Dolb y Pro Logic Surr ound The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder prog r am lets y ou e xperience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolb y Surround mo vie theater sound in y our own home .
Setting Up Y our Speaker System This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full fiv e-speak er system setup , using one e xtra pairs of eff ect speak ers to gener ate the sound field plus one center speak er f or dialog, when using Dolb y Pro Logic Surround decoding.
Speakers and Speaker Placement Y our full fiv e-speaker system will require tw o speak er pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (y our normal stereo speakers) and the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS , plus the CENTER SPEAKER. Y ou ma y also be using a subwoof er . Y ou will probably use y our present stereo speak ers as the MAIN SPEAKER pair .
8 1-2. SETUP Bef ore you star t making connections make sure all related electronic components are turned OFF . REAR P ANEL SINGLE DUAL DUAL INPUT TAPE OUTPUT SINGLE AB 10dB 0dB - To AC outlet 15 7 9 .
1 Main Le v el Switch Nor mally set to “0 dB”. If desired, y ou can decrease the main- channel line output le v el at the MAIN OUTPUT jac ks b y 10 dB b y setting this s witch to “–10 dB”.
C Video NTSC/P AL Switch (General Model only) Set this s witch to the position corresponding to the standard that your video equipment emplo ys . D V oltage Selector (General Model only) Be sure to set to the line v oltage in your area bef ore applying pow er .
CONNECTING AN INTEGRA TED STEREO AMPLIFIER OR STEREO RECEIVER T O THIS UNIT Using an Integrated Amplifier or Stereo Receiver with PRE OUT and MAIN IN T erminals Some integrated amplifiers and stereo receiv ers ha v e PRE OUT and MAIN IN jacks which permit the preamplifier and power amplifier sections to function independently .
Using an Integrated Amplifier or Stereo Receiver that Does Not Have PRE OUT and MAIN IN T erminals If your integ rated amplifier is NO T equipped with PRE OUT and MAIN IN jac ks, this unit must be connected to the amplifier or receiv er T APE jacks .
CONNECTING A COMPONENT PREAMPLIFIER T O THIS UNIT Connect the PRE OUT jac ks of the preamplifier (control amplifier) to this unit’ s INPUT jac ks with a stereo pin cab le .
CONNECTING T O VIDEO SIGNAL J A CKS If your integ r ated amplifier or similar component is equipped with a video output jac k, connect it to this unit’ s VIDEO IN jack, and connect this unit’ s VIDEO OUT jac k to the video input of y our monitor .
CONNECTING SPEAKER SYSTEMS Connect the SPEAKERS ter minals to your speak ers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as shor t as possible . If the connections are f aulty , no sound will be heard from the speakers . Mak e sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is , + and – markings are obser ved.
16 CONNECTING THE CENTER SPEAKER(S) T O THIS UNIT Connect the CENTER speak er to the CENTER SPEAKERS ter minals. One or tw o CENTER speak ers can be connected to this unit.
ADDING A SUBW OOFER Y ou ma y wish to add a subwoof er to reinf orce the bass frequencies. This unit provides a line-le v el subw oof er output, which contains only the frequencies under 200 Hz from the main and center channels.

1 P o wer Switch * ST ANDBY Mode (Europe model only) While the pow er is on, pressing the PO WER k ey on the remote control unit s witches the unit to the ST ANDBY mode. (In this mode, the indicator is half illuminated.) 2 Remote control sensor Signals from the remote control unit are receiv ed here.
REMO TE CONTR OL UNIT 1 P o wer K ey T ur ns this unit on and off . * (Europe model only): T ur ns the POWER on mode to the ST ANDBY mode and vice versa.
PREP ARA TION 1. Set all v olume controls—on the main amp (preamp) and eff ect pow er amplifiers—to their MINIMUM positions . 2. T ur n on the power to all system components . This unit is turned on by pressing the PO WER s witch on the front panel or the PO WER ke y on the remote control unit.
MAIN/CENTER/REAR EFFECT SPEAKER LEVEL B ALANCE ADJUSTMENT This operation uses an internal test-tone generator f or balancing the le v els of the main, center and rear eff ect speakers. All speak ers should be adjusted to the same apparent sound le v el f or proper Dolby Pro Logic decoding.
O THER IMPOR T ANT SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS IN THE “SET MENU” MODE The f ollo wing three types of settings and adjustments should be done bef ore enjo ying audio and video sources . Note that these settings and adjustments cannot be done without monitoring the displa y inf or mation (or the inf ormation displa y ed on the monitor screen).
24 2-1. PLA YING A SOURCE 1. Set the MASTER V OLUME control to minim um. 2. T ur n the power on. 3. Select a source using the input selector on the integr ated amplifier etc.
2-2. DIGIT AL SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS This unit has 16 progr ams f or digital sound field processing, 4 from actual acoustic en vironments from around the world, and 12 programs f or A udio/Video sources including sources encoded with Dolby Pro Logic surround.
26 2-6. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD PR OGRAMS The f ollo wing list giv es brief descriptions of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP prog r ams. K eep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic en vironments .
5. CONCER T VIDEO: This program produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets y ou f eel that y ou are in the midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or roc k concer t.
9. TV THEA TER: The data of the sound field of a relativ ely narro w space is used f or the front presence side. A moder ately siz ed spatial sound field without e xcessiv e sound e xtension and re v erber ations giv es reality to the characters in a dr ama.
29 13. 70 mm MO VIE THEA TER 1: This program is ideal f or precisely reproducing the sound design of the new est mo vies . The sound field is made according to the design of the new est mo vie theaters , so the re v erberations of the sound field itself are restrained as m uch as possib le .
30 3-1. SELECTING AND EDITING PR OGRAM P ARAMETERS WHA T IS A SOUND FIELD? In order to e xplain the impressiv e functions of the DSP system, we need to first understand what a sound field really is . What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the w alls of the room.
Each sound field progr am has a set of parameters that allo w y ou to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment to create precisely the eff ect y ou w ant. These par ameters correspond to the many natur al acoustic f actors that create the sound field y ou e xperience in an actual concer t hall or other listening environment.
32 3-2. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGIT AL SOUND FIELD P ARAMETERS Not all of the f ollo wing par ameters are f ound in e v ery program. ● INIT DL Y (Initial Delay) How it Aff ects the Sound: Changes the apparent distance from the source sound.
33 ● REV . TIME (Reverberation Time) How it Aff ects the Sound: The natural re v erberation time of a room depends primarily on its size and the char acteristics of its inner surf aces . This parameter , theref ore , changes the apparent siz e of the acoustic en vironment ov er an e xtremely wide r ange .
