12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER The remote controller RC5500SR must be programmed to use the codes for your appliances of different brands. This is done by keying in a 4digit code or by scanning the codes until the correct one is found.
REMOTE CONTROL The distance between the transmitter of the remote control and the IR SENSOR of the SR4600 should be less than 5 meters. If the remote control is pointed in a direction other than the IR SENSOR or if there is an obstacle between them, use of the remote control may not be possible. LOADING BATTERIES The life of the batteries used with the remote control is about 4 months with normal use. Also be sure to replace batteries earlier when you notice that they are getting weak.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, surround back left and right speakers, and a subwoofer. For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side.

Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker’s position from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated according to these distances. Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating position in the room. This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper sound space that the SR4600 and today’s sound systems are able to produce. Note that the speakers that you selected “None” for in the Speaker Config sub-menu will not appear here. 1. 3.

ENGLISH SURROUND MODE The SR4600 is equipped with many surround modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played. The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input signal and speaker setup. AUTO When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/ 24 or PCM-audio.
CAUTION This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multichannel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS. In the Pure Direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range frequency response and the purist audio reproduction. 96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in this mode.
ENGLISH The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal The surround mode is selected with the surround mode selector on SR4600 or the remote control unit. However, the sound you hear is subject to the relationship between the selected surround mode and input signal. That relationship is as follows; Surround Mode Input Signal Decoding AUTO Dolby Surr. EX Dolby D (5.1ch) Dolby D(2ch) Dolby D (2ch Surr) DTS-ES DTS 96/24 DTS (5.1ch) PCM(Audio) PCM 96kHz HDCD Analog Dolby D Surr.
ATTENUATION TO ANALOG INPUT SIGNAL LISTENING THROUGH HEADPHONES DISPLAY MODE This jack may be used to listen to the SR4600’s output through a pair of headphones. Be certain that the headphones have a standard 1/4" stereo phono plug. (Note that the speakers will automatically be turned off when the headphone jack is in use.)

ENGLISH RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the SR4600 is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for TAPE OUT, CD-R/MD OUT, VCR1 OUT, and DSS/VCR2 OUT in the record mode.
4. If it is necessary to adjust the output level of each channel, press the CH.SEL button on the remote. Adjust the speaker output levels so that you can hear the same sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and surround back speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between – 10 to +10 dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted between – 15 and +10 dB. These adjustments result will be stored to 7.1 CH. INPUT memory.
