Advanced Sound Control
Fine Setting of the Speakers
This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and
subwoofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment,
you need to register the speaker selection settings of
your audio system. If you buy this receiver with
accompanied speaker package, then this step has
been 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 some of the speak-
ers. Such channel delay compensates for center or
surround speakers that are closer to listening position
than the front speakers. You can make use of the
TEST/ SET UP button to adjust the speakers’ relative
loudness.
The TEST/ SET UP button
You can adjust the relative loudness of the individual
speakers by TEST/ SET UP button. In Dolby modes,
press the button briefly. A short noise will be heard
in the speakers one by one. The speaker having the
noise at that moment will be shown in the display.
You can listen to that speaker and rotate the MULTI
JOG to adjust the level.
Advanced Setting
Factory defaulted Advance setting indication
from VFD
The receiver has defaulted the following distances:
Front speakers (L/R) 15 ft
Center speaker (Cch) 15 ft

Speaker Configurations
You can also change the setup of the speakers by
pressing the TEST/ SET UP button until the display
shows L/R SML or L/R LRG which enables you to set
the size of the front speaker.
Available Selections:
Pressing TEST/SETUP repeatedly while the display is
still showing L/R LRG (about 5 seconds), the display
will toggle among: front, center, surround, sub-
woofer, subwoofer phase and speakers’ distance
setup. Set the speaker size or speakers’ distance by
rotating the MULTI JOG.

NOTE
• The sub-woofer selection will always be YES
when the main speakers are set to small
(SML).
• For the subwoofer phase setting, it will be
affected by how you locate the subwoofer.
Try both + and - settings and select the one
that has better bass effect.
• If your unit comes with speakers, always set
all speakers size to “small” to protect them
and optimize the sound quality.
Advanced Sound Control
Stereo
The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs
from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have
connected the front speakers only.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real
environment such as Stadium, Concert, Theater,
Arena, Church, Club. DSP automatically converts ana-
log audio signals to digital ones which enables you to
adjust the sound without degrading the sound quali-
ty. Different modes will give you different feel of size
and type of listening environment. (Not available in
Dolby Digital (DVD))
Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Compression technology,
you can enjoy enhanced sound quality by Dolby
Digital at night without interrupting your roommates
or neighbors. While enjoying a Dolby Digital enabled
component (DVD, SAT), you can activate Night Mode
by pressing NIGHT button at the front of the receiver,
and this mode will compress the difference in volume
between normal voices and sounds like explosions.
There are two modes (SOFT, SOFTER) for you to
choose the extents of compression.
Fine Setting of the Components
The receiver has pre-selected the best surround mode
for you once you turn on the unit by pressing the
Source Buttons (like DVD, SAT, CD) directly. The
default surround modes for different components are
as table below.
If you decide to change the surround mode, you can
press the SURR MODE repeatedly to toggle among
the different surround mode choices and select the
one you want.
Dolby Digital/Pro Logic 3 Stereo Stereo
The receiver will keep the last selection in memory.
Input Signal Setting
The receiver defaults to the most convenient settings
for your easiest use (see table).
If your connection is different from the default set-
ting,
1. Select the source
2. Press FUNCTION
3. Rotate MULTI JOG to toggle among optical/ coaxi-
al/ analog to match your connection. Your selection
will be stored automatically.
Every time you press the source button, the input set-
ting (e.g. DVD/ OPTI) will be shown on display for a
few seconds.
