1Turn on the receiver.

2Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons or the FUNCTION button on the remote control, or the INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel to select the component (DVD/LD etc.) you want to listen to/ watch.

You can only use this remote to control the component if it’s made by POINEER. For all other makers you need to setup the remote specifically to control your component (See p. 50).

3Choose a 2surround/dts mode by pressing

ADVANCED THEATER or STANDARD.

(For more see “Sound Modes” p. 36-37.)

4Press SIGNAL SELECT on the remote control or SIGNAL SELECT on the front panel to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (To select DIGITAL).

(See “Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL signal input” on p. 40.)

5Play a source (for example, a DVD player).

6Adjust the volume by using the MASTER VOLUME buttons on the remote control or the MASTER VOLUME on the front panel.

We recommend using different modes for different types of DTS material. For watching movies, the ADVANCED THEATER setting should provide the best results. For listening to music, the STANDARD, DIRECT, STEREO, or DSP modes should serve the listener best.

OPERATION

When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital

When connecting a DVD/LD player or LD player using the AC-3 RF output, a commercially available RF demodulator (RFD-1) is required. The RF demodulator changes the RF signal to a digital signal which is then processed by the receiver at the digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1 (See p.11).

Refer to pages 77, 78 for explanations of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS.
