Connecting to Audio-Visual Components  
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/DTS 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.  
Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is  
important that the same type of cable that is connected from the Home  
Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the  
Home Theater.

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  
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.  
Note: This receiver has one digital optical jack only. Be sure that such  
connection does not prevent optical cable connection of other components  
(e.g. DVD & SAT)

Connecting the Subwoofer  
Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (pur-  
ple/ black) provided.  
Speakers  
There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front,  
1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good  
surround effects, all six speakers need to be  
connected to the receiver.  
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  
21.  
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. Adding a Subwoofer will  
increase bass response.  
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.

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.

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. Front and center speakers provid-  
ed with your unit are magnetically shielded to pro-  
tect your TV set.  
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.

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

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.

ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmosphereics  
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.

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.

which it is sold, that is, entertainment, violating no copy-  
right law. Any attempts to use this product for which it is  
not intended is unlawful and therefore not condoned by

Safety precautions  
• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any  
repairs or internal adjustments should be made only by a  
trained technician.  
• Never operate this product with the cabinet removed.  
• Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any liquid  
enters the player cabinet, take the player to a trained tech-  
nician for inspection.  
• This player uses a laser to read the data on the disc. The  
laser mechanism corresponds to the cartridge and stylus of  
a record player. Although this product incorporates a laser  
pick-up lens, it is completely safe when operated according  
to directions.  
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use  
damaged, warped, or cracked discs.  
• Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located inside the  
disc compartment. Also, to keep dust from collecting on  
the pick-up lens do not leave the compartment door open  
for an extended period of time. If the lens becomes dirty,  
clean it with a soft brush, or use an air blower brush  
designed for camera lenses.
