Operating your Receiver 6 Channel external input An external decoder (Dts, Dolby Digital, etc…) or a device with built-in multi-channel decoder and 6 channel output connector (DVD player, TV…) can be connected to the 6CH input. It is therefore possible to play any future 6 Channels coding (SACD, DVD Audio) thanks to this connection. The external decoder device will send the separated audio infor- mation to the receiver that will then amplify the sig- nal and send to appropriate speakers. To activate 6 Channel external input, press the SOURCEor on the receiver until 6 CH is selected or press dvd/6 channeltwice on the remote control. 18 OPTICAL 1 OPTICAL 2FR SR SUBFL SL CEN 6 CH.

EN 19 Advanced Sound Control Sound Enhancement Systems This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement systems. Dolby Pro Logic II The Pro Logic II mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround left and right channel audio signals and uses all five speakers to play both stereo and Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TV and VCR. Dolby Pro Logic II includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Music and Dolby Pro Logic. Use this mode to suit the type of program (such as VCR). Dolby Digital The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in which only four channels ( Front Left, Front Right, Centre and Rear ) are used, the new system provides stereo separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left ). These 5 channels, together with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel ), constitute as 5.1-Channel ( or 6 Channels ) Input for Dolby Digital that brings you the most sophisticated sound enjoyment. Digital Theater Systems (DTS) DTS is a digital surround system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio. It offers five full-range channels plus a special low frequency effect (LFE) channel for subwoofer, resulting commonly know 5.1 channels. It can be applied with existing 5.1 speaker configurations. DTS is available in DVD, SAT/CAB, TV and CD mode.

20 Advanced Sound Control Stereo The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have connected the front speakers only. DSP (Digital Sound Processor) These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such as (STADIUM / THEATER / CONCERT / CLUB / CHURCH / ARENA) . DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you different feel of size and type of listening environment. Press DSP MODE on the main unit to select among DSP options.(Not available in Dolby Digital/DTS) Fine Setting of the Components The receiver has pre-selected surround mode once you turn on the unit by pressing the SourceButtons (like DVD, SAT, CD) directly. The default surround modes for different components are listed in the table below. If you decide to change the surround mode, you can press the SURR MODEbutton on the main unit or theater modeson the remote control repeatedly to toggle among the different surround mode choices and select the one you want.

EN 21 Advanced Sound Control Fine Setting of the Speakers This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and subwoofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment, you need to register the speaker selection settings of your audio system. If you buy this receiver with accompanied speaker package, then this step has been done for you. Also, to make the surround sound more effective and suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room, you need to delay the signal from some of the speak- ers. Such channel delay compensates for center or surround speakers that are closer to listening position than the front speakers. You can make use of the SETUPbutton to adjust the speakers’ relative loud- ness. The TEST TONE button You can adjust the relative loudness of the individual speakers by the TEST TONEbutton. 1. In Surround (Dolby Digital/Pro Logic/DTS) modes, press TEST TONEbriefly. A short noise will be heard in the speakers one by one. The speaker having the noise at that moment will be shown in the display. 2. To adjust the volume level of the test tone, turn up/down the VOLUMEknob or press vol + / -key on the remote control. 3. To adjust individual speaker volume level, press the LEVELbutton when the short noise is played on the speaker you want to adjust then turn the VOLUME knob to modify the output level.4. Press LEVELagain to save your setting. 5. Repeat step 3 to adjust other speaker volume lev- els. Advanced Setting Factory defaulted Advance setting indication from VFD The receiver has defaulted the following distances: Front speakers (L/R) 4.5m Center speaker (Cch) 4.5m Rear speaker (SUR) 3m Speaker Configurations You can also change the setup of the speakers by pressing the SETUPbutton until the display shows L/R SML or L/R LRG which enables you to set the size of the front speaker. Available Selections: Pressing SETUPbutton once, while the display is still showing L/R LRG, you may press the OKbutton to toggle among: front, center, surround, subwoofer, subwoofer phase and speakers’ distance, sleep and dimmer setup.

Speaker Icons The receiver shows you the speakers’ types and set- tings on the display with the following icons: Displaying Program Formats When a digital source is playing, the receiver will automatically switch to the proper surround mode and indicates on the speaker icons on the right-hand side of the display. (See diagram) It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby Digital sources are encoded with the full complement of five channels plus LFE*. Speaker icons show how many and which speaker you have enabled (See “Fine Setting of the Speakers”) and the letters inside the speaker icons show which channel is present in the source information. For example, the diagram shown means you have all the five speakers and subwoofer enabled and the digital sources you played have five channels plus LFE complemented. * LFE stands for Low Frequency Effect. The indication “LFE” appears if the digital source contains LFE infor- mation. In this case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer, offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects. If the letter is flashing, the signal is either too weak or just gone.
