REMOTECONTROL

You can identify t he universal remote control by theinscription Multibrand/Universal.

The universal remote control m ust be programmed to use thecodes for your appliances of dif ferent brands. This is done bykeying in a 4-digit code or by scanning the codes until thecorrect one is found. We recommend to using the 4-digitcode. This method is faster and more reliable. The codescanning method should be used only if you cannot find t hecode for one of your appliances. The codes are listed at theend of this book.

To program a new appliance, simply overw rite theold code by entering a new one.

Scanning the codetable1 Switch on the appliance which should be controlled.

2 Keep the source button f or the appliance w hich should becontrolled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.

3 Press and release 2 again.yThe remote control sends the codes for channel up or

CONNECTIONS

Digital audio connections

Analog audio connections

There are analog and digital connectors available on someappliances. If possible use the digital connection; usually thiswill result in better sound quality. See Reassigning a source

selection on how to use the digital connectors of the receiver.

Because of a diff erent kind of output signal, the use of DolbyDigital Laserdisc requires an optional AC-3 RF demodulator.

DTS Digital SurroundTM is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audioformat available on CD, LD, and DVD softw are w hich

consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside mostCD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encodedsoftw are is played back through the analog outputs of t he CD,

LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoidpossible damage to the audio system, proper precautionsshould be taken by the customer if the analog outputs areconnected directly to the receiver.Only for FR975: To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTM playback,a DTS-compatible player has to be connected to one of t hedigital i nputs of t he receiver.

General hints for positioningAvoid positioning t he speakers in a corner or on the floor asthis w ill boost the bass tones too much. Placing the speakersbehind curtains, furniture, etc. w ill reduce the trebleresponse. The listener should alw ays be able to see t hespeakers.

Each room has diff erent acoustic characteristics and thepositioning possibilities oft en are limited. You can find thebest position f or your speakers by referring to the pict ureabove.

As a mi nimum w e recommend 5 speakers (2 front, a center,2 surround) for good surround sound. It is possible toreproduce some kind of surround sound wit h few er speakers.This is done by redirecting t he signals w hich are foreseen forthe missing speakers to the existing ones. See Menus o nhow to set up the receiver correctly for the num ber and size

of t he speakers used.

Positioning the front speakersThe front speakers should be placed to the right and left infront of t he listening position like usual stereo speakers.

Positioning the center speakerThe center speaker should be placed in the center bet w eenthe tw o front speakers, e. g. underneath or on top of the TV.The best height f or the center speaker is the height of thelistener s ears (while seated).

Positioning the surround speakersThe surround speakers should face each other and be in linewith, or slightly behind the listener.

Positioning the subwooferA subw oofer can be used to enhance the bass performance ofyour system dramat ically. The subw oofer can be positionedanyw here in the room, because it is not possible to locate thesource of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place t hesubw oofer in the middle of a room, since the bass could beseverely weakened. Do not place any object on t hesubwoofer.

Once the number and position of loudspeakers has beenfixed, you can adjust the init ial receiver settings for optimalsurround sound with the actual setup:

1 Set w hich speakers have been connected to the receiver(see M enu structure/* SPEAKR SETUP ).

Note: The initial sett ing of your receiver is:tw o front speakers left and right: present (cannot bealtered)center speaker: presenttw o rear speakers: presentsubwoofer: present.

2 Select t he size of t he speakers (SM ALL or LARGE)(see M enu structure/* SPEAKR SIZES ).Select SMALL if your speaker is able to reproduce low notesdown t o at least 80100 Hz. Select LARGE if your speakeris able to reproduce low notes down to at least 50 Hz. (As arule of thumb, a LARGE speaker has a cone diameter of atleast 12 cms (5 inches).) See the specification sheet s of yourloudspeakers.

3 Set the distance from t he speakers to the list eners position(see M enu structure/* SPK DISTANCE ).

Note: If you prefer t hat your receiver does not correctautomatically for speaker sizes and distances, you can

re-progam it to a neutral setting by i nstalling all speakers: (Subw oofer present, Center

and Rear loudspeakers: all YES), setting Front, Center and Rear speaker sizes to

LARGE, setting all l oudspeaker distances (L/ R, Center and

Rear) to the same distance (e.g. 10 ft).

