Connecting to Audio-Visual

Components

This receiver allows you to connect to a large varietyof audio or video components.

BeforeyouConnect

• Protect components from power surges.

• Connect all components before plugging anypower cords into the wall outlet.

• Always turn off the receiver and/or componentsbefore you connect or dmconnect any cables.

• Contact consumer relations if you have questionsconcerning the connections or components.

Note.' Always make sure that color-coded pins matchthe color of the terminals in which they are inserted.The connection cable plugs andjacks are color-codedasfollows:

Speaker Terminals: RT 2250- Red/Black (MainSpeakers), Blue/Black (Center Speaker), Grey/Black(RearSpeakers) and Brown/Black (subwoofer).RT2250R - Red/Black (Main, Center & Rear Speakers)

RCAPhono Type Terminals: Red for the fight(R)channel. White for the left (L) channel. Yellow for thevideo. Black for the powered subwoofer.

Positioningthe Cables

Prote tyourComponentsfromOverheating

• Do not block ventilation holes in any component.Arrange the components sothat air can circulatefreely.

• Do not stack components directly on top of eachother.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing yourcomponents in a stand.

• Race an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand soheating air rising from it will not affect other compo-nents. If you have a satellite receiver, you should placeit on the top shelf.

Cables should be positioned correctly to avoid audio

hum or interference. Below are a few suggestions:

• Insert all cable plugs into their jacks firmly.

• Place audio/video cables to the sides of the receiv-

er's back panel instead of straight down the middle

after you have connected the components.

• Try not to coil any power cables and keep them

away from the audio/video cables as much as possible.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly

grounded.

Positioning your Speakers

Your system isequipped with Dolby Digital, whichenables the unit to reproduce sound effects astheywere intended. However, the speakers must be prop-erly positioned and balanced.

to "Fine Setting of the Speakers" on page 12 &"Speaker Distance" on page 13

In order to enjoy Dolby-enhanced sound quality, fivespeakers are preferred: One center speaker, left andright main speakers, rear left and right speakers, andan optional subwoofer. However, if your frontspeakers are small speakers, then a subwoofer isessential or you will not be able to enjoy enhancedbass effects. Below are a few suggestions for the setup:

1. The two main speakers should be set between sixand ten feet apart. Putting them any closer or fartherapart may result in lesssatisfactory sound.2. Try to align center speaker and two main speakers,or set the center speaker slightly behind the left andright main speakers, otherwise the surround effectmay be tesssatisfactory.3. Aim the rear speakers directly at the two mainspeakers, matching height to height, tfthe room issparsely decorated, slightly tilt the speakers down toincreasesound quality. If the room isdenselydecorated, face the speakers towards the rear wall atthe ceiling.

Actually there are many more possible options. Youmay experiment repeatedly to find a right balancefor you.

Sound Enhancement Systems

This receiver isequipped with several built-in soundenhancement systemsto give you the sound qualityyou have once dreamed of - but now comes true:

DolbyProLogicandDolby3Stereo

This surround system reproduces theater-like surroundsound from Dolby-encoded software. The Pro Logicmode usesthe built-in circuit to steer the Left, Center,

Right and Surround channel audio signals and uses allfive speakers and an optional subwoofer to playdecoded Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TVand VCR.The 3 Stereo mode will redirect the

Surround signals to the front left and right speakerswhen only the front and center speakers are used.

Usethis mode to suit your speaker system configura-tions (such assize and number of speakers) and typeof program (suchasVCR).

5.1ch Inputfor DolbyDigital

The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digitalsurround from software processed in the Dolby Digitalformal Dolby Digital provides better sound qualityand more powerful presence than conventional DolbySurround.

When the soundtrack of a Dolby Digital movie wasmade, all the sound effects are mixed down to six sep-

arate channels of digital audio, and these six channelsof independent digital audio are pressed to a singlestream of digital data on your DVD. When you play itbyyour DVD player, the receiver decodes this streamof digital data back to six audio channels for playback.Dolby Digital isoptimal for DVD and SAT.

This unit isequipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channelinput terminal sothat you can enjoy enhanced fulldigital surround sound. Being different from DolbyPro Logic in which only four channels ( Front Left,Front Right, Centre and Rear ) are used, the new sys-tem provides stereo separation of the rear speakers(Rear-Right Rear-Left ). These 5 channels, togetherwith the subwoofer channel for basssounds (countedas 0.1 channel ),constitue as5.1-Channel ( or 6

Channels ) Input for Dolby Digital that brings you themost sophisicated sound enjoyment.

Press6 CH on the unit or DVDo6 CH button on the

remote to select the input connected to an external 6-

channel decoder. Pressagain return to the mostrecently selected mode.You can only adjust SoundControl, SLEEP mode, DIM selection, Source Buttonsand MUTE when this mode isselected.

Stereo

The Stereo mode usesthe two main channel outputsfrom the front speakers. Usethis mode if you haveconnected the front speakers only.

DSP(DigitalSoundProcessor)Thesedigital sound effects resemble sounds in a realenvironment such asStadium, Concert Theater,

Arena, Church, Club. lISP automatically converts ana-log audio signals to digital ones which enables you toadjust the sound without degrading the sound quali-ty. Different modes will give you different feel of sizeand type of listening environment.

NightMode

By using Dynamic Range Compression technology,you can enjoy enhanced sound quality by DolbyDigital at night without interrupting your roommatesor neighbors. While enjoying a Dolby Digital enabledcomponent (DVD, SAT),you can activate Night Modeby pressing NIGHT button at the front of the receiver,and this mode wilt compress the difference in volumebetween normal voices and sounds like explosions.There are two modes (SOFT,SOFTER)for you tochoose the extents of compression.

Fine Setting of the ComponentsInputIQOne of the smartest features of the receiver is the

ability to pre-setect the best surround mode for youonce you turn on the unit by pressing the SourceButtons (like DVD, SAT,CD) directly. The default sur-round modes for different components are astable

Fine Setting of the Speakers

This receiver supports a wide range of speakers andsubwoofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment,you need to register the speaker selection settings ofyour audio system. If you buy this receiver withaccompanied speaker package, then this step hasbeen done for you.

Also, to make the surround sound more effective and

suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room,you need to delay the signal from someof the speak-ers. Such channel delay compensates for center orsurround speakers that are closer to listening positionthan the front speakers. You can make use of theTEST/SET UP button to control the speakerssuch astheir relative loudness.
