Important Note
Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or
BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distri-
bution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to avoid a possible
shock hazaed should it be inserted into a 13 amp socket else-
where.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code:
blue = neutral (N)
Brown = live (L)
As these colours may not correspond with the colour mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as fol-
lows:
- Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked n or coloured
black.
- Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured red.
- Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the
plug, marked E (or ) or coloured green (or green and
yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.

English
Connections
Connecting from a DVD and
additional components
To listen to playback from your DVD or SACD player.
Option 1
6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD IN
Use the supplied audio cables to connect the 6 CHANNEL-
DVD/SACD IN jacks to the corresponding Multichannel
AUDIO OUT on your DVD or SACD player.
About 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD IN
The 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD IN can be used to connect
from a device with a built-in multichannel decoder (e.g.
Dolby, Digital,DTS, etc) and 6-channel output, i.e. a high
end DVD/SACD player
When using the 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD IN audio
input, the Receiver works as a multichannel amplifier. The
source reproduces surround sound and sends it to the
Receiver divided into the necessary channels. Therefore
the SURROUND button has no effect since the provided
signal is already multichannel.
From a source which is connected to the 6 CHANNEL-
DVD/SACD IN, audio input cannot be recorded.
OR
Option 2
DIGITAL IN
Connect the OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack to the
DIGITAL OUT jack on the DVD or SACD player. You
will need to set the Receiver’s digital input to the jack
you connected to (refer to “System Setup - Digital Input”)
Connecting additional components
For listening to the playback from other audio/ visual devices
through the Reveiver
●Connect the AUDIO IN (TV/AV or AUX) jacks to the
AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV, VCR or other audio/visual
device.
AND/OR
●Connect the DIGITAL IN ( OPTICAL or COAXIAL)
jack to the DIGITAL OUT jack on other audio/visual
device. You will need to set the Receiver’s digital input to the
jack you connected to ( refer to “System Setup - Digital
Input”).
For recording to an external recording device
●Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to the AUDIO IN jacks
on an analog recording device.
AND/OR
●Connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to the DIGITAL IN
jack on a digital recording device. You can only make a digital
recording from digital signal received from the DIGITAL
IN jack on this receiver.

Connections Preparations
Notes:
–If the audio format of the digital input does not match
the capabilities of your Receiver, it will produce a strong
distorted sound or no sound at all
–Always refer to the instruction manual of the connected
equipment to make an optimal connection
Recording from the digital output
It is possible to connect a digital recorder to the digital
output of the receiver. In this way, all signals coming from
the digital inputs can be recorded directly on the connected
audio recorder.
The receiver can be used to record digital sound audio
signal from DVD to CD-R.
Notes:
–Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG signal are not possible to
record from this receiver.
–Digital recording is not possible when the digital source
material is copy-protected.
–Even when other source(TV/AV, DISC 6CH, TUNER or
AUX) is selected, all signals coming from the digital input(Coaxial
or Optical) will be continuously recorded on the connected
audio recorder.
Inserting batteries into the
remote control
1 Open the battery
compartment.
2 Place the batteries in the
compartment with the correct
polarity as indicated by ‘+’ and
‘-’ symbols.
3 Close the cover.
CAUTION!
–Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will
not be used for a long time.
– Do not use old and new or different types of
batteries in combination.
–Batteries contain chemical substances, so they
should be disposed off properly.
Setting up the surround sound
system
You must connect all the speakers and set up the system
properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at
home (refer to “Connections - Connecting the speakers”).
You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action
because sound is coming from everywhere around you. The
subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your
system dramatically.
IMPORTANT!
Please sit at your usual listening position in order to
set up the speaker balance correctly.
Placing the speakers
To obtain the best surround effect, place the speaker as
follows.
1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances
from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees
from the listening position.
2Place the center speaker above or below the TV, so the
center channel’s sound is localized.
3Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level
facing each other or mounted on the wall.
4Place the subwoofer on the floor near to the TV.
Notes:
–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front
speakers too close to your TV.
– If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away from
the listening position than the front and center speakers, it will
weaken the surround effect.
–All speakers should be securely installed to prevent accidents
and improve sound quality.
Switching on the system
1After completing all the connections, connect the AC power
cord of the Receiver to the wall outlet. The system will go
into STANDBY mode.
2Press STANDBY ON to switch on the last selected
source.
3Rotate the SOURCE button or press TV/AV, DISC ,
TUNER or AUX on the remote control to select the
input source.
➜ The selected source will be displayed.
PREPARATIONS
11
English
Basic Functions
Selecting the surround mode
IMPORTANT!
–For proper surround sound, make sure you have
followed the “Connections” and “Preparations”
procedures fully.
–The center and surround speakers only operate
when the system is set to surround sound mode and
the source material being played is recorded or
broadcast in Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic or
Pro Logic II surround sound.
– Stereo broadcasts or recordings will produce some
surround channel effects when played in a surround
mode. However, monaural sources will not produce
any sound from the surround speaker.
●Press SURROUND to select surround or stereo mode.
➜ The availability of the various surround sound modes
depend on the number of speakers used and the incoming
sound information available on the disc. The available output
modes are shown below.
Notes
Surround sound is not available in DISC 6CH mode.
Dolby Digital Surround
Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) and MPEG
Multichannel delivers a realistic and dynamic sound similar to
theater and cinema. It requires connection of all five
speakers (front left/right, center, surround left/right) and
subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital Surround sound
reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in
providing the right sound. Front left, center and front right
join two surround speakers to reproduce high, mid and bass
frequencies in five full-range channels of surround. Bass
rumble, explosions and low frequency effects you feel are
delivered through the subwoofer. (A large number of DVD
discs have recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.)
DTS Surround
The DTS Surround is a cinema surround sound format that
offers superior digital audio performance. DTS offers more
clarity and definition especially for higher tones. The better
sound quality is a result of the limited sound compression
(3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and the 20-bit
resolution.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded
two channels analog format that will produce sound through
four speaker channels (front left, center, front right, monaural
surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also
compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have
two channels (Front left & Right) of sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II Surround
Dolby Pro Logic II Surround creates five full bandwidth
output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using
an advanced, high purity matrix surround decoder that
extracts the spatial properties of the original recording
without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
Movie mode
The movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and
all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is
enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the
quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
Music mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings,
and provides a wide and deep sound space.
VSS (Virtual Surround Sound)
The Pro Logic MPEG or Dolby Digital surround channel is
processed by a ‘virtualizer’ DSP to add surround effect from
just the two front speakers.
Stereo
All sound is reproduced and played through the front left
and right speakers. This enables standard stereo
reproduction.
Selecting the digital sound effect
The digital sound effects allows you to select from various
preset modes that control the frequency bands of sound to
optimize certain musical styles. It greatly enhances the
excitement and enjoyment of your favorite music.
●Press SOUND repeatedly to select the available
sound effect.
In Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic II
(movie) mode, select :
–CONCERT, DRAMA, ACTION or SCI-FI
