channel space setting does not match the setting in the area where the  
system is to be used, for instance when you move from area 1 or area  
2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper reception of AM/FM  
broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case, change the channel space  
setting in accordance with your area by referring to the following table.

Notes  
INPUT SELECTOR  
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.  
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR key (or input selector keys)  
to select DVD, VIDEO or GAME (FRONT AUX).  
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.  
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)  
These cables are to be prepared separately by the user.  
3 "ANALOG": Fixed to analog input

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.  
Frontspeakers:PlacetheleftandrightspeakersateachsideofyourTV.  
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.  
Speaker impedance  
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the  
rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching imped-  
ance 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.  
Subwoofer : Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in  
thelisteningroom,nearoneofthefrontspeakers.(Sincethesubwoofer  
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.

PRE OUT jacks connections  
Connecting to the GAME/FRONT AUX jacks  
The receiver has additional PRE OUT jacks. Note that the output from the  
PRE OUT jacks needs to be connected to an external power amplifier.  
If you want to connect surround back speakers to these jacks, be always  
sure to connect two surround back speakers for the left and right.  
If you use a component that you do not usually connect to the receiver,  
such as a portable video camera, connect it to the GAME/FRONT AUX  
jacks on the front panel of the receiver. These jacks are particularly  
convenient when dubbing audio/video from a portable video camera.

Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby  
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-chan-  
nel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three  
surround channels from the two in the original recording.  
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, Left  
Surround, Right Surround, and Back Surround, each driving its own  
array of speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear  
speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even  
if you wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with  
sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard  
in real life.

The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents

DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theaters that  
includes an additional surround center channel matrixed within sur-  
round left and surround right. Its compatible on predecessor DTS 5.1  
system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and  
steering of sound across the rear soundstage. The DTS-ES receiver  
will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix.  
The DTS-ES decoders used in home cinema systems have decoding  
options for utilizing the extra channel, in addition to processing  
existing 5.1 channel surround sound :  
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall  
to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly  
effectivewhenusedwithstereoprogramsources, likeCD, television,

Resetting the Microcomputer  
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, then plug it back in  
while holding down the ON/STANDBY key.  
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 microcom-  
puter and return the unit to its normal operating condition.  
÷ 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.

NOTE:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits  
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment may  
cause harmful interference to radio communications, if it is not  
installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However,  
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to  
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:  
–– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Note to CATV system installer  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention  
to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper  
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be  
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the  
point of cable entry as practical.  
–– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
–– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from  
that to which the receiver is connected.  
–– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
