Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
“COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the “COMP. MAX” setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and lets you view
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a
very natural compression.

Tip
Notes
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the
sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
• This parameter is useful when you use a large LCD
or plasma monitor or a projector.
• This parameter is valid only when you use a sound
field selected with the 2CH or A.F.D. buttons.
DTS 2048 signals are input.
x FRT SPK (Front speakers)

If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. When the sub woofer is set to
“NO”, the front speakers are automatically
set to “LARGE”.
x NAME IN (Naming inputs)
Lets you set the name of inputs. For details, see
“Naming inputs” (page 54).
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
front channel bass frequencies from the sub
woofer. When the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, the center, and surround
speakers are also automatically set to
“SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).

Tip
x CNT SPK (Center speaker)
• LARGE
The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible.
Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can
set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass
frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if
bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to
“SMALL”.
If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. However, if the front speakers
are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the
center speaker to “LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
center channel bass frequencies from the
front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub
woofer.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set
all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough
bass, you can use the tone to boost the bass levels.
For details, see page 33.
• NO
If you have not connected a center speaker,
select “NO”. The sound of the center
channel will be output from the front
speakers.
x FRT DIST. (Front speaker
distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the front speakers (A). If both
front speakers are not placed an equal distance
from your listening position, set the distance as
the average distance between the front
speakers.
x SUR SPK (Surround speakers)

modes (page 44). This setup item is not

Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the surround left speaker. Surround
left speaker distance should be set from a
distance equal to the front speaker distance
(A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your
listening position (C).
x SR DIST. (Surround right
speaker distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the surround right speaker.
Surround right speaker distance should be set
from a distance equal to the front speaker
distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to
your listening position (D).
Tip
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set
the center speaker further than the front speakers.
Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than
1.5 meter closer from the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set
further away from the listening position than the
front speakers. And they can be no more than
4.5 meter closer. This is because incorrect speaker
placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of
surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers will cause a
delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In
other words, the speaker will sound like it is further
away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance
1-2 meter closer than the actual speaker position will
create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside”
the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory
surround effect because the surround speakers are
too close, setting the surround speaker distance
closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a
larger sound stage.
• SIDE/LO
Select if the location of your surround
speakers corresponds to sections A and C.
• SIDE/HI

speakers corresponds to sections B and C.
• BEHD/HI
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
Select if the location of your surround

Tip
Surround speaker position is designed specifically
for implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.
For other sound fields, speaker position is not so
critical.
Those sound fields were designed under the premise
that the surround speakers would be located behind
the listening position, but presentation remains fairly
consistent even with the surround speakers
positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the
speakers are pointing toward the listener from the
immediate left and right of the listening position, the
surround effects become unclear unless set to
“SIDE/LO” or “SIDE/HI”.
Calibrating the
appropriate settings
(A. CAL menu)
For details, see “6: Calibrating the appropriate
settings automatically (AUTO
CALIBRATION)” (page 24).
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, such as wall reflections, and you may
obtain better results using “BEHD/HI” if your
speakers are located high above the listening
position, even if they are located to the immediate
left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting
contrary to the above explanation, we recommend
that you playback multi channel surround encoded
software and select the setting that provides a good
sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in
forming a cohesive space between the surround
sound from the surround speakers and the sound of
the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds
best, select “BEHD/LO” or “BEHD/HI” and then
use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level
adjustments to obtain proper balance.
x CRS. FREQ (Speaker crossover
frequency)
Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of
the speakers that have been set to “SMALL”
on the SYSTEM menu. This setup item is only
available when at least one speaker is set to
“SMALL” and the corresponding speaker
indicator flashes on the display.
x DIMMER (Brightness of the

decoded and output in 4ch surround sound.
This is the most common audio processing
method for DVD-video.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
x DTS Digital Surround
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the
operating voltage is identical with your local
power supply.
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology
for theaters developed by Digital Theater
Systems, Inc. It compresses audio less than
Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality
sound reproduction.
The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the back of the receiver.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
x Sampling frequency
To convert analog audio to digital, analog data
should be quantified. This process is called
sampling, and the number of times per second
the analog data is quantified is called the
sampling frequency. A standard music CD
stores data quantified at 44,100 times per
second, which is expressed as a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a
higher sampling frequency means better sound
quality.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at
a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction. If you
continuously use this receiver at a large
volume, the cabinet temperature of the top,
side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid
burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the receiver.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet
that might block the ventilation holes and
cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If
the receiver is being used in combination
with a television, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise
may result, and picture quality may suffer.
This is especially likely when using an
indoor antenna. Therefore, we recommend
using an outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the receiver on
surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem.
There is no sound, no matter which
component is selected, or only a very
low-level sound is heard.
• Check that the speakers and components
are connected securely.
• Check that both the receiver and all
components are turned on.
• Check that MASTER VOLUME is not set
to “VOL MIN”.
• Check that headphone is not connected.
• Press MUTING to cancel the muting
function.
• Check that you have selected the correct
component with the input buttons.
• The protective device on the receiver has
been activated. Turn off the receiver,
eliminate the short-circuit problem, and
turn on the power again.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the receiver.
There is no sound from a specific
component.
• Check that the component is connected
correctly to the audio input jacks for that
component.
• Check that the cord(s) used for the
connection is (are) fully inserted into the
jacks on both the receiver and the
component.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
• Check that you have selected the correct
component with the input buttons.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
