FOR U.S.A AND CANADA .......................................120 V  
FOR OTHER COUNTRIES........................... 115 V/230 V  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
Units shipped to countries other than the above  
countries are equipped with an AC voltage selector  
switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following  
paragraph for the proper setting of this switch.  
Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are designed  
for operation on 120 Volts AC only.  
Observe all safety precautions for use of a polarized  
AC plug. However, some products may be supplied  
with a non polarized plug.  
AC VOLTAGE SELECTION  
This unit operates on 115/230 V AC. The AC voltage  
selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage  
that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped.  
Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet,  
make sure that the setting position of this switch  
matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to  
your voltage in accordance with the following  
direction.  
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide  
blade of plug to wide slot, insert fully.  
FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA ..........230V/240V  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
AC voltage selector switch  
Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation  
on 240 V AC only.  
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied  
must be inserted only into a standard three-pin  
power point which is effectively earthed through the  
normal household wiring. Extension cords used with  
the equipment must be three-core and be correctly  
wired to provide connection to earth.  
AC 230 V  
AC 115 V  
Improper extension cords are a major cause of  
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates  
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is  
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.  
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective  
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified  
electrician.  
Move switch lever to match your line voltage with a  
small screwdriver or other pointed tool.

System Connections  
Please be certain that the receiver is unplugged from the AC outlet before making any connections.  
Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R(right) jacks when making  
connections.  
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.  
A 75outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.  
Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.  
Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a  
direction for the best reception.  
If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.  
Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, poor connections can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.  
If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about two weeks, the memorized contents will be lost.  
Should this happen, memorize them again.

an LD player or satellite system, etc.  
This unit incorporates COMPONENT as well as S and normal(composite) VIDEO jacks.  
For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows: "COMPONENT" > "S"> normal(composite) "VIDEO".  
When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect "Y" to "Y", "CB" to "CB" (or "B-Y", "PB") and "CR" to "CR"(or "R-  
Y", "PR").  
Signals input into the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks will be output in only the MONITOR COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.  
A signal input into the normal(composite) VIDEO IN jack will be output in the normal(composite) VIDEO OUT jacks and a signal  
input into the S-VIDEO IN jack will be output in the S-VIDEO OUT jacks.  
Notes :  
Neither on-screen display function nor video recording are available when using the COMPONENT VIDEO connections.

SURROUND SOUND  
This unit incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound quality and sound  
atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.  
Surround modes  
DTS Neo : 6 Music  
DTS Digital Surround  
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left and front right  
signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of  
sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals from the center,  
surround left, surround right and surround back channels adds a natural  
sense of expansion to the sound field.  
DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal  
format which can handle higher data rates than Dolby Digital. Although both  
Dolby Digital and DTS are 5.1 channel formats, discs bearing the “  
are generally thought to provide better sound quality due to the  
lower audio compression required.  
It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting in magnificent  
sound.  
“DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround” and “Neo : 6” are trademarks of  
Digital Theater Systems,Inc.  
(
)
DTS - ES Extended Surround™  
This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly improves  
the 360- degree surround impression and space expression thanks to  
further expanded surround signals, offering high compatibility with the  
conventional DTS format.  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed by  
Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the “  
” includes the  
DOLBY  
D I G I T A L  
recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can reproduce  
much better sound quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range  
characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.  
In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the  
surround back (sometimes also referred to as “surround center”) channel  
for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended  
Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methods as follows:  
Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel surround format  
which consists of four channels ( front left, center, front right and  
surround). Sources bearing the “  
theater - like surround sound.  
The surround channel is monaural, but is played through both surround speakers.  
DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1  
Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround back channel)  
are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic  
image are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding  
the listener from 360 degrees.  
” provide the  
DOLBY SURROUND  
Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded  
with this system are played using a DTS -ES decoder, when played with a  
conventional DTS decoder, the surround back channel signals are  
automatically downmixed to the surround left and surround right channels  
so that none of the signal components are lost.  
Dolby Pro Logic II surround  
This mode applies conventional 2- channel signals such as digital PCM or  
analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals, etc. to surround  
processing to offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic  
circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes two modes as follows:  
DTS - ES™ Matrix 6.1  
With this format, the additional surround back channel signals undergo  
matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and surround right  
channels beforehand. During playback, they are decoded to the surround  
left, surround right and surround back channels. Because the bit stream  
format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the effect of the  
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel  
signal sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 -  
channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder.  
When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are decoded with a DTS -  
ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the  
optimum surround mode is selected.  
Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE  
When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further enhance the  
cinematic quality by adding processing that emphasizes the sounds of the  
action special effects.  
Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC  
When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the  
sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects.  
Dolby Virtual  
This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion of  
“phantom” speakers, this mode allows you to experience surround sound  
effects from Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel (recorded in digital  
PCM or analog stereo) sources, through just a single pair of front speakers.  
However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as DTS  
sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix mode must be selected manually  
to play these sources.  
In DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS -ES Matrix 6.1 sources, the surround back  
channel is monaural, but can be played through a single(in 6.1 mode) or  
two surround back speakers(in 7.1 mode) depending on the surround  
back speaker setting.(For details, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER  
SETUP” on page 34.)

