Connections / Analog Audio Connections
Please read the following text as additional to the text on page 11:
DTS Digital Surround TM is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot
be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the
analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper pre-
cautions should be taken by the customer if the analog outputs are connected directly to the receiver.
Only for FR975 and MX980D: To enjoy DTS Digital Surround
inputs of the receiver.
System Setup
Please read the following new chapter after the "Positioning the Speakers" chapter in this section:
Receiver Adjustment
Once the number and position of loudspeakers has been fixed, you can adjust the initial receiver settings for optimal surround sound with
the actual setup:
1 Set what speakers have been connected to the receiver (see "Menus / Speaker Setup" on page 17).
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
two front speakers left and right: present (cannot be altered)
center speaker: present
two rear speakers: present
subwoofer: present
2 Select the size of the speakers (SMALL or LARGE) (see "Menus: Speaker Sizes" on page 17).
Select SMALL if your speaker is able to reproduce low notes down to at least 80–100 Hz.
Select LARGE if your speaker is able to reproduce low notes down to at least 50 Hz.
(As a rule of thumb, a LARGE speaker has a cone diameter of at least 12 cms (5 inches).)
See the specification sheets of your loudspeakers.
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
FR965 and MX960D:
FR975 and MX980D:
3 Set the distance from the speakers to the listener's position (see "Menus: Speaker Distance" on page 17).
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
FR965 and MX960D:
FR975 and MX980D:
General note: If you prefer that your receiver does not correct automatically for speaker sizes and distances, you can re-progam it to a
neutral setting by:
Install all speakers: (Subwoofer present, Center and Rear loudspeakers: all YES)
Set Front, Center and Rear speaker sizes to LARGE
Set all loudspeaker distances (L/R, Center and Rear) to the same distance (e.g. 10ft).
Subwoofer / Adjustment
Please read the following as text addition to Point 3:
Turn SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROL to adjust the volume of the subwoofer. The recommended adjustment is the middle position.
