< As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave  
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.  
The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make sure there  
is at least 20 cm of space above and at least 5 cm of space on  
each side of the unit. Do NOT place anything on top of the  
unit.  
< The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as  
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding  
this matter, consult an electrician.  
< 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 vibrations and excessive dust, heat,  
cold or moisture.  
< Do not place the unit on the amplifier/receiver.  
< Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the  
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into  
the unit, contact your dealer or service company.  
< When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always  
pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

Connection (FM antenna)  
CAUTION:  
FM Outdoor Antenna  
< Turn off the power of all the equipment before making  
connections.  
< Read instructions of each component you intend to use with  
this unit.  
< Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and  
noise, do not bundle the connection cords with the power  
cord or speaker cables.  
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to  
use an 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna.  
Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in  
an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be  
necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.  
< Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor  
antenna.  
FM Indoor Antenna  
Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the “FM 75” socket,  
extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite FM station  
(see page 24). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a  
window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix  
the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any  
other suitable means.

Connection (AM antenna)  
AM Indoor Loop Antenna  
AM Outdoor Antenna  
The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this  
unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.  
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the  
slot in the antenna base.  
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient  
reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or  
in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an  
outdoor AM antenna.  
Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not  
available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one  
end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.  
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near  
a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to  
a reliable ground.  
Note:  
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect  
the AM loop antenna.  
How to connect:  
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna  
terminals.  
Make sure to connect:  
white wire q lower terminal  
black wire q upper terminal (GND)  
Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame,  
etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all  
other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or  
interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.

signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the  
speakers.  
Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with  
an impedance of 6 ohms or more.  
How to connect:  
1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The  
speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.  
The black speaker terminals are – (negative).  
Generally, the + side of the speaker cable is marked to make  
it distinguishable from the – side of the cable. Connect this  
marked side to the + terminal and the unmarked side to the  
black – terminal.  
2. Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal  
cap clockwise to securely connect it:  
Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off  
approximately 10 mm or less of the outer insulation.  
(Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if  
the bared wires should come in contact with each other.)  
Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together:  
Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal,  
only the bare, stripped wire.  
3. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.

All memories are erased, and the unit returns to the factory  
settings.  
The positioning of speakers differs according to the size and  
acoustics of the listening room. While actually listening to a  
program source, try various speaker positions to determine  
which layout provides the best surround effect.  
< Ideally, position all the speakers in a circle, with the same  
distance from your listening position.  
< Place the speakers connected to “L” to your left, and “R” to  
your right.  
Front speakers  
Use magnetically shielded speakers, if you are using them  
near your TV.  
Place the front speakers in front of the listening position, to  
the left and right of a TV.  
Front speakers are required for all surround modes.  
Center speaker  
Use a magnetically shielded speaker if you are using it near  
your TV. Place a center speaker between the front speakers,  
on or below the TV. This speaker stabilizes the sound image.  
Rear (Surround) Left and Right speakers  
Install these speakers above the level of the listener’s ears,  
directly to the left and right (or slightly behind) of your  
listening position.  
Subwoofer  
Reproduces powerful and deep bass sounds.  
Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier referred to as a  
“powered subwoofer”. Subwoofers are most effective when  
placed on or near the floor and in a corner of the room. Refer  
to the instructions that came with your subwoofer for  
placement suggestions.

DTS (DTS Digital Surround)  
Dolby Pro Logic  
During playback of a DVD disc recorded in DTS format, the  
surround mode is set to DTS automatically.  
Dolby Pro Logic is a matrix decoder that decodes the four  
channels of surround sound (front left, center, front right and  
surround) that have been encoded onto the stereo  
soundtracks of Dolby Surround encoded material such as VHS  
movies. The surround channel is monaural, but is played  
through two surround speakers.  
DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 5.1 channels with lower  
audio compression than Dolby Digital. It provides the clarity  
and dynamics of the original master soundtrack.

built church.  
THEATER  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
This mode provides a three dimensional surround effect  
similar to that of a movie theater.  
Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced matrix decoder that gives  
you 5.1-channel surround sound (front left, center, front  
right, surround left and surround right) from any stereo  
program material, as well as Dolby Surround encoded  
material.  
Compared with Pro Logic’s monaural, limited-bandwidth  
surround channel, Pro Logic II can provide two full-range  
surround channels.  
HALL  
This mode is suitable for orchestral music such as classical  
music or opera.  
< DOLBY PRO LOGIC II will not work on monaural source.  
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MOVIE:  
STADIUM  
This mode is optimized for movies or Dolby Surround  
encoded materials. This mode is also appropriate for use with  
video games.  
This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the  
true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.  
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MUSIC:  
The Music mode creates a rich and enveloping surround  
ambience from stereo sources such as music CDs.

