02 5 minute guide Chapter 2: 5 minute guide Introduction to home theater You are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen to music, but may not be used to home theater systems that give you many more options (such as surround sound) when listening to soundtracks. Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert.
02 5 minute guide Listening to Surround Sound This receiver was designed with the easiest possible setup in mind, so with the following quick setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings. Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source. 1 Hook up your DVD player.
02 5 minute guide 3 Connect your speakers. A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here but everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best. Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal.
02 5 minute guide • If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (shown below). • If you select subwoofer (SB SW) in the Surround back speaker setting on page 46 you can hook up a subwoofer instead of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals.
02 5 minute guide Using the Quick Setup You can use the Quick Setup to get your system up and running with just a few button presses. The receiver automatically makes the necessary settings after you have selected your speaker setup, room size and listening position. Note that you don’t have to make these settings if you use the automatic MCACC setup instead (in this case, go straight to the Quick surround sound setup on page 14). 3 Use the MULTI JOG dial to choose your speaker setup.
02 5 minute guide 6 Press ENTER. 7 Use the MULTI JOG dial to choose your listening position. You can cycle between the following choices: FWD MID BACK FWD – If you are nearer to the front speakers than the surround speakers MID – If you are equal distance from the front and surround speakers BACK – If you are nearer to the surround speakers than the front speakers 8 Press ENTER to confirm your setup. The display shows the speaker setup, room size and listening position that you have selected.
03 Quick surround sound setup Chapter 3: Quick surround sound setup Automatically calibrating your listening area (MCACC) The Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level.
03 Quick surround sound setup If you see an ERR message in the display, there may be a problem with your mic or the speaker connections. Turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the ERR message (see below), then try the auto surround setup again. • ERR MIC – Check the microphone connection. • ERR Fch – Check the front speaker connections. 9 Press ENTER to finish the auto surround setup. The system checks for speaker size, channel delay and channel level.
04 Connecting up Chapter 4: Connecting up Component video cords • Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Audio/Video cords Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect the audio/video components and a video cord to connect the monitor TV. Use component video cords to get the best possible color reproduction of your video source.
04 Connecting up Connecting digital components The easiest way to hook up this receiver for surround sound is to use a digital input. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial output from the component to coaxial input on the receiver).
04 Connecting up Connecting audio components To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks. For components you want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver (a set of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs), but for components that only play, you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs.
04 Connecting up Connecting DVD 7.1 channel components If you prefer to use a seperate component for decoding DVDs, you can connect a decoder or a DVD player with multi-channel analog outputs to the multi-channel inputs of this receiver. When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet. • The arrows indicate the direction of the signal. AM LOOP DIGITAL OUT CENTER FM UNBAL 75 Ω AUX IN SUB W. D V D 7.
04 Connecting up Connecting video components Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. With digital video components (like a DVD player), you must use the connections shown on this page for the video signal, but in order to hear a digital source (like a DVD) you should hook up the audio to a digital input (see page 17). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections (see page 18).
04 Connecting up Connecting antennas Antenna snap connectors Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna as shown below. To improve reception and sound quality, connect external antennas (see Using external antennas below). Always make sure that the receiver is switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet before making or changing any connections. Twist the exposed wire strands together and insert into the hole, then snap the connector shut. 3/8 in.
04 Connecting up Connecting the speakers A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown below, but everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.
04 Connecting up • When using the speaker on your TV as the center speaker (C), connect the CENTER PREOUT jack on this unit to the audio input jack on your TV. In this case the center speaker shown is unnecessary. • The speaker terminals also accept single banana plugs. (Refer to speaker manual for details.) • If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (see illustration on page 11).
04 Connecting up • Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV. • When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV.
04 Connecting up Connecting additional amplifiers This receiver has more than sufficient power for any home use, however it is possible to add additional amplifiers to every channel on the VSX-D912. Make the connections shown below to add amplifiers to power your speakers. Always make sure that the receiver is switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet before making or changing any connections. • The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
04 Connecting up AC outlet Power cord caution Power supplied through this outlet is turned on and off by the receiver's power switch. Total electrical power consumption of connected equipment should not exceed 100 W (0.8 A). Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or an electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord.

06 Playing sources Chapter 6: Playing sources Introduction to Sound Modes You can identify Dolby Digital software by the There are three basic sound options: Stereo/ Direct (STEREO/DIRECT), Standard (STANDARD) or Advanced Surround (ADVANCED SURROUND). 1 or marks. Most Dolby Surround software is marked 3, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround. Depending on the source and the sound mode you have selected, you may not get sound from the surround back speakers in your setup.
06 Playing sources Neo:6 Music (MUSIC) Sports (SPORTS) This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The Neo:6 Music mode plays the stereo source as is through the front left/right speakers, and generates a natural, ambient surround and center sound. This is designed for sports programs with alot of action, adding to the excitement by bringing background action to the forefront.
06 Playing sources Choosing the input signal • Default setting: AUTO You need to hook up a component to both analog and digital inputs on the rear of the receiver to select between input signals. • This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz–96 kHz) and DTS digital signal formats (including DTS 96kHz/24 bit). With other digital signal formats, set to ANALOG. • You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal.
06 Playing sources 1 Switch on the playback component. 2 Switch on the receiver. 3 Select the source you want to playback. Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons (or INPUT SEL). 4 Press STANDARD.
