LAST FUNCTION MEMORY

• This unit is equipped with a last function memory which stores the input and output setting conditions as they
were immediately before the power is switched off.
• The unit is also equipped with a back-up memory. This function provides approximately one week of memory
storage when the main unit's power operation switch is off and with the power cord disconnected.

INITIALIZATION OF THE MICROPROCESSOR

When the indication of the display is not normal or when the operation of the unit does not shows the reasonable
result, the initialization of the microprocessor is required by the following procedure.
1
Switch off the unit using the main unit's power
operation switch.
2
Hold the following SPEAKER A button and B
button, and turn the main unit's power
operation switch on.
3
Check that the entire display is flashing with an
interval of about 1 second, and release your
fingers from the 2 buttons and
microprocessor will be initialized.
NOTES:
• If step 3 does not work, start over from step 1.
• If the microprocessor has been reset, all the button settings are reset to the default values (the values set
upon shipment from the factory).
Turning on the main unit's power from the standby mode without using the remote control unit
• Press the power switch on the main unit while pressing the INPUT MODE button on the main unit's panel

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Speaker setting examples
Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up
your system according to the type of speakers used and the main usage purpose.
(1) Basic setting
Use this setting if your main purpose is to listen to movie music and when using one set (two speakers) of
regular single-way or two-way speakers as the surround speakers.
• Set the front speakers with their front
Front speakers
Center speaker
surfaces as flush with the TV or monitor
screen as possible. Set the center
Monitor speaker between the front left and right
Subwoofer
speakers and no further from the
60°
listening position than the front speakers.
• Consult the owner's manual for your
subwoofer for advice on placing the
subwoofer within the listening room.
• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place them
slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to the
120°
walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at the
Surround speakers
prime listening position.
As seen from above
(2) Using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers
For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or
dipolar types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker
(monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.
Path of the surround sound
from the speakers to the
listening position
• Set the front speakers, center speaker
and subwoofer in the same positions as
in example (1).
• Set the surround speakers directly at the
sides of the listening position and 60 to
90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear
level.
• The signals from the surround channels
reflect off the walls as shown on the diagram at the left, creating an
enveloping and realistic surround sound presentation.
