Setting up the system

Make connections as shown in the following pages.

When connecting the related system components, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components you are connecting.

Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all connections are completed.

Notes

1. Be sure to Insert all connection cords securely. If their connectrons are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there wrll be noise interference.

2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or unplugging any connectron cords Pluggrng/unplugging connection cords without disconnectrng the power cord can cause malfunctrons and may damage the unrt.

3.Do not connect power cords from components whose power consumption is larger than what IS indrcated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.

Audio connections are made usrng RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audro srgnal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audro of two channels. These cables usually have 2 plugs each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left channel. These cables are usually packed together wrth the source unit, or are available at your local electronics retarler. though all connectrons have been made properly, reset the microcomputer referring to “In case of difficulty”.

Ambience effects

This receiver is equipped with listening modes that allow you to enjoy an enhanced sonic ambience with a variety of video sources.

In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround modes, make sure to input the proper speaker settings beforehand.

DTS

The DTS multi-channel audio format IS avarlable on CD, LD and DVD software. DTS IS a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded insrde most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to lrsten to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD,

LD or DVD player, you wrll experience drgital noise rn most cases. Thus noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high power amplificatron system. Proper measures for playing the digital output as described below should be taken to avord thus situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier wrth a built-In DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected tothe drgrtal output (S/P DIF. AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.

All models are rncorporated with the DTS decoder.

What’s DSP?

DSP stands for Drgrtal Srgnal Processor

The way a sound IS heard rn an actual envrronment depends on a varrety of drfferent factors One of the most Important IS reverbera- tion (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in varrous places)

The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberatron, without sporlrng the sound qualrty of the ongtnal srgnal.
