Connecting to Audio-Visual Components
NOTE
Before making any connections, check that
the unit is switched off. With volume turned
down to a low level, switch power on only
after all connections have been made.
S-VIDEO
If your CD player is equipped with digital optical
jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. What you
need is just one more optical digital connecting
cable (not supplied). Plug it in the digital input
jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the
receiver setting (see details on pg 20 chapter
"Input Signal Setting"). You can enjoy better
sound quality brought to you by the optical
cable. When optical cable is used, analog
cables are still needed for recording to tape
output.
TV
If your video component has a S-Video jack
included, you can make use of it to enjoy enhanced
video quality by connecting it to the relevant S-
Video jack at the rear side of the receiver. One S-
video cable is needed for each component. When
S-Video cable is used, composite video (yellow
RCA connector) cable must also be connected for
VCR recording.
Note: Before plugging in the optical cable or
S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of the
plug and jack, otherwise, you will not be able to plug
in completely.

The composite, S-Video output is for
connecting to TV or Video Monitor to
view video sources connected to
Composite video input (DVD, VCR,
V-AUX, SAT), S-Video input (DVD,
SAT) respectively. The current mode
(DVD, CD etc...) determines which
input video source should be
directed to the Monitor outputs.

Remark: If you have a video camera,
video game machine, or an extra
VCR, connect it to VAUX input at the
front of the receiver
DIGITAL CONNECTION
If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make use of an optical
digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and
enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player
or CD player. When optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording
through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial digital input for the
connection of your components. Please connect your components (e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the
appropriate digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to select the corresponding digital input source.
Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection must also be
established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video provides the best connection for the video portion
of the signal. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type
of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the
SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theater.

Connecting the Speakers
AM Loop Antenna
To connect the speakers, rotate the speaker jack
counter-clockwise. Insert the speaker wire into the
terminal. Secure the wire in place by turning the
speaker jack clockwise.
To connect the speaker cords
HINT
• For FM reception, extend antenna to its full
length and arrange the Antenna as a T Shape
• For AM reception, rotate the antenna hori-
zontally to get better reception.
Speaker Polarity
Connecting the Speakers
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polari-
ties (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of
speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the wires
are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack
bass (“out of phase” effect).
Speakers
There are 5 speakers jacks on the back of the unit (2
front, 1 center, 2 rear). In order to enjoy good sur-
round effects, all five speakers need to be connected
to the receiver.
Connecting the Subwoofer
Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.
Connect the subwoofer wire to the SUB OUT jack on
the back of the unit.
This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a
large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more
information please refer to section “Fine Setting of
the Speakers” in “Advanced Sound Control” on page
24.
At least two front speakers (left and right) are
required. For better sound quality, Center speaker,
rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be
connected. Adding center and rear speakers will
enhance surround effects.
If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with
small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with
the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.

Getting Started
Alignment
Positioning your speaker
Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly
behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead
of them.
EN
1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)
They carry primarily music and sound effects
2 Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of
the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be
set between the left and right speakers.
3 Surround (Rear Speakers)
Their overall sound balance should be as close as pos-
sible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital
to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships,
etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with
the action on the screen. It is therefore recommend-
ed to connect subwoofers when small speakers are
used.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Advanced Setting
Angle
Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45-
degree angle with your favorite viewing position will
duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set
must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent
picture distortion.
It is not recommended to place the rear speakers
near the TV set.

Height
The three speakers should be as close as possible to
the same height. This often requires placing the cen-
ter speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV
set.

Preferred surround placement
Advanced Setting
Alternative Surround Placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of
the listening area, not behind it.
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or
even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with
placement until surround sounds seem to envelop
you, rather than coming from behind you.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Height
If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet (60 - 90 cm)
above viewers. This helps to minimize localization
effects.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
No adjacent walls
Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to
approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or
to the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed
upwards. In the latter case, they can go right on the
floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as
on end tables (B).
(60 - 90 cm)

Aiming
Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down
at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious sur-
round sound field.