The relative volume of t he speakers must be adjusted foroptimal surround sound. You should be at your usual listeningposition w hen adjusting the speaker volume. See Receiver

menus on how to unit up t he receiver for the used speakers.Ideally, the volume in the list ening position should be thesame from all speakers.

1 Press POWER / STANDBY to switch on the receiver.

2 Press TEST TONE on t he rem ote control .y A test tone coming from t he different speakers, except

the subw oofer, is heard.

3 Press +/ - REAR on the remot e control t oincrease/decrease the volume of the actual speaker. Thebest result is achieved w hen all speakers have equal

volume in the listening position.

4 Press TEST TONE on t he rem ote control .y The test tone stops.

Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volumesettings, we recommend making minor adjustments tothem during surround sound playback.

If the receiver is used at very high pow er it can producedistortions w hich may damage your speakers seriously. Ifdistortions occur, reduce the volume and the t one controls to

a level w here the sound is acceptable again.

To avoid overheating of the unit a safety circuit hasbeen built in. Therefore your set may disconnect underex treme conditions. If this happens, sw itch the unit offand let it cool dow n before reusing it.

Connecting headphones to PHONES w ill sw itch off t hespeakers. The receiver swi tches to STEREO and surroundsound wi ll be reduced to a stereo signal w hich is reproducibleby standard headphones.

Disconnecting t he headphones swit ches on the speakersagain. If you wish t o enjoy surround sound again, sw itch thereceiver back to surround sound.

Clean the receiver w ith a soft,slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Donot use any cleaning agents as theymay have a corrosive effect.

Do not expose the receiver tohumidity, rain, sand or excessive heat(caused by heating equipment ordirect sunlight).

SUBWOOFER (supplied with MX packages only)

Install the subwoofer wherever you like because with thebass sound range reproduced from the subw oofer (below150Hz) human hearing cannot detect the direction andposition w here the sound is being produced.

Also, since the feeling of stereo is lost with bass

frequencies, a single subwoofer is enough f or reproducingthe bass of stereo channels.

To obtain a bet ter bass reproduction, we recommend thatyou place the subwoofer on a solid f loor w here resonanceis unlikely to occur.

Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping a fewcentimeters away from the w all .

Do not place any object on the subw oofer or sit on it.

If the subw oofer is placed in the center of a room, the basscould be extremely w eakened. This is due to the influenceof the standing w ave of the room. If this happens, move thesubwoofer away from the center of the room or eliminate

the cause of the standing w ave by installing a bookshelf onthe w all , etc.

Important!Before you operate the subwoofer, complete the preparationprocedures. Sw itch on your receiver and select t he soundsource.

The type plate is loca ted on the rea r of the subw oofer.

1 Use the cinch cable supplied to connect AUDIO IN toSUBW OOFER PRE-OUT at th e rece iver.

2 Check whether the power voltage as shown on the typeplate corresponds to your local pow er voltage. If it doesnot, consult your dealer or service organization.

3 Aft er all connections have been made, connect theAC power cord to the receiver or the wall out let.

To disconnect the subwoof er from the pow er completely,remove the power plug from the w all out let.

Rotate VOLUM E clockwise unt il t here is a click.y The LED indicator lights up in green.

Rotate VOLUM E anticlockw ise until there is a click.y The LED indicator light turns red.

You can adjust the subw oofer to suit t he sound level of yourfront speakers. Reinforcing the bass sound gives you agreater sense of atmosphere.

1 Adjust t he VOLUM E on the receiver until the sound fromthe front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, thesound from the subwoofer will also be distorted.

2 Play your favourite songs. M ale vocal tunes containing basssounds are most suitable for adjustment.

3 Adjust the VOLUM E on the subwoof er to determine theloudness of the bass sound from the subwoof er.

Use PHASE SELECTOR locat edat the rear of the subwoofer toselect the phase polarity.

Selecting the polarity at either 0 or 180 may determinebetter bass reproduction eff ect in certain li steningenvironments (depending on the type of front speakers and theposition of t he subwoofer). It may also change the expanseand tightness of sound, and affect the feeling of sound field.

Select the setting t hat provides the sound you prefer w henlistening in your usual listening position. Repeat t headjustment f or volume and phase polarity to suit yourpreference.

Once you have adjusted the subwoofer t o the settings you

desire, use the VOLUM E control on the receiver to adjust thevolume of t he subw oofer and the ot her speakers. You do notneed to adjust the subwoofer settings again even when youchange the volume l evel of t he receiver.
