Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver's digitM input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center spet_ker) and a sub woot_r are required.

You can also connect tin LD player with an RF OUT jack via tin RF demodulator, like the Sony MOD-RFI (not supplied).

Notes

•

You cannot connect an LD player's DOLBY DIGITAL RF OUT jack directly to this unit's digital input jacks.

You must first convert the RF signal lo either an optical or coaxial digital signal.

For details, see

"Troubleshooting" on page 50.

Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi chmmel input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other them Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player's multi channel decoder.

Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi ch_mnel decoder.

To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub wootEr are required.

Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi channel hookups.

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver.

To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers.

Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal, the stripped end of another speaker cord, or the metal parts of the receiver.

Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.

After connecting all the components_ speakers_ and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly.

if no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output lYom a speaker other them the one whose mune is currently displayed on the receiver, the speaker may be sbort-circuited.

If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

To avoid damaging your speakers

Make sure tha_ you turn down the volume before you turn off _he receiver.

When you turn on the receiver, the volume remains at the level you turn off the receiver.

Once you have booked up the speakers _md turned on tbe power, clear the receiver's memory.

Tip

To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection

(page 21 ).

Clearing the receiver's memory

Before using your receiver for the first time, or when you w_mt to clear the receiver's memory, do the following.

This procedure is not necessary if the demonstration activates when you turn on the power.

Turn off the receiver.

2 Hold down I/(J) for 5 seconds.

The demonstration starts (p_ge 4) and all of the l_llowing items are reset or cleared:

• All preset stations are reset or cleared.

• All sound field par_uneters are reset to their factory settings.

• All index names (of preset stations and program sources) are cle_wed.

• All SET UP p_wameters are reset to their factory settings.

• The sound field memorized for each program source and preset stations _we cleared.

• The master volume is set to VOL MIN.

Performing initial setup operations

Before using your receiver for the first time, adiust SET UP par_uneters so that the receiver correspond to your system.

For 1he adiust_ble parameters, see the table on page 57. See pages

15-20 for speaker settings _md pages 37-38 for other settings.

For the best possible surround sound, all spe_kers should be the same dist_mce from the listening position (O).

Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker.

•

Set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers.

Surround speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (_ on page 15) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer to your listening position (_ on page 15).

Tip

The receiver allows you to input the speaker position ill terms of distance.

However, it is not possible to set the center speaker thl_tber than the front speakers.

Also, the center speaker cannot be set mole than

1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers call not be set farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

And tbey can be no mole than 4.5 meters

(15 feet) closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to enjoy surround sound.

Please note that, se_ting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speakel\ In otber words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.

For example, setting the center speaker distance

IN2 m (3-6 feet) closer than the actual speaker position will creale a fairl * realistic sensation of being

"inside" the screen.

If yotl cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer

{shorter} than tile actual distance will cl_ate a larger sound stage.

* These parameters ale not available when

"Surround speaker size (_ _)" is sel m "NO".

Tip

The surroimd speaker position parameter is designed specitically for implement ation of the Digital Cinema

Sound modes with vilaual elements.

With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as critical as other modes.

All modes with vilOtUalelements were designed under tile pl_mise that tile surromld speaker would be located behind lhe listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with tile surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle.

However, if the speakers are pointing towards the listener from the immediate let] and right of the listening position, tile sound fields with virtual elements will not be effective unless the surround speaker position parameter is set to "PL. SIDE".

Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, like wall reflections, and you m_y obtain better results using "PL. MID" and "PL. BEHD." if your speakers ale located high above the listening position, even if they ale to the immediate left and right.

Thel_fore, although it may result in a setting contrary

to the "Surround speaker position" explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and listen to the effect each setting h_s on your listening environment.

Choose the selting

that provides a go_xl sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between

the surround sound from tile surround speakers and

the sound of the front speakers.

If you ale not sure which sounds besb select "PL. BEHD." and then use

the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

Only when you use the speaker system other than the supplied one, be sure to

set the following

Internally, _he LARGE and SMALL settings ti0r each speaker determine whether or not the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.

When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass i_direction circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other "LARGE" speakers.

However, since bass sounds have a certain amount

directionality, it is best not to cut them.

If tile overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set al! speakers to "LARGE".

If there is not enough bass, you can use the BASS +/- to boost the bass levels.
