It will explain the features and operation of your unit and help ensure a trouble free installation. [. . . ] When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers. We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp. Notes : When using a conventional TV , to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center speakers. To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers. 1. Surround left speaker Surround speaker Surround back speaker Point slightly downward Front speaker 60 to 90 cm 23 ENGLISH Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows : ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND ENGLISH Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer. Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer. Note: Before surround playback, first perform the SPEAKER SETUP procedure, etc. on the OSD menu for optimum performance. (For details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP" on page 38. ) Depending on the input digital signal format, select the desired decoding mode. You can select the "DTS", "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "PCM" mode directly on the remote control. Each time the DECODING MODE button on the front panel or the AUTO button on the remote control is pressed, the decoding mode changes as follows : * Auto mode(" AUTO" lights up) : The input digital signal format (DTS, Dolby Digital, MPEG or PCM ( 2 channel stereo), etc. ) used by the selected digital input source is detected automatically to perform the necessary decoding process for optimum surround modes. * Dolby Digital mode("DOLBY DIGITAL" lights up) : The Dolby Digital signal processing is performed only when Dolby Digital signals are input. * DTS mode(" DTS" lights up) : The DTS signal processing is performed only when DTS signals are input. * MPEG mode("MPEG" lights up) : The MPEG signal processing is performed only when MPEG signals are input. * PCM mode("PCM" lights up) : The PCM signal processing is performed only when PCM signals are input.

Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the auto mode. To minimize this possibility try playing in the DTS mode. 2 Select the desired surround mode. MULTI CONTROL PAGE MAIN FAV CH/ SET or VOL MUTE CH DSP AUTO DSP 7. 1 SURR RETURN Each time the MULTI CONTROL knob is rotated or the DSP MODE button is pressed, the surround mode changes depending on the input signal format and the selected decoding mode as follows : * When Dolby Digital signals are input in the auto or Dolby Digital mode, the following modes can be selected. 1 4 7 2 5 8 0 3 6 9 DISC ROOM 2 ENT DISP STEREO MI M2 M3 RNC-500 DOLBY DIGITAL ( DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MOVIE DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MUSIC DOLBY PRO LOGIC) DOLBY VIRTUAL Only when Dolby Digital 2. 0 channel signals are input, the surround modes in ( ) can be selected, too. * When PCM (2 channel stereo) signals are input in the auto or PCM mode, the following modes can be selected.

However, when DTS or MPEG signals are input in the following decoding modes, the corresponding surround mode will be automatically selected regardless of using the MULTI CONTROL knob or DSP MODE button: * When DTS signals are input in the auto or DTS mode, the corresponding DTS mode will be selected. * When MPEG signals are input in the auto or MPEG mode, MPEG mode will be selected. Notes: When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input flickers, meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.
