FEATURES Your new receiver is a versatile audio/video control c enter. The rec eiver is designed to sound sensational and be an attractive, easy-to-use addition to your audio/video system.

y our center c hannel speaker , but y our receiver c an produce mono in two or f our channels ( see “Surround Mode”). Since all m odern source s are stereo, the m ono inform ation is usually replicated on both the left and right channels. Stereo - Stereo contains two discrete, full range audio channels .
Bass Management - Dolby Digital and DTS form ats contain up to 5 f ull range channels plus LFE. Only a sy stem with five full-range (large) s peaker s plus a s ubwoofer c an directly reproduce these f orm ats.

MAKING THE CONNECTION It’s tem pting to just plug in your new receiver and have great sound pour out. Befor e y ou do that, take a few minutes to plan out how y ou want the receiver to f it into y our audio/video system. As k yourself the f ollowing questions: What source components do I want to connect to my receiver? (CD, VCR, etc.
AUDIO / VIDEO CONNECTIONS Connecting your analog sources to your receiver A udio / Video sour ce - connecting a DVD/VLD play er to the receiver’s analog inputs. Use the same ins tructions for c onnecting to other audio / video sources s uc h as a television, satellite rec eiver, cable box , etc.
DIGITAL CONNECTIONS Connect digital inputs (DVD, VLD, etc.) to the rec eiver. You will need either coaxial or optical digital inputs to play Dolby Digital (AC- 3) or DT S sur round sound proc essing. Digital connections are also r ecom m ended f or PCM sources.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS Five-way binding posts are provided, one pair f or each channel. They are designed to acc ept a banana-type plug or spade lug connector (s how n below) and are color coded for easy identification. The red (+) post should always be connected to the speak er’s red (+) jack .
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS The FM j ack is a s tandard scr ew on F-type connector. T he AM is a push type. Strip ¼ inch of insulation off y our AM antenna wires and ins ert one wire end into each hole while holding the tabs down. Release the tabs to loc k in the AM antenna wires.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS My collection of equipment differs from the labels on the back of my receiver, how can I hook them up? Your receiver provides 5 identical sets of inputs - V1, V2, DVD, CD, and SAT. Each of these has analog audio, com posite video, S-video, c oaxial digital audio, and optical digital audio.
M y laserdisc player (or other digital source) has only optical output, but my CD recorder (or other digital recorder) has only coaxial input. Do I need some sort of converter to make direct digital recordings? No, y our rece iver will convert optical to coaxial and c oaxial to optical.
