DPL680 EN 4/8/04 4:00 PM Page 8

Getting Started

Connecting to Audio-Visual Components

If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. What you need is just one more digital optical cable (not supplied). Plug it in the digital input jack of the receiver and select

OPTICAL 1 or 2 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 / VCR output.

CD Player

S-VIDEO

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.

PCM (CD) format digital signals. Read section on "Input Signal Setting" under "Advanced Sound

Control" (refer to pg 20) carefully to adjust the matching input settings.

Tape Deck DVD

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 2 optical and 1 coaxial digital input for the connection of your components. Connect your components (e.g.

DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and refer to the "Input Signal Setting" section on page 20 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 Theatre to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theatre.

DPL680 EN 4/8/04 4:00 PM Page 9

Digital Connections

Read instructions carefully when connecting components to the receiver.

Digital Input Jacks can accept Dolby Digital (AC-3) or

PCM signals when compatible components are connected.

Getting Started

Connecting the Antennas

The AM and FM antennas connect to the AM and FM terminals on the system’s back panel.

DPL680 EN 4/8/04 4:00 PM Page 10

Getting Started

Connecting the Speakers Speaker wires

One for each speaker, is needed for connection. Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

Antenna and Speaker Wire Connection

Push terminal tab down to insert wire.

Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the Antenna and speaker wires at all connection points.

To ease speaker connections, the speaker wires and the terminals are color-coded.

• White/Grey Striped (Front Left Speaker),

• Red/Grey Striped (Front Right Speaker),

• Green/Grey Striped (Center Speaker)

• Blue/Grey Striped (Rear Left Speaker).

• Grey/Grey Striped (Rear Right Speaker).

• Purple/Grey Striped (Subwoofer)

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.

Connect the L, R speakers at the back of the speakers to the corresponding color on the receiver. Do the same for center (with green/black terminal), rear speaker and the subwoofer (with purple/black terminal).

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.

NOTE

Match the grey striped speaker wire to the black terminal on the speaker and the receiver.

If you want to enjoy the full sound range, use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.

Speaker Polarity

When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities of speaker wires and terminals are matched (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver). If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass

(“out of phase” effect).

Connecting the Subwoofer

Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (purple/ grey striped) provided.

DPL680 EN 4/8/04 4:00 PM Page 11

Getting Started

Positioning your speaker

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 possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.

Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead of them.

EN

4 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. Since this receiver uses small speakers, it is recommended to connect the subwoofer to hear the lower bass effects.

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 provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.

It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.

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.

Front Speaker Placement

Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater setup exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement that follow will help you get good results.

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

Height

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

DPL680 EN 4/8/04 4:00 PM Page 12

Getting Started

Preferred surround placement

Location

If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.

Advanced Setting

Alternative Surround Placement

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 60cm-90cm (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 surround sound field.

Level adjustment & surround channel level expectation

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 channel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the surround level; program producers 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.

NOTE

The system is equipped with Dolby Digital, and manufactured under License from Dolby

Laboratories.

Advanced Sound Control

Sound Enhancement Systems

This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement systems.

Dolby Digital

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 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, Center 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.

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.

EN

DTS is available in DVD, SAT/CAB, TV and CD mode.

(When digital cable is connected)

Front Left Speaker

Center Speaker Front Right Speaker

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 Emulation.

You can use this mode with any stereo program source

(such as VCR/SAT) to enjoy multi-channel sound experience.

NOTE

Night mode is available only with Dolby Digital playback.

Stereo

The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have connected the front speakers only.

DSP (Digital Sound Processor)

These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such as (DISCO / STADIUM / THEATER / JAZZ

CLUB / ARENA). DSP automatically 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 feels of size and types of listening environment.

Dynamic Bass Amplified System (dBas)

With “Dynamic Bass Amplified System” (dBas), the discrete amplifier is located in the receiver so the subwoofer keeps the power needed to reproduce powerful effects.

4 settings are available: SOFT, BALANCED, STRONG and

POWERFUL.

When a digital source starts playing, the receiver automatically switches to the proper surround mode and provides setting information via the speaker icons located on the right-hand side of the display.

It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby

Digital sources are encoded with the full complement of five channels plus LFE*. Speaker icons show how many and which speaker you have enabled (See “Fine Setting of the Speakers”) and the letters inside the speaker icons show which channel is present in the source information. For example, the diagram shown means you have all five speakers and subwoofer enabled and the digital sources you played have five channels plus

LFE complemented.

* LFE stands for Low Frequency Effect. The indication

“LFE” appears if the digital source contains LFE information. In this case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer, offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects. If the letter is flashing, the signal is either too weak or just gone.

5. When set up is done, wait for 5 seconds to automatically save your settings or press any key to save your selection and set up mode.
