ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS This section explains how to adjust the speaker output levels by using the test tone generator. The “TEST DOLBY SUR.” is for balancing the output levels of the six speakers required for surround sound systems. The “TEST DSP” is for balancing the front effect speakers with the main speakers for the DSP sound field programs. When this adjustment is made, the output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker.
ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT CONNECTIONS LEVELS LEFT CENTER RIGHT SURROUND REAR CENTER TEST DOLBY SUR. LEFT • It is not necessary to readjust the speaker level once it is set as long as you do not change the speakers. You can enjoy listening to or watching the input source with the desired volume by adjusting the volume key. • You can increase the output levels of the effect speakers (center, left rear and right rear and rear center) to +10 dB.
ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS The state of the test tone output is also shown on the monitor by an image of the audio listening room. This is convenient for adjusting each speaker level.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting.
SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING Changing Parameter Settings You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory-set parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial settings, you can change some of the parameters to better suit the input source or your listening room.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ DSP LEVEL Function: Description: Control Range –6 dB – +3 dB This parameter adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range. Depending on the acoustics of you listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect level relative to the direct sound.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ LIVENESS Function: Description: Control Range 0 – 10 This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces.
DIGITAL SOUND SOUND FIELD FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS EDITING ■ REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments, and a shorter time for “live” sources and listening room environments.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS For 8ch Stereo ■ CT LEVEL (Center Level) Function: This parameter adjusts the volume level for the center channel in 8-channel stereo mode. ■ RL LEVEL (Rear Left Level) Function: Music ■ PANORAMA Control Range OFF/ON Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for wraparound effect. ■ DIMENSION Function: Control Range 0 – 100 % This parameter adjusts the volume level for the front effect right channel in 8-channel stereo mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING ■ General Problem Firmly connect the power cord. The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is not fully set to the left or right position. Set the switch fully to the left or right position when this unit is in the standby mode. The protection circuitry has been activated. Make sure all speaker wire connections on this unit and on all speakers are secure and that the wire for each connection does not touch anything other than its respective connection.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause The sound suddenly goes off. The protection circuit has been activated because of a short circuit, etc. Remedy Check the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch is set to the appropriate position and then turn this unit back on. Check the speaker wires are not touching each other and then turn this unit back on. Only the speaker on one side can be heard. No sound from the effect speakers. The sleep timer has functioned. Turn on the power, and play the source again.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Remedy “Digital output” and “Dolby Digital” or “DTS” are not selected on the connected components. Make an appropriate setting following the operation instructions for your component. Poor bass reproduction. “1E LFE/BASS OUT” on the SET MENU is set to SWFR or BOTH and your system does not include a subwoofer. Select MAIN (see page 63). The output mode for each speaker (main, center, rear, or rear center) on the SET MENU does not match your speaker configuration.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Remedy Cause The sound is degraded when listening with headphones connected to a tape deck or CD player that is connected to this unit. This unit is in the standby mode. Turn on the power of this unit. There is noise interference from digital or high-frequency equipment, or this unit. This unit is too close to the digital or highfrequency equipment. Move this unit further away from such equipment. This unit suddenly turns into the standby mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING ■ Remote control Problem Remedy The remote control will function within a maximum range of 6 m (20 feet) and no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel (see page 7). Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of this unit. Reposition this unit. The batteries are weak. Replace the batteries. The manufacturer code has not been correctly set. Set the manufacturer code correctly (see page 47).
GLOSSARY ■ Dolby Surround ■ Dolby Pro Logic Dolby Surround uses a four analog channel recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two left and right main channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special sound effects (monaural). The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as well.
GLOSSARY ■ Component video signal This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low frequency range compared to the full-range reproduced by the other 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel systems. With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB/CB and PR/CR signals for the chrominance.
