Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a
BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

REMOTE CONTROL
Remote control usage
Open the battery compartment of the remote control and insert
2 alkaline batteries, type AA
(R06, UM-3).
Remove batteries if they are flat or the remote control is not going to be used for a long time.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.
The buttons on the remote control work the same way as the corresponding ones on the receiver.
Important!
You have to press a source button for longer than 2 seconds to switch the sound source on the receiver. Pressing a source button for less than 2 seconds will only switch the remote control to use the commands for the selected product.
The remote control remains tuned to the selected source until another source button on the remote control is pressed. This enables you to operate additional sources (i. e. winding a tape) without changing the source on the receiver.

REMOTE CONTROL
Programming the universal remote control
You can identify the universal remote control by the inscription Multibrand/Universal.
The universal remote control must be programmed to use the codes for your appliances of different brands. This is done by keying in a 4-digit code or by scanning the codes until the correct one is found. We recommend to using the 4-digit code. This method is faster and more reliable. The code scanning method should only be used if you cannot find the code for one of your appliances. The code table can be found at the end of the booklet.
Important!
The buttons of the remote control must be used for programming, not the buttons of the receiver or other appliances.
Programming with the 4-digit code
1 Keep the source button for the appliance which should be controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.
2 Key in the 4-digit code for the appliance (codetable at the end of the booklet).
Notes: – If more than 4 digits are entered, the remote control will recognize only the ones keyed in first.
– If you do not key in a code within 30 seconds the remote control will switch off the programming function without changing the code.
– To program a new appliance, simply overwrite the old code by entering a new one.
Scanning the codetable
1 Switch on the appliance which should be controlled.
2 Keep the source button for the appliance which should be controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.
3 Press and release 2 again.
y
The remote control sends the codes for channel up or standby (depending on the selected source) for one brand after the other.
4 As soon as the appliance reacts – switches to the next channel or to standby – press 2 to confirm the code.
y
The identified code will be used.
• If the set does not react within 2 minutes, the code for this appliance is not stored in the remote control. The code of the remote control will remain unchanged.
Note: When taking out the batteries of the remote control for more than 1 minute the codes must be reprogrammed.
Once you have found and tested the codes for your various appliances, you may want to write them down here.

Positioning of the speakers
General hints for positioning
Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor as this will boost the bass tones too much. Placing the speakers behind curtains, furniture, etc. will reduce the treble response. The listener should always be able to ”see” the speakers.
Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the positioning possibilities are often limited. You can find the best position for your speakers by referring to the picture above.
As a minimum we recommend 5 speakers (2 front, a center,
2 surround) for good surround sound. It is possible to reproduce some kind of surround sound with fewer speakers.
This is done by redirecting the signals which are foreseen for the missing speakers to the existing ones. See “Menus” on how to set up the receiver correctly for the number and size of the speakers used.
Positioning the front speakers
The front speakers should be placed right and left in front of the listening position like usual stereo speakers.
Positioning the center speaker
The center speaker should be placed in the center between the two front speakers, e. g. underneath or on top of the TV.
The best height for the center speaker is the height of the listener’s ears (while seated).
Positioning the surround speakers
The surround speakers should face each other and be in line with, or slightly behind the listener.
Positioning the subwoofer
A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of your system dramatically. The subwoofer can be positioned anywhere in the room, because it is not possible to locate the source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place the subwoofer in the middle of a room, since the bass could be severely weakened. Do not place any object on the subwoofer.
Speaker setup and testing
The relative volume of the speakers must be adjusted for optimal surround sound. You should be at your usual listening position when adjusting the speaker volume. See “Receiver menus” on how to set up the receiver for the used speakers.
1 Press POWER / STANDBY to switch on the receiver.
2 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.
y
A test tone coming from the different speakers, except the subwoofer, is heard.
3 Press +/- REAR on the remote control to increase/decrease the volume of the actual speaker. The best result is achieved when all speakers have equal volume in the listening position.
4 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.
y

Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volume settings, we recommend making minor adjustments to them during surround sound playback.
Power handling
If the receiver is used at very high power it can produce distortions which may seriously damage your speakers. If distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to a level where the sound is acceptable again.
To avoid overheating of the set a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the set off and let it cool down before reusing it.
Headphones
Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the speakers. The receiver switches to
STEREO and surround sound will be reduced to a stereo signal which is reproducible by standard headphones.
Disconnecting the headphones switches on the speakers again. If you wish to enjoy surround sound again, switch the receiver back to surround sound.

