema delivers good channel separation for  
movie soundtracks.  
Neo:6 Music is suitable for music. It plays the stereo source more through the front left/right  
speakers, and generates a natural, ambient surround and centre sound.

10. System menu overview  
In this chapter we will give an overview and explanation of all menu items and settings.  
For menu navigation see '6. System menu'.The system menu is accessed by pressing the  
SYSTEM MENU (5).The buttons that can be used for navigating through the menus are shown  
on the middle display and on the bottom of theTV screen.  
When an item is greyed out this means that it cannot be activated/adjusted (yet).  
E.g. 'Move preset' in the 'Tuner' menu when no preset stations are stored yet or 'TV out' in  
the 'Picture' menu when HDMI enabled equipment is connected.  
10.1 Configuration menu  
In the 'Configuration' menu you can set basic configuration settings for your DFR9000.  
Settings can be made for the following items:  
Timer  
Selects the delay time after which the receiver automatically switches to Standby.The following  
delay times (in minutes) can be selected: 30 Min, 60 Min, 90 Min and 120 Min.The timer will be  
set to 'Off' automatically when the receiver is switched to Standby.  
Audio delay  
Synchronizes the audio and video signal for A/V sources.  
(Only available if audio and video exist for  
the currently selected source.)  
Synchronizing is done in steps of 10 milliseconds from 0 to 150.When setting the audio delay  
time, select the A/V source first before opening the system menu.You can then see the picture  
on the A/V source and adjust the sound at the same time.The effect can directly be seen on  
theTV screen.This setting has an extra menu level, indicated by the highlighted 2 icon at the  
bottom of theTV screen and the lit 2 icon in the middle display, allowing you to adjust the  
value using 3 and 4 (2). Confirm the adjustment with OK (4) or press 1 to go back to the  
previous level without storing the adjustment.You cannot switch to another source while  
setting the delay time.  
C(entre)Width  
C(entre) Gain  
Night mode

Shifts the ratio between left/right and centre speaker output.  
Use this option to adjust sound reception if stereo sound is used in DPLIIx Music mode.  
Adjusts the centre content in the left/right speaker output.To adjust sound reception if stereo  
sound is used in DTS Neo:6 Music mode.  
Reduces the volume differences between loud and quiet passages.Night mode is available only  
for Dolby Digital and DTS signals and only if supported by the source material (e. g. a movie).  
Selects between 6.1 (7.1) channel input or 3 times stereo input.When selecting 'MULTI-CH'  
the 'M-CH IN' input sockets (24) can be used for multichannel connection.  
When '3 x STEREO' is selected the 'L/R', 'SL/SR' and 'C/SUB' sockets (24) can be used for  
3x stereo connection (CD IN, CDR-IN and AUX IN).  
M(ultichannel) Subw(oofer) (Gain)  
Rec(ord) Audio  
Analogue multichannel source devices may require different subwoofer gain depending on the  
bass management.  
Four values can be set for this: 0.0 dB, +5. 0 dB, +10.0 dB and +15.0 dB.  
In case one the following analogue audio input sockets is connected to a recording device,  
this socket needs to be selected when making a recording:  
AUDIO:TV IN, GAME IN, DVD IN (25), M-CH IN, CD IN, CD-R IN, AUX IN (24).This will  
avoid the recording device from putting it’s audio input signal directly into the output socket it  
is connected to (audio feedback loop) which could harm your audio equipment.