Stereo Mode  
Dynamic Range Compression  
In many listening situations, you may find loud passages  
objectionable. Adjusting this setting allows you to compress the  
sounds into a range that you may find more suitable for a  
particular listening situation. Dolby Digital and DTS satisfy these  
needs through the dynamic range controlling.  
Select one of the followings to fit the individual listening  
situation of the audience.  
1. During playback of DVD, press the SURROUND  
PARAMETER button of the remote control unit.  
Press the STEREO button to select the stereo mode.  
“STEREO” is scrolled, and sound is output from front  
speakers (and the subwoofer if connected).  
To cancel the stereo mode, select any other surround mode  
by pressing the SURROUND button (  
or  
).  
< If you select the stereo mode while the digital signal of  
DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS are being input, the multi-channel  
sound is downmixed to 2-channel.  
< If the SPEAKER ON/OFF button is set to OFF while the digital  
signal of DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS are being input, the multi-  
channel sound is downmixed to 2-channel automatically. And  
when the SPEAKER ON/OFF button is set to ON, it will return  
to the previous surround mode.  
2. Select the desired compression range.  
Each time the SELECT button (g or t) is pressed, the  
dynamic range is changed between 0.0 (uncompressed) and  
1.0 (fully compressed).  
< The default setting is “0.0”.  
< This function is effective only when playing back a DVD disc  
recorded in Dolby Digital format on the DVD player  
connected via DIGITAL IN terminal. This control has no effect  
on other discs.  
< This function may not work with some discs.

Subwoofer Setting  
“SW+” mode is valid only when “FRONT” and “CENTER” are  
set to “L” and “SUB-W” to “Y” on the SPK SET menu. For  
details, refer to “Speaker Setup” on page 31.  
NORM (default):  
The low frequency signals of channels set to “L” are  
reproduced from those channels only.  
D.IN (DIGITAL IN):  
In this mode, the low frequency signals that are produced  
from the subwoofer channel are only the LFE signals (from  
the multi-channel sources that contain LFE (Low Frequency  
Effects) channel, also called the “0.1” channel) and the low  
frequency signals of the channels set to “S”.  
You can select from OPT (optical), COX 1 (coaxial 1 - default),  
COX 2 (coaxial 2) and ANL (analog).  
< You can hear the sound from the selected DIGITAL IN  
terminal, as far as VIDEO (1 or 2) or CD has been selected.  
SW+:  
The low frequency signals of channels set to “L” are  
produced simultaneously from those channels and the  
subwoofer channel.  
In this mode, the low frequency range expands more  
uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and  
shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of  
the actual volume of the low frequency range.  
AUTO (AUTO SURROUND):  
When you select “ON”, the optimum surround mode will be  
automatically selected depending on the signal format being  
input.  
When you select “OFF” (default), you can select from  
different surround modes available for the signal being input

same type of digital signal format is being input, the optimum  
surround mode may vary depending on whether the speaker  
type is set to “N (None or No)” or not.  
When the tone control is set to off, the “DIRECT” indicator  
lights on the display and you can listen to a program source  
without the tone effect.  
< When the AUTO SURROUND mode is selected, the surround  
modes other than the optimum surround mode cannot be

is being input, only the stereo mode will be selected.  
When the tone control is set to on, the “DIRECT” indicator  
turns off and you can adjust the tone for your taste.  
< In general, we recommend the bass and treble to be adjusted  
to 0 dB (flat level).  
< Extreme settings at high volume may damage your speakers.  
< When 96 kHz PCM signal is being input, only the stereo  
mode will be selected regardless of selecting either the auto  
surround mode or the manual surround mode.

Settings (Speaker Setup)  
After you have installed this receiver and connected all the  
Speaker distance (DISTANCE)  
components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the  
optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and  
speaker layout.  
You should enter the distance between the listening position  
and each speaker to set the delay time automatically for  
optimum surround playback.  
When enjoying multi-channel surround playback with Dolby  
Digital and DTS sources, etc., it is ideal that the center,  
surround and subwoofer speakers should be the same  
distance from the main listening position as the front  
speakers. By entering the distance between the listening  
position and each speaker, the delay times of center,  
surround and subwoofer speakers are automatically adjusted  
to create an ideal listening environment virtually as if the  
center, surround and subwoofer speakers were at their ideal  
locations respectively.  
When you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of  
your listening environment, you should adjust the speaker  
settings, too.

reproduce sounds below crossover frequency.  
< You cannot select the subwoofer and the speakers set to “N  
(None or No)”.  
S (Small): Select this when connecting speakers that cannot  
fully reproduce sounds below crossover frequency.  
When this is selected, sounds below crossover  
frequency are sent to the subwoofer or speakers  
which are set to “L (Large)” (when not using a  
subwoofer).  
When selecting the desired unit:  
< You can select either “M (Meter)” or “F (Feet)”. Once  
selected, the distances are automatically changed in the

meters in 0.3 meter intervals (or 1 to 30 feet in 1 feet  
intervals).  
N (None): Select this when no speakers are connected. When  
this is selected, sounds are sent to the speakers  
which are not set to “N (None)”.  
Y (Yes)/N (No):

size of the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for  
playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set on  
the “X-OVER” menu) signals.  
< You can adjust the crossover frequency within the range of  
40 to 200 Hz in 10 Hz steps.  
< Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers to be  
connected. If the frequency range of your speaker is 100 to  
20 kHz, the crossover frequency should be set to 100 Hz (or  
slightly higher).  
< If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings  
(setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to  
damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.