This mode extracts the surround back (sometimes also referred to as “surround  
center”) signals from the surround left and surround right signals and  
reproduces it as well as the original multichannel signals during playback of  
multi-channel program sources recorded in DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.  
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with  
emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with  
2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.

The following modes apply conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to high performance  
Digital Signal Processor to recreate sound fields artificially. Select one of the twelve provided surround modes according to  
the program source you want to play.  
Theater  
Arena 1/2  
This mode provides the effect of being in a theater -in-the  
round when watching a play.  
This mode provides the feeling of a live concert in a medium  
- sized (Arena 1) or large (Arena 2) arena.  
Movie  
Club 1/2  
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater  
when watching a movie.  
This mode creates the sound field of a jazz club with a low  
ceiling and hard walls (Club 1) or a live house with a  
relatively spacious floor (Club 2).  
Hall 1/2  
This mode provides the ambience of a chamber hall for  
chamber music or an instrumental solo (Hall 1) or a concert  
hall for orchestral music or an opera (Hall 2).  
Game  
Use this mode to enjoy video game sources.  
Matrix  
This mode reproduces a delayed signals from the surround  
channels to emphasize the sense of expansion for music  
sources.  
Stadium  
This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the  
true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.  
Church  
This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque,  
string orchestral or choral group music.  
When using the 7.1 CH DIRECT INPUTs to play back the sound from an additional multichannel decoder for surround sound,  
yon can enjoy the corresponding surround sound ,too.( For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component to be  
connected.)  
For your reference, the sound from each channel can be reproduced according to the surround modes as follows:

Speaker placement  
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and  
the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and  
recommendations are as follows :  
1
4
3
Front left and right speakers and center speaker  
Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or  
monitor screen as possible.  
Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers  
and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.  
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the  
listener’s ears when at the main listening position.  
6
7
11  
10  
Surround left and right speakers  
Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above  
the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or  
slightly behind.  
8
9
Surround back left and right speakers.  
Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the front at a  
narrower distance than the front speakers.  
When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center  
facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the  
surround speakers.  
We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly  
downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back  
channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center,  
resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the  
front to the back less sharp.

7. Surround right speaker

Subwoofer  
The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.  
Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.  
60 to 90 cm  
Notes :  
When using a conventional TV , to avoid interference with the TV  
picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center  
speakers.  
To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer  
should be full range speakers.

ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND  
Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.  
Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.  
Note : Before surround playback, first perform the SPEAKER SETUP procedure, etc. on the OSD menu for optimum  
performance.(For detail, refer to SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUPon page 34.)  
Depending on the input digital signal format, select the desired decoding mode.  
Each time this button is pressed, the decoding mode changes as

OSD Menu Settings  
The OSD menu allows you to perform the setup procedures easily. In most situations, you will only need to set this  
once during the installation and layout of your home theater, and it rarely needs to be changed later. The OSD  
menu consists of 5 main menus: speaker setup, function select, surround setup, CH level trim and room 2 feed  
setup. Some of these menus are divided up into various sub-menus.  
The OSD menu settings are performed easily with the CURSOR control(, , , ), ON-SCREEN DISPLAY,  
RETURN and ENTER buttons.  
The 3, 7, 8and 9of the NUMERIC buttons do also work as the CURSOR control(, , , )buttons do. In  
this case, the 3button stands for the CURSOR UP() button, the 7for the CURSOR LEFT(), the 8for the  
CURSOR DOWN() and the 9for the CURSOR RIGHT().

Notes :  
When selecting the Fixed mode, first adjust the volume level as desired in the Variable mode and select the  
Fixed mode. Then the volume level will be fixed to the adjusted level.  
In case that an integrated amplifier, etc. is connected to the ROOM 2(audio) OUTs and the volume mode is set to  
Variable, if the ROOM 2 volume level is adjusted to high level on both this receiver and the connected amplifier,  
the ROOM 2 speaker and the connected amplifier may be damaged.  
Therefore, be sure to set the volume mode to Fixed for safe operation when using amplifier or receiver with its  
own volume control for ROOM 2.