12. Glossary  
AM  
Amplitude Modulation. A method of radio transmission, by which the information part of the  
signal causes the amplitude to vary without affecting the frequency.  
Amplifier  
Analogue  
An electronic device that takes in an original signal, gives it more power and provides it as an  
output.  
A continuously varying action, or movement that takes time to change from one position to  
another. Standard audio and video signals are analogue. An analogue signal has an infinite number  
of levels between its highest and lowest value. (Not like digital, where changes are by steps.)  
A/V input  
Balance  
Allows input of Audio/Video signals.  
Adjusts the relative volume levels of left and right channels for optimal stereo effect.  
Compensates for channel imbalance and non-symmetrical loudspeaker positioning  
Bandwidth  
A frequency range, or 'band' of frequencies between the limits defined by the 'half power  
points', where the signal loss is -3dB. In audio and video, it is this band of frequencies that can  
pass through a device without significant loss or distortion.The wider the bandwidth, the better  
the quality that results, such as a sharper picture, better sound, etc.The higher the bandwidth  
number the better the performance (300 MHz is better than 250 MHz.).When a signal passes  
through a path with more than one device (including cables) the limiting factor (bottleneck) in  
that path is the device with the narrowest bandwidth.  
Bass  
The lower range of audio frequencies, up to approximately 500 Hz.  
Black level  
More commonly referred to as 'brightness', the black level is the level of light produced on a  
video screen.  
Copy protection  
CVBS  
Copy protection is a technical protection measure designed to prevent duplication of  
copyrighted works.  
CVBS stands for 'Composite video, blanking, and sync'. A standard video signal as output by  
VCRs and satellite receivers. CVBS combines the colour, luminance and synchronization  
information in one signal.The audio signal is transferred separately.  
DAB  
Digital Audio Broadcast. DAB is a terrestrial digital broadcasting standard which is recognized  
by the IUT (International Union forTelecommunications).The use of proper DAB frequencies  
(Band III and L-Band) allows a good quality transmission. DAB programs are broadcast inside a  
multiplex which is composed of six to ten radio stations on a single frequency. DAB can carry  
not only audio but also PAD (Program Associated Data) or NPAD (Non Program Associated  
Data) such as text, pictures, data and even videos: it is then called DMB (Digital Multimedia  
Broadcasting).  
dB  
Decibel.The minimum change in sound intensity that a human ear can distinguish. A doubling of  
volume is a 10 dB increase.To double volume in a stereo system, a 10-fold increase in power  
output (WATTS) is required.  
DCDi™  
Digital  
DCDi™ by Faroudja. stands for Directional Correlation Deinterlacing and is a package of  
picture innovations that digitally adjusts and optimizes picture quality to optimal contrast, colour  
and sharpness level.  
A system of data or image values in the form of discrete, non-continuous codes, such as binary.  
When data is in a digital format, it can be processed, stored (recorded) and reproduced easily  
while maintaining its original integrity.  
DLS  
Dynamic Label Service. Radio text information, provided by DAB radio stations.  
Dolby® Surround Sound  
Dolby Stereo is the name given to the four-channel surround sound developed by Dolby  
Laboratories and introduced into movie theaters in the 70s. It employed a matrix encoding  
scheme called Dolby Surround which recorded four channels of information on two channels.  
The two channels are decoded into L, R, Center and Surround upon playback.The centre  
channel is recorded identically on the left and right channels. Also see '9. Surround modes'.  
DTS Digital Surround  
DTS: abbreviation for Digital Theater System. Like Dolby Digital, DTS is another 5.1-channel  
surround sound format that is available in movie theaters, and as an optional soundtrack on  
some DVD-Video movies for home theatre viewing. DTS is not a standard soundtrack format  
for DVD-Video, and is not used by HDTV or digital satellite broadcasting.  
Also see '9. Surround modes'.

DVD  
Digital Versatile Disc. An optical disc about the size of a CD-ROM, but capable of storing an  
entire movie.The technology uses MPEG-2 compression.Typical capacity for these discs is 4.5  
GB, or about 133 minutes of digital video. Originally called 'DigitalVideo Disk'.  
DVI  
FM  
DVI (Digital Video Interface) is a new form of video interface technology made to maximize  
the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and high-end video graphics cards.  
DVI is also a digital transfer method for HDTV, EDTV, Plasma Display, and other ultra-high-end  
video displays forTV, movies, and DVDs.  
Frequency Modulation. A method of combining an information signal with a carrier signal so  
that it may be transmitted. FM radio is frequency modulated. Audio is encoded on the carrier  
by varying the frequency in response to the audio.  
Frequency  
The number of complete cycles per second of a musical tone or electronic signal, expressed in  
Hertz (Hz).  
Frequency response  
The frequency range in which an electronic component can accurately reproduce its input.  
Humans can hear from 20 Hz to 20,000Hz (20kHz). An ideal component would have a  
Frequency Response, totally flat or without any deviation, from 20Hz to 20 kHz. Frequency  
Response specifications are measured in dB based on how closely a component’s response  
resembles that of the ideal.  
Gain  
A general term for an increase in signal power or voltage produced by an amplifier.  
HDCP  
HDMI  
Your DFR9000 supports High bandwith Digital Content Protection (HDCP), owned by Intel.  
High Definition Multimedia Interface. A specification developed by the HDMI Working Group  
that combines multi-channel audio and high definition video and that controls signals into a  
single digital interface for use with DVD players, digital television, and other audiovisual devices.  
HDTV  
High DefinitionTelevision. HDTV refers to a complete product/system with the following  
minimum performance attributes: a receiver that receives ATSC terrestrial digital transmissions  
and decodes all ATSC Table 3 video formats; a display scanning format with active vertical  
scanning lines of 720 progressive (720p), 1080 interlaced (1080i), or higher; aspect ratio  
capabilities for displaying a 16:9 image; receives and reproduces, and/or outputs Dolby Digital  
audio.  
Hertz (Hz)  
Image  
The basic unit of frequency. One hertz equals one cycle per second.  
A reproduction or imitation of a person or thing displayed by any type of visual media.  
Interlacing  
A video frame is made up of two fields. Interlacing is the process of scanning the picture onto  
a video screen whereby the lines of one scanned field fall evenly between the lines of the  
preceding field.  
LED  
Light emitting diode. A low-power, long life, light source, usually red, green or yellow in color.  
Some LEDs can produce two different colors.  
Level  
LFE  
The relative intensity of an audio or video source.  
Low Frequency Effects channel. A special channel of 5 to 120Hz of information intended for  
special effects such as explosions in movies.The LFE channel has an additional 10 dB headroom  
in order to accomodate the required level.  
Line out  
Audio output, typically in level range of 1-2Volts.This may be 10,000 -50,000 ohms, at -10dB  
or -20dB.  
L/R Audio

