Input mode settings

DVD, VIDEO and GAME (FRONT AUX) inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input. The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for DVD, VIDEO and GAME (FRONT AUX) are full auto. After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the steps below.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though all connections have been made properly, reset the micro computer referring to "In case of difficulty". Notes 1. Be sure to turn off the system components before connecting them. 2. Be sure to insert every connection cable completely into the jack. Incomplete connection may result in absence of audio output or production of noise. 3. Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet before inserting or removing a connection cable. 4. Installation of outdoor antenna is a dangerous work. Please have your dealer or a specialized technician install it.

Input selector keys

INPUT SELECTOR
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR key (or input selector keys) to select DVD, VIDEO or GAME (FRONT AUX). 2 Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows: 1 "F-AUTO": Auto detect ("AUTO DETECT" indicator lights up) 2 "D-MANUAL": Fixed to digital input ("DIGITAL" indicator lights up) 3 "ANALOG": Fixed to analog input * ("AUTO DETECT", "DIGITAL" indicator goes off)

Analog audio connections

Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have 2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left channel. These cables are to be prepared separately by the user.
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard. Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the unit. Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below. Top panel Side panel : 10 cm (3-15/16") : 10 cm (3-15/16")
Can not be selected for DTS playback.
Auto detect: In "F-AUTO (FULL AUTO)" mode ("AUTO DETECT" indicator light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically. The receiver will select the input mode and listening mode automatically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS) and the speaker setting. The "DIGITAL" indicator lights up when a digital signal is detected. The "DIGITAL" indicator is extinguished when no digital signal is detected. Fixed to digital input: Select this mode if you want to keep the decoding condition (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) in the current listen mode. When "D-MANUAL (DIGITAL MANUAL)" mode is selected, the set listen modes may be changed automatically depending on the input signal. Fixed to analog input: Select this setting to play analog signals from a VCR, etc. If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

Back panel : 10 cm (3-15/16") Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface. Otherwise, absorption of dust may cause a fire hazard.
The power in this equipment will not be completely cut off from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off. Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

DTS disclaimer clause

When playing DTS-encoded discs, excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs of the CD or DVD player. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, this unit must be connected to the digital output of the CD or DVD player.
Connecting the speakers CAUTION
Make sure that the power cord plug is disconnected from the AC wall outlet before proceeding to speaker cord connections. If the conductor wires on the extremity of speaker cord are untwisted, there is a risk of short-circuiting. Be sure to twist them well before connecting the speaker cord.

Whether each speaker is connected properly can be confirmed by outputting the test tone and checking if each speaker channel outputs audio. For details, see "Speaker settings" (Step 5 Adjust the speaker volume level). *

Never short circuit the + and speaker cords. If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers correctly.

Speaker impedance

After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver.
Front speakers : Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect. Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback. Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners. Subwoofer : Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.) Surround back speakers : Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the same height as the left and right surround speakers. Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available. ^

Using RDS (Radio Data System) (For Europe and Australia)
Before using a function utilizing the RDS, be sure to perform the RDS Auto Memory operation by referring to the description in "Presetting RDS stations (RDS AUTO MEMORY)". RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception can extract the information from the broadcast signal for use with various functions, such as automatic display of the station name. The "AUTO" display and "MEMORY" display appear alternately.

Resetting the Microcomputer
The microcomputer may malfunction (unit cannot be operated, or shows an erroneous display) if the power cord is unplugged while the power is ON, or due to some other external factor. If this happens, execute the following procedure to reset the microcomputer and return the unit to its normal operating condition. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, then plug it back in while holding down the ON/STANDBY key. Please note that resetting the microcomputer will clear the contents of the memory and returns the unit to the state it was in when it left the factory.
