Connections Preparations
Notes:
– If the audio format of the digital input does not match
the capabilities of your Receiver, it will produce a strong
distorted sound or no sound at all
– Always refer to the instruction manual of the connected
equipment to make an optimal connection
Recording from the digital output
It is possible to connect a digital recorder to the digital
output of the receiver. In this way, all signals coming from
the digital inputs can be recorded directly on the connected
audio recorder.
The receiver can be used to record digital sound audio
signal from DVD to CD-R.
Notes:
– Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG signal are not possible to
record from this receiver.
– Digital recording is not possible when the digital source
material is copy-protected.
– Even when other source(TV/AV, DISC 6CH, TUNER or
AUX) is selected, all signals coming from the digital input(Coaxial
or Optical) will be continuously recorded on the connected
audio recorder.

Setting up the surround sound
system
You must connect all the speakers and set up the system
properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at
home (refer to “Connections - Connecting the speakers”).
You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action
because sound is coming from everywhere around you. The
subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your
system dramatically.
IMPORTANT!
Please sit at your usual listening position in order to
set up the speaker balance correctly.
Placing the speakers
To obtain the best surround effect, place the speaker as
follows.
1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances
from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees
from the listening position.
2 Place the center speaker above or below the TV, so the
center channel’s sound is localized.
3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level
facing each other or mounted on the wall.
4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near to the TV.
Notes:
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front
speakers too close to your TV.
– If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away from
the listening position than the front and center speakers, it will
weaken the surround effect.
– All speakers should be securely installed to prevent accidents
and improve sound quality.
Switching on the system
1 After completing all the connections, connect the AC power
cord of the Receiver to the wall outlet. The system will go
into STANDBY mode.
2 Press STANDBY ON to switch on the last selected
source.
3 Rotate the SOURCE button or press TV/AV, DISC ,
TUNER or AUX on the remote control to select the
input source.
➜ The selected source will be displayed.
