Getting started

Before applying the power

Units are designed for operation as follows.

For the United Kingdom

Factory fitted moulded mains plug

1.The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.

2.The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the moulded plug.

3.Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT

???The delay time can be adjusted in the range from 15 ms to 30 ms, in 5 ms steps.

???This adjustment is also possible with the LEVEL CONTROL key of the main unit.

What is delay time?

The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor, ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The delay time is the difference in time between the direct sound and indirect sounds.

???The input selector does not change the first time you press the VIDEO key.

How to calculate the proper delay time

Assuming that the distance from the front speaker is A meters and the distance from the surround speakers is B meters

Ambience effects

This receiver incorporates 3 different sound modes to let you 3 2 enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources.

The Dolby Pro Logic surround sound let you enjoy theater- like surround effects when you play Dolby Pro Logic pro- gram sources (like Laserdiscs). Dolby 3 Stereo creates a panoramic frontal sound field while keeping dialog on screen. The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes let you create a variety of different sonic environments from almost any type of program source.

To obtain the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete "Preparing for surround sound" before using the surround modes.$

Sound modes

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel surround format designed to provide theater-like surround sound from Dolby Pro Logic program sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked). This receiver is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available Dolby Pro Logic home video software.

Operations

Dolby 3 Stereo

Dolby 3 Stereo creates a panoramic frontal sound field while maintaining the dialog in an on-screen position. This mode is designed for use with Dolby program sources, but can also improve sound field unity for non-Dolby program sources. Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however, may not be as accurate when used with non- Dolby program sources.

DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an arena, jazz club, or stadium to almost any type of program source.* These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the STADIUM or ARENA mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

The WALL parameter lets you adjust the ???brightness??? of the sonic environment according to your preference.^

The ROOM SIZE parameter lets you adjust the size of the sonic environment according to your preference. &

The EFFECT level lets you adjust the ???presence??? of the sonic environment according to your preference. ^

*The DSP mode will produce a stereo-like surround effect from monaural sources, but there will be some reduction in the presence of the arena, jazz club, or stadium.

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).

The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.

???PLAY or TUNING/SKIP (+/???) can also be used instead of POWER.

???If the component does not react, and there is more than one setup code, enter another setup code and try again.

???If the component is already on, pressing POWER will turn it off.

???This code replaces any previous setup codes entered for the respective component.

???If you have components that are not remote controllable, like a record player (etc.), you will need to register a Non-IR code at the respective input. This keeps the respective input in the remote control's cyclic list

so you can select it using the remote control. Please consult the owner's manual of the components you are connecting for information regarding remote controllability. The list of Non-IR codes is included at the beginning of the Set up code chart.t

???This operation should take about 3 seconds.

???Once registered, the display on the receiver shows the component type instead of the default input name.

Example: if you register a VCR at the VIDEO 1 jacks, "VCR" appears instead of "VIDEO 1 (SAT)".

???After initial setup, any VIDEO (VIDEO 1, 2, 3) or TV (TV1, TV2, CABLE) inputs that have not been programmed with a setup code or Non-IR code are deleted from the cyclic list (except for the "AV AUX" VIDEO input). The PHONO input will be deleted if a Non-IR code was not registered.
