Before you start

Using the Quick Setup

You can use the Quick Setup to get your system up and running with just a few button presses. The receiver automatically makes the necessary settings after you have selected your room size and listening position.

If you want to make more specific settings, refer to The System Setup menu.

Use the front panel controls for the steps below.

1 Press STANDBY/ON to switch on.

2 Press QUICK SETUP.

3 Use the MULTI JOG dial to choose your room size.

Depending on the distance of your speakers from the listening position, choose between small, medium, or large (S, M or L), M being an average-sized room.

4 Press ENTER.

5 Use the MULTI JOG dial to choose your listening position.

You can cycle between the following choices:

•FWD — If you are nearer to the front speakers than the surround speakers

•MID — If you are equal distance from the front and surround speakers

•BACK — If you are nearer to the surround speakers than the front speakers

6 Press ENTER to confirm your setup.

The display shows the room size and listening position that you have selected.

Listening to your system

Important

•Certain features explained in this section will not be possible depending on the source (for example, PCM 88.2 kHz/96 kHz, DTS 96 kHz (24 bit) or WMA9 Pro sources).

Auto playback

The simplest, most direct listening option is the Auto Surround feature. With this, the receiver automatically detects what kind of source you're playing and selects multichannel or stereo playback as necessary.

•While listening to a source, press STEREO for auto playback of a source.

Press repeatedly until AUTO SURR. shows briefly in the display (it will then show the decoding or playback format). Check the digital format indicators in the display to see how the source is being processed.

Note

•Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded accordingly using 2 Pro Logic II MOVIE.

•The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you connect headphones or select the multichannel analog inputs.

Listening in surround sound

Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in surround sound. However, the options available will depend on the type of source you're listening to.

•While listening to a source, press STANDARD. If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround encoded, the proper decoding format

will automatically be selected and shows in the display.

With two channel sources, press STANDARD repeatedly to select from:

•2 Pro Logic II MOVIE — Up to 5.1 channel sound, especially suited to movie sources

•2 Pro Logic II MUSIC — Up to 5.1 channel sound, especially suited to music sources

•2 Pro Logic II GAME — Up to 5.1 channel sound, especially suited to video games

•2 PRO LOGIC — 5.1 channel surround sound

Using the Advanced surround effects

Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

•Press ADV.SURR.(ADVANCED SURROUND) repeatedly to select a listening mode.

•ADV. MOVIE — Suitable for movie sources.

•ADV. MUSIC — Suitable for music sources.

•TV SURR. — Provides surround sound for both mono and stereo TV sources.

•SPORTS — Suitable for sports programs.

•ADV. GAME — Suitable for video games.

•EXPANDED — Simulates multichannel surround sound for two-channel sources.

•EX. POWER (Extra Power) — Gives multichannel sound to a stereo source, using all of your speakers.

•VIR. SURR — A virtual surround effect using just the subwoofer and front speakers.

•PHONESUR. (Phones Surround) — Creates the effect of overall surround with headphones.

Note

•Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect (stereo field is wider than Standard modes with Dolby Digital sources).

Setting the effect options

When using surround effects, there are a number of settings you can adjust.

1 Press EFFECT/CH SEL repeatedly to select the setting you want to adjust.

Depending on the current status / mode of the receiver, certain options may not appear. Check the table below for notes on this.

2 Use the LEVEL+/– buttons to set it as necessary.

See the table below for the options available for each setting. The defaults, if not stated, are listed in bold.

3 Press EFFECT/CH SEL again to adjust other settings.

Setting	What it does	Options
Center Width*	Spreads the center channel	0 to 7
	between the front right and	Default: 3
	left speakers, making it sound
	wider (higher settings) or
	narrower (lower settings).
Dimension*	Adjusts the surround sound	–3 to +3

	making the sound more
	distant (minus settings), or
	more forward (positive
	settings).
Panorama*	Extends the front stereo image	OFF

		ON
	for a ‘wraparound’ effect.
Effect	Sets the effect level for the	10 to 90
	currently selected Advanced
	Surround mode (each mode
	can be set separately).

*Only available with 2 ch sources in Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode.

Using the Virtual Surround Back mode

Selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual surround back channel through your surround speakers. For example, you can choose to listen to sources with no surround back channel information (for example, 5.1 encoded material) with emulated 6.1 encoding (VSB ON). Sometimes the material may sound better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally encoded. In this case you can simply switch it off (VSB OFF).

•Press VSB MODE (front panel) to select a virtual surround back channel option.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

•VSB ON — Virtual Surround Back is always used (for example, on 5.1 encoded material)

•VSB OFF — Virtual Surround Back mode is switched off

Note

•You can't use the Virtual Surround Back mode with headphones or with the STEREO / DIRECT mode.

Listening in stereo

When you select STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers (and subwoofer). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.

•While listening to a source, press STEREO for stereo playback.

Press repeatedly to switch between:

•STEREO — The audio is heard with your surround settings and you can still use the Midnight, Loudness, and tone functions.

•DIRECT — Bypass all effects and surround settings so that the audio remains as close to the source audio signal as possible.

•AUTO SURR. — See Auto playback above.

Note

•DIRECT switches to STEREO when using Midnight, Loudness, Dialog Enhancement, or the tone controls.

Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the compression process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to compressed

2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.

•While listening to a source, press S.RETRIEVER. Press repeatedly to switch between:

•RTRV1 ON — This option is engineered especially for portable digital audio players.

•RTRV2 ON — This option is engineered especially for portable digital radio devices (only applicable when using the FRONT AUDIO INPUT).

•OFF — Switches the Sound Retriever off.
