memo
• Install the left and right front speakers at equal distances from the TV.
• When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference such as distortion in the color of the TV screen. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV screen, place the speakers farther away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above, below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.
• If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
• It may be difficult to obtain a cohesive surround effect if the surround speakers are installed farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers.

Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. The dynamic range control helps you play back sounds so the quieter sounds are audible yet the louder sounds don’t get distored. It does this by compressing the dynamic range. When watching a movie at low volume, setting this function enables low level sounds to be heard more easily.

marks. Most Dolby Surround software is marked
, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Pro Logic.
For more information about Dolby formats, refer to page 42.
DSP modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) modes allow you to transform your living room into a variety of different sonic environments when playing standard (two-channel) stereo sources, Dolby Surround sources, and Dolby Digital sources.
HALL 1
Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall of wooden construction. Complex delay of reflected sounds coupled with reverberation effects create a dynamic and beautiful sound characteristic of an orchestra performing in a concert hall, making it suitable for classical music
HALL 2
Simulates the acoustic environment of a concert hall with stone walls. The rich reverberations and natural fullness of the sound create the auditory impression of being in a concert hall, making it suitable for classical music.
JAZZ
Simulates the acoustic environment of a jazz club. Less delay on the reflected sounds emphasizes the sensation of hearing a live band.
DANCE
Simulates the acoustic environment and strong bass sound of a nightclub with a square dance floor. A short delay on the reflected sounds emulates the raw power of the dance music.
THEATER 1
Adjusts the delay of the reflected sound to simulate the acoustic environment of a medium sized movie theater.
THEATER 2
Simulates the acoustic environment of a theater while maintaining proper localization of each channel.

When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital
When connecting a DVD/LD player or LD player using the AC-3 RF output, a commercially available RF demodulator
(RFD-1) is required. The RF demodulator changes the RF signal to a digital signal which is then processed by the amplifier at the digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1.
Refer to pages 42 for explanations of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic.

Sound Modes
Selecting a Sound Mode
To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the set up procedures described in “Setting Up for
Surround Sound” (starting on page 14) before using the sound modes. This is particularly important when using the
(Dolby) Surround mode. When using the sound modes, SPEAKERS A are used. If SPEAKERS B are selected and a sound mode is turned on, selection automatically switches to SPEAKERS A only.

Additional Information
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a compression format which records the sound of 6 channels of the theater surround system
(Dolby Digital) on the movie film digital track. Of the 6 channels, the sub woofer channel is intended for bass only, and because the frequency range is smaller than the main channel, it is expressed as 5.1 channel.
Dolby Digital is the name of the Dolby surround multichannel digital system that was developed after the
Dolby Surround System and Dolby Pro Logic Surround
System.
5.1 channel digital surround track
4 channel analog sound track (Matrix)
Dolby
Digital encoding
Dolby Digital for motion picture
The number of movies made using Dolby Digital since
1992 has exceeded 300 and continues to increase. For compact disc players and laser disc digital sounds, 16 bits are used to sample the original analog audio waveform and sampling is carried out 44,100 times every second. However because an enormous amount of recording signal data is required for the multi channel system with this method, AC-3 is used to compress the data.
In reproducing audio signals, the smaller the bit number used, the lower the sound quality. With AC-3, drop in auditory sound quality is prevented by using masking technology and digital filtering technology based on the human auditory characteristics.
Laser disc format
Laser discs are now available on the market in large numbers. This means that the recording of different format audio signals on the laser disc raises the important question of compatibility with existing laser discs. Dolby Digital tracks on Laser Discs record signals using the space of one analog audio channel so it will maintain compatibility with existing discs and players.
As shown in the following figure, the digital audio sounds of Dolby Digital discs can be played back as currently done. Analog sounds are played back by using the other channel without the Dolby Digital signals for monaural audio signals.
