8. CONNECTING SUBWOOFER PREOUT
To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered subwoofer.
R-772(A)2007.8.165:21PM 10

9. 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 11. After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout. (For details, refer to SETTING THE SPEAKER/ROOM EQ SETUP on page 57.) Surround back speakers When using only one surround back speaker, you should connect it to SURROUND BACK/MULTI LEFT channel. Because this receiver cannot drive the surround back speakers and the ROOM 2 speakers simultaneously, you should assign their power amplifier correctly depending on how to use them. (For details, refer to CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTS on page 12 and When selecting the AMP ASSIGN on page 49.) Front Bi-Amp Connections. Some speakers are equipped with two sets of input terminals, for bi-amplification. If no other surround back speakers are used, you can connect the FRONT and the SURROUND BACK/MULTI channels to the bi-amp-capable speakers. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of your bi-amp-capable speakers.) To drive the bi-amp-capable speakers, you should assign the power amplifier to "BI-AMP". Note : Before making bi-amp connections, remove the short-circuiting bars from the terminals of your speakers. 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.

Universal Remote Controls
This universal remote control can operate not only this receiver but also most popular brands of audio and video components such as CD players, tape decks, TVs, cable boxes, VCRs, DVD players, satellite receivers, etc. To operate 7 components other than this receiver , you should enter the setup code for each component. (For details, refer to USING FUNCTIONS OF REMOTE CONTROL on page 20.) The numbered buttons on the remote control have different functions in different device modes. For details, refer to "FUNCTION TABLE of the NUMBERED BUTTONS" on the next page. About the transmission signal This remote control can emit not only the infrared beams which the conventional remote control(inculding the ROOM 2 remote control) uses but also the RF(Radio Frequency) beams which are stronger than those. To operate this receiver and other components, this remote control should emit the infrared beams. To operate this receiver only from longer distance even if there are obstacles such as walls, furniture, etc. in the way, this remote control should emit the RF beams. Therefore, depending on how to use this remote control, you should set the tansmission signal mode to "IR"(default value) or "RF". (For details, refer to "Changing the transmission signal" on page 28.) Notes : To receive the RF beams, you should connect the RF remote antenna to this receiver. (For details, refer to "CONNECTING RF REMOTE ANTENNA" on page 12.) If the transmission signal mode is set to "RF", this remote control cannot control other audio and video components.

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.

Surround modes

DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel 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.

R-772(A)2007.8.165:21PM 34

ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND

Notes: Before surround playback, first perform the speaker setup procedure, etc. on the OSD menu for optimum performance. (For details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER/ROOM EQ SETUP" on page 57.)
