SUBWOOFER PREOUT connection · To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered subwoofer. 8. CONNECTING SPEAKERS · Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+ and -). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. · For installing the speakers, refer to "Speaker placement" on page 8. · After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout.(For details, refer to "Speaker Setup" on page 18.) Caution : · Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms or above. · Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers. 7 Speaker placement 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 : ¡á 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. ¡á 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. ¡á Surround back speaker · Place the surround back speaker at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers. · We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp. ¡á Subwoofer · The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired. ¡á 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. 8 9. CONNECTING MICROPHONE · To use Auto Speaker Setup function, connect the microphone to the SETUP MIC jack.(For details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP AUTOMATICALLY(AUTO SPEAKER SETUP)" on page 21.)

Surround modes ¡á DTS Digital Surround DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multichannel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates. Discs bearing the " " include the recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can be 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 Neo : 6 Cinema This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources. · DTS Neo : 6 Music This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals from the center, surround left, surround right and surround back channels adds a natural sense of expansion to the sound field. ¡á DTS - ES Extended SurroundTM ( ) This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly improves the 360- degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals, offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format. In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the surround back (sometimes also referred to as "surround center") channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods as follows: · DTS-ESTM Discrete 6.1 Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround back channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic image are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed to the surround left and surround right channels so that none of the signal components are lost. · DTS - ESTM Matrix 6.1 With this format, the additional surround back channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and surround right channels beforehand. During playback, they are decoded to the surround left, surround right and surround back channels. Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel signal sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder. When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are decoded with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum surround mode is selected. However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix mode should be selected manually to play these sources. ¡á DTS 96/24 Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency. With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz. In addition, this format has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96kHz / 24 bit PCM signals. As with conventional DTS surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels. DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 sources can be played using a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder. "DTS", "DTS-ES", "DTS 96/24" and "Neo:6" are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. ¡á 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. ¡á Dolby Digital EX This mode creates the back (sometimes also referred to as "surround center") signals from the surround left and right signals in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel source using a matrix decoder and provides 6.1 channel surround playback. For the best results, this mode should be selected during playback of sources(bearing the " ") recorded in Dolby Digital EX. With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially. When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby Digital EX decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected. However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected as Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX mode should be selected manually to play these sources. §s DTS Neo : 6TM surround This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1channel surround playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source. 27 ¡á Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround ¡á Dolby Headphone Dolby Pro Logic IIx decodes all stereo (2 channel ) and 5.1 channel sources and extends to 7.1channel surround playback. It delivers the most natural, full range and immersing 7.1 channel listening experience. Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround includes two modes as follows : · Dolby Pro Logic IIx 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 IIx Music When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects. The Dolby Headphone function simulates 5.1 channel surround sound, which allows you to enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound through 2 channel headphones, just like listening from 5.1 channel speakers. This mode is effective not only for 5.1 channel sources but also for stereo(2 channel) sources. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby", "Pro Logic" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. ¡á MPEG Multichannel ¡á 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, etc. to surround processing to offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie and Dolby Pro Logic II Music like Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround. This mode is a surround system which faithfully reproduces the ambience and dynamics of movie soundtracks and music alike. Though the number of audio channels are same as Dolby Digital, discs bearing the " " provides much better at locating individual sounds to the correct and stable position in the sound stage. · 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 3 provided surround modes according to the program source you want to play. ¡á Dolby Virtual Speaker This mode creates a virtual surround sound field using as few as two front speakers, allowing you to experience listening from 5.1 channel speakers. This mode is effective not only for 5.1 channel sources but also for stereo(2 channel) sources. Dolby VIrtual Speaker includes two listening mode as follows: · Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference The width of the front sound image is defined by the actual distance between front speakers. · Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide The width of the front sound image seems to extend beyond the front speakers. ¡á Theater This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater when watching a movie. ¡á Hall This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall for classical music sources such as orchestral, chamber music or an instrumental solo. ¡á Stadium This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games. · When using the EXTERNAL INs to play back the sound from the additional multi-channel decoder for surround sound, you can enjoy the corresponding surround sound, too.( For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component to be connected.)
