PREPARATION SPEAKER SETUP Speakers to Be Used This unit has been designed to provide the best soundfield quality with a 6-speaker system, using left and right main speakers, left and right rear speakers, and a center and rear center speakers. If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly.
SPEAKER SETUP Connecting the Speakers CAUTION • Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit. • Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers. ■ Speaker cables A speaker cable is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.

ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD) INTRODUCTION You can display the operation information for this unit on a video monitor. If you display the SET MENU and DSP program parameter settings on a monitor, it is much easier to see the available options and parameters than it is by reading this information on the front panel display. Selecting the OSD Mode SELECT y POWER POWER TV AV AMP 2 REC • If a video source is being reproduced, the OSD is superimposed over the image.
SPEAKER MODE SETTINGS This unit has 6 SPEAKER SET items on the SET MENU that you must set according to the number of speakers in your configuration and their size. The following table summarizes these SPEAKER SET items, and shows the initial settings as well as other possible settings. If the initial settings shown in the following table are not appropriate for your speaker configuration, change settings following the steps described in “1 SPEAKER SET” from pages 56 to 59.
ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS Use the test tone to balance the output levels of the speakers required for a surround sound system. The adjustment of each speaker output level should be made at your listening position with the remote control. After completing the adjustments, use VOL +/– at your listening position to check if the adjustments are satisfactory.
ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS LEFT RIGHT 4 CENTER SUBWOOFER Adjust the output level of the effect speakers using j / i so the output level coming from the effect speakers is the same as that of the main speakers. While adjusting, the test tone is heard from the selected speaker. + TV VOL CH TV MUTE SELECT – PRESET CH + PRESET TV VOL – Note LEFT SURROUND RIGHT SURROUND • The output level of the main speakers cannot be adjusted here.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) Understanding Sound Fields A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a particular space.” In concert halls and other music venues, we hear early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) Straight Decode This unit is equipped with various precise decoders; Select any of the STRAIGHT DECODE modes in Program 10 (except for the sub-program “Enhanced.”) to use any of these decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied and the DSP indicator turns off.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) Features of DSP Programs CINEMA DSP Hi-Fi DSP Mode The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. 36 Type of sources For music sources For audiovideo sources No. Program Sub program Features 1 CONCERT HALL — A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect.
Mode DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) Type of sources No. CINEMA DSP This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques.

TUNING There are 2 ways of tuning; automatic and manual. Automatic tuning is effective when station signals are strong and there is no interference. ■ Automatic tuning 1 Press PRESET/TUNING l / h once to begin automatic tuning. Press h to tune in to a higher frequency, or press l to tune in to a lower frequency. Press the same button again if the tuning search does not stop at the desired station.
TUNING Notes Presetting Stations ■ Automatically presetting stations (for FM stations) You can use the automatic preset tuning feature to store FM stations. This function enables this unit to automatically tune in to FM stations with strong signals, and to store up to 40 (8 stations x 5 groups) of those stations in order. This feature enables you to easily tune in to any preset station by selecting the preset station number (see page 41).
