Important Note

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or

BSI approved type. 3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distri- bution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to avoid a possible shock hazaed should it be inserted into a 13 amp socket else- where.

How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N) Brown = live (L)

As these colours may not correspond with the colour mark- ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as fol- lows: - Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked n or coloured

black. - Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked N or

coloured red. - Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the

plug, marked E (or ) or coloured green (or green and

yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord

grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over

the two wires.

Connecting from a DVD and additional components To listen to playback from your DVD or SACD player.

Option 1 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD IN Use the supplied audio cables to connect the 6 CHANNEL- DVD/SACD IN jacks to the corresponding Multichannel AUDIO OUT on your DVD or SACD player.

About 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD IN The 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD IN can be used to connect from a device with a built-in multichannel decoder (e.g. Dolby, Digital,DTS, etc) and 6-channel output, i.e. a high end DVD/SACD player

When using the 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD IN audio input, the Receiver works as a multichannel amplifier. The source reproduces surround sound and sends it to the Receiver divided into the necessary channels. Therefore the SURROUND button has no effect since the provided signal is already multichannel.

From a source which is connected to the 6 CHANNEL- DVD/SACD IN, audio input cannot be recorded.

OR Option 2 DIGITAL IN Connect the OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack to the DIGITAL OUT jack on the DVD or SACD player. You will need to set the Receivers digital input to the jack you connected to (refer to System Setup - Digital Input)

Connecting additional components For listening to the playback from other audio/ visual devices through the Reveiver

Connect the AUDIO IN (TV/AV or AUX) jacks to the AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV, VCR or other audio/visual device.

AND/OR Connect the DIGITAL IN ( OPTICAL or COAXIAL)

jack to the DIGITAL OUT jack on other audio/visual device. You will need to set the Receivers digital input to the jack you connected to ( refer to System Setup - Digital Input).

For recording to an external recording device Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to the AUDIO IN jacks

on an analog recording device.

AND/OR Connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to the DIGITAL IN

jack on a digital recording device. You can only make a digital recording from digital signal received from the DIGITAL IN jack on this receiver.

Connecting antennas MW Indoor Loop Antenna

Connect the supplied MW loop antenna to the MW jack. Position the loop antenna to receive the clearest sound.

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM jack. Move the antenna in various directions until the clearest signal is received.

Note: Keep the antenna as far away as

possible from the TV, VCR or any

radiation source to prevent unwanted noise.

FM Outdoor Antenna

For better FM reception, use a 75 ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the system to an outdoor FM antenna as shown.

Connections Preparations Notes: If the audio format of the digital input does not match the capabilities of your Receiver, it will produce a strong distorted sound or no sound at all Always refer to the instruction manual of the connected equipment to make an optimal connection

Recording from the digital output It is possible to connect a digital recorder to the digital output of the receiver. In this way, all signals coming from the digital inputs can be recorded directly on the connected audio recorder. The receiver can be used to record digital sound audio signal from DVD to CD-R.

Notes: Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG signal are not possible to record from this receiver. Digital recording is not possible when the digital source material is copy-protected. Even when other source(TV/AV, DISC 6CH, TUNER or AUX) is selected, all signals coming from the digital input(Coaxial or Optical) will be continuously recorded on the connected audio recorder.

Inserting batteries into the remote control 1 Open the battery

compartment. 2 Place the batteries in the

compartment with the correct polarity as indicated by + and - symbols.

3 Close the cover.

CAUTION! Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will not be used for a long time. Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination. Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed off properly.

Setting up the surround sound system You must connect all the speakers and set up the system properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at home (refer to Connections - Connecting the speakers). You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action because sound is coming from everywhere around you. The subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your system dramatically.

IMPORTANT! Please sit at your usual listening position in order to set up the speaker balance correctly.

Placing the speakers

To obtain the best surround effect, place the speaker as follows.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances

from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees

from the listening position.

2 Place the center speaker above or below the TV, so the

center channels sound is localized.

3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level

facing each other or mounted on the wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near to the TV.

Notes: To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front

speakers too close to your TV.

If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away from

the listening position than the front and center speakers, it will

weaken the surround effect.

All speakers should be securely installed to prevent accidents

and improve sound quality.

Switching on the system 1 After completing all the connections, connect the AC power

cord of the Receiver to the wall outlet. The system will go into STANDBY mode.

2 Press STANDBY ON to switch on the last selected source.

3 Rotate the SOURCE button or press TV/AV, DISC , TUNER or AUX on the remote control to select the input source. The selected source will be displayed.

hBasic Functions Selecting the surround mode

IMPORTANT! For proper surround sound, make sure you have

followed the Connections and Preparations

procedures fully.

The center and surround speakers only operate

when the system is set to surround sound mode and

the source material being played is recorded or

broadcast in Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic or

Pro Logic II surround sound.

Stereo broadcasts or recordings will produce some

surround channel effects when played in a surround

mode. However, monaural sources will not produce

any sound from the surround speaker.

Press SURROUND to select surround or stereo mode. The availability of the various surround sound modes depend on the number of speakers used and the incoming sound information available on the disc. The available output modes are shown below.

Notes Surround sound is not available in DISC 6CH mode.

Dolby Digital Surround Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) and MPEG Multichannel delivers a realistic and dynamic sound similar to theater and cinema. It requires connection of all five speakers (front left/right, center, surround left/right) and subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital Surround sound reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in providing the right sound. Front left, center and front right join two surround speakers to reproduce high, mid and bass frequencies in five full-range channels of surround. Bass rumble, explosions and low frequency effects you feel are delivered through the subwoofer. (A large number of DVD discs have recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.)

DTS Surround The DTS Surround is a cinema surround sound format that offers superior digital audio performance. DTS offers more clarity and definition especially for higher tones. The better sound quality is a result of the limited sound compression (3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and the 20-bit resolution.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded two channels analog format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left, center, front right, monaural surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have two channels (Front left & Right) of sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Dolby Pro Logic II Surround creates five full bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

Movie mode The movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

Music mode The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

VSS (Virtual Surround Sound) The Pro Logic MPEG or Dolby Digital surround channel is processed by a virtualizer DSP to add surround effect from just the two front speakers.

Stereo All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.

Selecting the digital sound effect The digital sound effects allows you to select from various preset modes that control the frequency bands of sound to optimize certain musical styles. It greatly enhances the excitement and enjoyment of your favorite music.

Press SOUND repeatedly to select the available sound effect.

In Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic II (movie) mode, select :

CONCERT, DRAMA, ACTION or SCI-FI In Stereo, VSS, Pro Logic II (music) mode, select : JAZZ, ROCK, DIGITAL or CLASSIC

Dimming the display screen Press DIM repeatedly to select different levels of

brightness for the display screen : HIGH, MID or LOW.
