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.

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.
