About the supplied remote control
Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several
operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In
order to effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain a
proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.).
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation
modes may result in incorrect operations.

Special features
True home theater sound
This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you
maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround mode
according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and
enjoy!
Dolby Digital
The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from
software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up
to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and
more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor
PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows
user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing
5.1 like presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for controlling
the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. PRO
LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video software
marked and three-dimensional space from music CD.
When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer
STEREO surround sound.
DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that
provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)
channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a
(wide) dynamic range.
In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD
disc (carrying the DTS marking) can be played in Digital Surround.
Important:
When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be
output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the
digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.
DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a
variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like ARENA, JAZZ
CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM and DISCO. It is compatible with
almost any kind of program source.
DVD 6-channel input
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver
allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source
material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are
digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience
is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound
systems.
CINEMA EQ
Cinema EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any
conditions. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when you
switch CINEMA EQ ON during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.
ACTIVE EQ
The ACTIVE EQ function provides an enhanced sound balance from the
5.1 channel speakers especially when small speakers are being used and
it is available during the receivers operation.
However, this feature is not available during front large speaker selection
and DVD 6-channel playback.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this
receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and
video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register
the components you have connected.
How to use this manual
This manual is divided into four sections, Preparations, Operations,
Remote Control, and Additional Information.
Preparations
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the
receiver and prepare the surround processor.
Since this receiver works with all of your audio and video components,
we will guide you in setting up your system to be as easy as possible.
Operations
Shows you how to operate the various functions available on the
receiver.
Remote Control
Shows you how to operate other components using the remote control,
as well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once
you have registered your components with the proper setup codes, youll
be able to operate both this receiver and your other AV components (TV,
VCR, DVD player, CD player, etc.) using the remote control supplied with
this receiver.
Additional Information
Shows you additional information such as In case of difficulty
(troubleshooting) and Specifications.

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 connections are
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise
interference.
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging
or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection
cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions
and may damage the unit.
3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power
consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the
rear of this unit.
Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer
stereo audio signal in an analog form. This means the audio signal
corresponds to the actual audio 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 with the
source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even
though all connections have been made properly, reset the
microcomputer referring to In case of difficulty.
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO 2 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks for digital
audio input and analog audio input.
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each
connected component.
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO 2 input), you must set the input
mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO 2,
DVD/6CH.
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DTS play mode
1 F-AUTO (digital input, analog input)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input)
In CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, DVD/6CH play mode
1 F-AUTO (digital input, analog input)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input)
3 6CH INPT (DVD/6CH input)
4 ANALOG (analog input)
Digital input:
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD
player.
Analog input:
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,
or record player.
Auto detect:
In F-AUTO (full auto) mode (AUTO DETECT and DIGITAL
indicators light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input
signals automatically. Priority is given to digital signal during input
mode selection. The receiver will select the input mode and listening
mode automatically during playback to match the type of input
signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS ) and the speaker setting. The initial
factory setting is full auto.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode,
use the INPUT MODE key to select D-MANUAL (digital manual).
However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases
in which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a
Dolby Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening
mode and source digital.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be
produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.