4 Start the playback of the source as usual.
Notes: – The audio and video signal of VCR IN is not
reproduced by VCR OUT. The same applies to the
audio signal of CDR/TAPE IN to CDR/TAPE OUT.
– We recommend not to use the digital output
COAX OUT of the receiver to record from an
analogue source. Use the analogue output
CDR/TAPE instead.
Recording from the digital output
It is possible to connect a digital recorder to the digital output of the receiver. In this way, all signals coming from the digital inputs can be recorded directly on the connected audio recorder.
The receiver will also convert all signals coming from the analogue inputs to the digital output.
The receiver can be used to record digitally a multichannel surround sound audio signal (Dolby Digital or MPEG) from, for example, DVD to CD-R. The receiver will convert the digital multichannel signal into a stereo signal without loss of relevant sound information.
Notes: – Do not use the 3D SURROUND feature while making digital recordings as this will distort the digital audio signal.
– When recording a Dolby Digital or MPEG signal, each
track must be recorded individually.

SURROUND SOUND
About surround sound
Surround sound gives you a complete new listening sensation. You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action, because sound is coming from everywhere around you. Look out for TV broadcasts, audio and video tapes and discs with the 3 1 or marks which are encoded for multichannel surround sound.
You should prefer Dolby Digital or MPEG Multichannel to get the best out of your receiver.
Notice that DVDs do not always carry full multichannel surround. To be sure that a disc is multichannel encoded consult your dealer.
Most ordinary stereo tapes and discs can be replayed using surround sound settings with good results. If the reproduction is distorted in surround mode, switch to normal stereo mode.
The availabilty of the various surround sound modes described depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming sound information.
Switching surround sound
With surround sound on, you can switch through the different surround modes. Note that the possibilities are related to speaker setup defined in the receivers menu.
If a digital surround signal is detected, the receiver will scroll either
DOLBY DIGITAL or MPEG.
1 Press SURROUND ON/OFF to switch on the surround sound.
y
The surround mode in use is scrolled.
2 Press SURR. MODE repeatedly to listen to the different surround modes (if available).
y
The chosen mode and the speakers used are displayed.
If the incoming multichannel signals are reduced to fewer output signals,
DOWNMIX
is displayed.

SURROUND
The surround mode enables normal surround sound reproduction with 4 or 5 speakers. Depending on the source material, Dolby
Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or MPEG is reproduced.
PRO LOGIC, DOLBY DIGITAL, MPEG
In addition to
SURROUND, the surround mode used – depending on the source material – will be displayed. In case of digital surround, the sound format AC-3 (for Dolby Digital) or
MPEG (for MPEG 2 Multichannel) will be displayed, followed by the sound channels, available on the source (e. g. DVD).
Example:
AC-3 3/2.1 Dolby Digital, 3 front channels,
2 surround channels and a subwoofer channel.
MPEG 2/0.0 MPEG Multichannel, stereo sound only.
AC-3 3/1.0 Dolby Digital, 3 front channels, 1
(mono) surround channel without subwoofer signal.
FRONT-3 STEREO
The surround sound is muted. 3 Stereo lets you listen to surround sound without using the surround speakers.
3D SURROUND
The sound of the rear channel is simulated by the front speakers. Surround sound is simulated through the front left, right and center speakers. The position of the listener influences the surround effect. The area where the effect is best is shown in grey.
CENTER
FRONT
FRONT
LEFT RIGHT
STEREO
All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.
