2. Connecting audio/video components

• The AUX/TV jacks may be connected to an additional TV or audio component such as a CD player, tape deck, etc..

• Only during playback of DVD Videos on this unit, the MONITOR COMPONENT VIDEO OUTs of this unit can be

capable of outputting either conventional interlacing video signal or progressively scanned video signal (that

can reproduce high-density pictures with less flicker).

• According to the types of video signals, the excellence in picture quality is as follows :

“Progressive COMPONENT” > “Interlaced COMPONENT” > “S-VIDEO” > “COMPOSITE”

• When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y/PY” to “Y”(or PY), “Cb/Pb” to “Cb”(or “B-Y, “Pb”)

and “Cr/Pr” to “Cr”(or “R-Y”, “Pr”).

• Depending on the type of the COMPONENT VIDEO INs of Monitor TV, be sure to set the COMPONENT

VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL to the corresponding setting.

(Refer to “CHANGING THE COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL” on page 39.)

• A signal input into S-VIDEO IN jack will be output in the MONITOR S-VIDEO OUT jack only.

• In case of COMPOSITE VIDEO signal, a signal input into VIDEO 1 COMPOSITE VIDEO IN jack will be output

in the MONITOR COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT jack only and a signal input into VIDEO 2 COMPOSITE VIDEO IN

jack will be output in the VIDEO 1 and MONITOR COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT jacks.

Notes :

• When the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL is set to PROGRESSIVE TV, the S-VIDEO and

COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTs of this unit cannot output the video signals, meaning the picture will not be shown.

• When the progressive video signals are input into the non-progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INs of monitor

TV, the picture may not be shown normally.

Therefore, when the progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INs of monitor TV are not connected to, you should set

the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL to INTERLACE TV.

• Do not connect the unit to the TV through a VCR. Otherwise the picture may be disturbed due to the copy

protection function.

SURROUND SOUND

• This receiver incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound

quality and sound atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a

multi-channel digital signal format which can handle

higher data rates than Dolby Digital. Although both

Dolby Digital and DTS are 5.1 channel formats,

discs bearing the “ ” are generally thought to

provide better sound quality due to the lower audio

compression required.

It also provides wide dynamic range and separation,

resulting in magnificent sound.

“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are registered

trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal

format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs

bearing the “ ” includes the recording of up

to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can

reproduce much better sound quality, spatial

expansion and dynamic range characteristics than

the previous Dolby Surround effect.

• Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be

recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system.

Dolby Pro Logic II surround

This mode applies conventional 2- channel signals

such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well

as Dolby Surround signals from sources bearing the

“ ” , etc. to surround processing to

offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro

Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes

two modes as follows:

Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE

When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to

further enhance the cinematic quality by adding

processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action

special effects.

Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC

When listening to music, this mode allows you to

further enhance the sound quality by adding

processing that emphasizes the musical effects.

• The following modes apply conventional 2-channel

signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals

to high performance Digital Signal Processor to

recreate sound fields artificially.

Select one of the four provided surround modes

according to the program source you want to play.

Theater

This mode provides the effect of being in a movie

theater when watching a movie.

Hall

This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall

for classical music sources such as orchestral,

chamber music or an instrumental solo.

Stadium

This mode provides the expansive sound field to

achieve the true stadium effect when watching

baseball or soccer games.

5 CH stereo

This mode provides a wider, deeper and more

natural sound stage from 2-channel source material.

This is done by feeding the left channel signal to

both front and surround left speakers and the right

channel signal to both front and surround right

speakers.

Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of

the right and left channels.

Surround modes

ENGLISH

For your reference, the sound from each channel can be reproduced according to the surround modes as

follows:

• Depending on the speaker settings and the number of the encoded channels, the sound from the corresponding

channels cannot be reproduced.(For details, refer to “Adjusting the speaker settings” on next page)

(*) : Depending on the speaker settings, the sound from the subwoofer channel may be reproduced.

Modes

DTS Dolby Digital Dolby Pro Logic II Other Surround Stereo

Channels

Front L/R

Center

Surround L/R

Subwoofer

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your

room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of

speaker placement and recommendations are as follows :

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with

TV or monitor screen as possible.

Place the center speaker between the front left and right

speakers and no further from the listening position than the

front speakers.

Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of

the listener’s ears when at the main listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40

inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct

left and right of them or slightly behind.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.

Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.

Notes :

When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference with the

TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right

and center speakers.

To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the

subwoofer should be full range speakers.

Speaker distance settings

When enjoying 5.1 channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, etc., it is ideal that the center

and surround speakers should be the same distance from the main listening position as the front speakers.

By entering the distance between the listening position and each speaker, the delay times of center and surround

speakers are automatically adjusted to create an ideal listening environment virtually (as if the center and

surround speakers were at their ideal locations respectively as below.)
