BEFORE USE  
READ THIS BEFORE OPERATION  
BEFORE CONNECTION  
1. Choose the installation location of your unit carefully.  
Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source  
of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and  
excessive dust, cold or moisture.  
2. The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make  
sure there is enough space above and beside the  
amplifier/receiver (about 4 inches). Do not place a  
CD player or other equipment on top of the  
amplifier/receiver.  
3. Do not open the cabinet as this might result in  
damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a  
foreign object gets into the set, contact your dealer or  
authorized service center.  
Caution  
Turn off the power of all the equipment before making  
connections.  
Read instructions of each component you intend to  
connect to this unit.  
Be sure to insert each power plug securely. To  
prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the  
interconnection leads with power cord or speaker  
leads.  
Speaker Connections  
Caution:  
4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet,  
always pull directly on the plug, never on the cord.  
5. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical  
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean,  
dry cloth.  
To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level  
signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting  
the speakers.  
Check the impedance of your speakers.  
Connect speaker with an impedance of 8 ohms or  
more. The amplifier’s red speaker terminals are the +  
(positive) terminals and the black terminals are the –  
(negative) terminals.  
6. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.  
Back-up Memory Function  
The + side of the speaker cable is marked to make it  
distinguishable from the – side of the cable. Connect  
this marked side to the red + terminals and the  
unmarked side is the black terminal.  
Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping  
off approximately 10 mm or less (no more as this  
could cause a short-circuit) of the outer insulation.  
Twist the wires tightly together so that they are not  
straggly.  
This is the function that preserves the preset memory and  
most-recent memory function. In the event of a power  
failure, or if the power cord of this unit is disconnected  
from the electric outlet, the back-up memory will  
preserve the preset memory and most-recent memory  
functions for as long as approximately 1 week.  
If the power supply is interrupted for 7 days or longer, the  
memory settings will be erased.

monitor using just one video input on the TV (S-Video or  
RCA). Regardless of the video component being played  
DVD or VCR, the picture will always appear on the same  
video input of the monitor.  
If you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to  
connect different video components to the your Receiver,  
you must also use both S-Video and RCA composite  
cables to connect the TV monitor to the your Receiver.  
For example, if you connect a DVD player to the your  
Receiver using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA  
to RCA composite cable, you must also connect the TV to  
the your Receiver using both types of cables. This  
requires an S-Video cable from the S-Video monitor out  
jack on the your Receiver to an S-Video input on the TV  
(i.e. Video 1). In addition, you must use an RCA  
composite cable from the composite video monitor out  
jack on your Receiver to an RCA composite video input  
on the TV but not the same input used for the S-Video  
cable (i.e. Video 2). Using this type of dual cable video  
connection, you will need to switch the TV video input  
source from TV to Video 1 to Video 2 depending on the  
video source being played-TV, DVD or VCR  
Video connections:  
If the video component is equipped with S-VIDEO jacks,  
it is recommended to connect to your Receiver or directly  
to the television monitor using an S-VIDEO cable.  
S-VIDEO cables provided better picture clarity and  
resolution. If the video component is not equipped with  
an S-VIDEO jack, use a conventional RCA or RCA  
composite cable to connect to the your Receiver or  
directly to the television.  
The illustration here shows how to connect video  
components to the your Receiver.  
Note:  
When connecting more than one video component to the  
your Receiver (i.e. VCR and DVD player) it is easier to  
use either all S-VIDEO cables or all RCA to RCA  
composite cables. This allows both video signals (DVD  
and VCR) to be sent through the your receiver to the TV

PRO LOGIC II  
Opposed to Dolby Pro logic, which had four channels  
(front, left, center, and surround) recorded into two  
channels with matrix processing and then played back in  
four channels, Dolby Pro Logic II uses a feedback logic  
circuit to have 5.1-channel surround audio(Dolby  
Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two channels and  
then played back in its original 5.1-channel form.  
There are five standard modes: Movie, Music, Virtual,  
Pro Logic Emulation, and Matrix.

DELAY TIME & DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL  
DELAY TIME  
DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL  
The delay time can be individually set for the Dolby  
Digital/Dolby Pro Logic II modes using the DELAY  
(CENTER/REAR) buttons.  
When you adjust the delay time in the Dolby Digital  
mode, an additional 15 ms is automatically added to the  
surround channels in the Dolby Pro Logic mode. The  
current setting is shown on the display.  
This button controls the compression range of sound track.  
If the compression is large (DRC = 4/4), the sound effect  
is retarded to a certain range. As a result, sound effect is  
not as excited as normal range DRC = 0/4). It is useful  
when you want to movies at the late night.  
Press DYNAMIC on remote control repeatedly until  
the desired compression range reached.

Note:  
1. The dynamic Range Control state will resume to  
normal if you do not press it after 5 seconds.  
2. Dynamic range compression is not possible with DTS  
sources.  
In the surround modes, the sound from the speakers  
should be delayed slightly, relative to that from the front  
speakers.  
The optimum delay time will depend on acoustic  
properties, whether the walls and furnishings reflect or  
absorb sound, etc.  
It is recommended that you try different delay times to  
obtain the best effect. The delay is digitally synthesized.  
For the highest sound quality with minimum noise and  
distortion, the delay time can be set independently for  
each surround mode using the DELAY TIME buttons,  
with the current setting shown in the display.