Test Tone / Channel balance
Using Headphones
To listen privately through your
audio system, use the PHONES jack
on the receiver. However, make
sure you turn down the volume
before you put on the head-
phones. Increase the volume to the
desired level after headphones are
in place.
EN
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator
for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels"
from channel to channel, adjust the level controls
until each channel plays at the same loudness level.
Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE
DOWN MIX 2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This
feature automatically converts multi-channel speaker
outputs to 2 channel stereo for your listening pleas-
ure.
Hearing Comfort & Well-Being
• Do not play your headset at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended
play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Level adjustment & surround channel level
expectation
Factory Setting
The unit is preset to the following settings when you
first power the receiver up right out of the box:
Function = Tuner
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be
as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find
that on actual program material the surround chan-
nel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be
tempted to readjust the surround level; program pro-
ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmospheric
and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A
good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if
it did, it would soon become distracting.
Volume setting = 45
Bass & treble = 0 dB
Speaker settings: Center, rear, front = small
Subwoofer = on
EQ: FLAT
NOTE
All preset radio stations and surround sound setting
will be lost after factory setting is restored. You may
restore factory setting with the following procedures:
1. Enter Standby mode
Reset to Factory Settings:
NOTE
The system is equipped with Dolby Digital,
and manufactured under License from Dolby
Laboratories.
2. While holding down the SURR. MODE key, press
SOURCE UP.
3. All preset stations will reset to FM87.5MHz and all
receiver settings restore to default settings as
described above.

Advanced Sound Control
Dolby Digital
Sound Enhancement Systems
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital
surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital
format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and
more powerful presence than conventional Dolby
Surround.
This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound
enhancement systems.
EN
Dolby Pro Logic II
The Pro Logic II mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the
Left, Center, Right and Surround left and right channel
audio signals and uses all five speakers to play both stereo
and Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TV and VCR.
Dolby Pro Logic II includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby
Pro Logic II Music and Dolby Pro Logic.
This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so
that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound.
Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in which only four
channels ( Front Left, Front Right, Centre and Rear ) are
used, the new system provides stereo separation of the rear
speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left ). These 5 channels,
together with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds
(counted as 0.1 channel ), constitute as 5.1-Channel ( or 6
Channels ) Input for Dolby Digital that brings you the most
sophisticated sound enjoyment.
Use this mode to suit the type of program (such as VCR).

Digital Theater Systems (DTS)
DTS is a digital surround system which delivers six channels
of master-quality, 20-bit audio. It offers five full-range
channels plus a special low frequency effect (LFE) channel
for subwoofer, resulting commonly know 5.1 channels. It
can be applied with existing 5.1 speaker configurations.

Dolby ProLogic II
The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs
from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have
connected the front speakers only.
To provide a an exciting experience while listening to
music, DPL II provides several advanced setting to
adjust the DPLII Music mode. By modifying the set-
tings, you will be able to adjust the music output
effect according to different Home Theater set up,
recordings and to suit better your personal tastes. The
3 options are Panorama, Dimension and Center
Width.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real
environment such as (DSP OFF / STADIUM / CONCERT /
THEATRE / CHURCH / ARENA / CLUB). DSP automati-
cally converts analog audio signals to digital ones
which enables you to adjust the sound without
degrading the sound quality. Different modes will
give you different feel of size and type of listening
environment. Press DSP MODE on the main unit to
select among DSP options.(Not available in Dolby
Digital/DTS).
Dimension control:
Adjust the balance between the rear and front speak-
ers. Depending on the recordings, the sound may be
focused too much on the front or on the rear speak-
ers. Adjusting this parameter will allow a more bal-
ance soundfield.
Center width control:
Control the "weight" or sense of image width of the
sound coming from the center speaker. By adjusting
the variable setting, the sound can only come from
the center speaker or could be progressively blended
into the 2 front speakers.
Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Compression technology
(Night Mode), you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital
sound quality at night without interrupting your
roommates or neighbors. Night Mode will compress
the difference in volume between normal voices and
sound like explosions, while still enjoying a Dolby
Digital enable component (DVD, SAT). You can access
the setup menu by pressing SETUP. Then press the
Up or Down setup arrows until NIGHT is displayed.
Press OK to enter Night setup. Use the Up or Down
setup arrows to select among compression options
(NORMAL, SOFT and SOFTER). Press OK to save set-
ting.

Care and Maintenance
Disconnect the audio system from the power source before
performing any maintenance.
Headset safety
• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing
experts warn against extended high-volume play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or
discontinue use.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust cloth.
• You should use extreme caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to let
you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high
that you are unable to hear what is around you.
Important battery information
• Remove the batteries to avoid leakage if you do not use
your remote control for more than one month.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking batteries
may cause skin burns or other personal injuries.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to
provincial and local regulations.