of South America having 525 lines/60 Hz (60 Hz refresh), two fields per frame and 30 frames  
per second.Technically, NTSC is a color modulation scheme.To fully specify the color video  
signal it should be referred to as (M) NTSC. NTSC is also commonly (though incorrectly) used  
to refer to any 525/59.94 video system. See (M)NTSC.  
Ohm  
PCM  
The unit of electrical resistance, transmitting a current of 1 amp when subjected to a potential  
difference of 1 volt.  
Pulse Code Modulation is a digital scheme for transmitting analogue data. PCM makes it  
possible to digitize all forms of analogue data, including full-motion video, voices and music.  
Phase  
The relative timing of one signal to another, usually expressed in degrees of shift.  
A range of frequencies used for electromagnetic transmission (e.g. radio andTV).  
Radio frequency (RF)  
RDS  
Radio Data System is a service that allows FM stations to send additional information. If you  
are receiving an RDS station, RDS and the station name are displayed.  
RGB  
Red, green and blue.The basic components of the colour television system.They are also the  
primary colours of light in the 'additive colour process'.  
RGBS  
The red, blue, and green chroma information in a video signal, with a separate channel for the  
sync signal.  
Satellite receiver  
A receiver designed for satellite reception system, which receives modulated signals from an  
LNA (Low Noise Amplifier. ) or LNB (Low Noise Block Downconverter.) and converts them  
into their original form suitable for direct presentation to the user.  
Saturation  
The intensity of the color, or the extent to which a given color in any image is free from white.  
The less white in a color, the truer the color, or the greater its saturation.  
Surround Sound  
A system of audio reproduction that uses four or more speakers to simulate the full three-  
dimensional effect of a live musical performance or cinematic environment. (See also 'Dolby  
Pro-Logic® Surround Sound').  
S-video  
Sync  
A composite video signal separated into the luma ('Y' is for luma, or black and white  
information; brightness) and the chroma ('C' is an abbreviation for chroma, or color  
information).  
Synchronization. In video, sync is a means of controlling when things happen with respect to  
other things.This is accomplished with timing pulses to insure that each step in a process  
occurs at exactly the right time. For example, horizontal sync determines exactly when to begin  
each horizontal line (sweep) of the electron beam.Vertical sync determines when to bring the  
electron beam to the top left of the screen to start a new field.There are many other types of  
sync in a video system. .Also called 'sync signal' or 'sync pulse'.  
Test Tone  
Dolby Pro-Logic® Surround Sound receivers offer this feature to allow individual adjustment of  
allchannels according to your listening (viewing) location and individual preference.To set the  
balance, a test tone is sent to each channel in a repeating cycle.  
Toggle  
Tuner  
UCD  
To switch between alternate states. For example: between on and off.  
Radio receiver.  
User Centered Design. A method for designing ease-of-use into the total user experience with  
products.  
VCR  
Watt  
Generally defined as video cassette recorder.  
A unit of electrical power used to indicate the rate of energy produced or consumed by an  
electrical device. One watt is one joule of energy per second.
