FM Indoor Antenna  
In an area with strong FM signals, the T-type FM antenna  
provided with this unit is sufficient.  
Extend the antenna into a “T” shape and connect the two  
wires at the base of the “T” to the provided matching  
transformer, as shown.  
After completing connection, plug the transformer into the  
“FM 75” socket. Extend the top of the “T” and tune the  
tuner to your favorite station (see page 31). Adjust the  
antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall  
until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that  
position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other  
suitable means.  
B
FM Outdoor Antenna  
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary  
to use an 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna.  
Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you  
live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak,  
it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.  
B
•Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor  
antenna.

Connection (AM antenna)  
AM Indoor Loop Antenna  
The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this  
unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.  
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the  
slot in the antenna base.  
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna  
terminals.  
How to connect:  
Press the lever, insert the end of the cord, then release  
the lever. Make sure it is fastened securely by pulling the  
cord lightly. Make sure only the bare, stripped wire is  
inserted in the jack and that no plastic insulation is  
preventing contact between the antenna wire and  
terminal.  
AM Outdoor Antenna  
Antenne AM extérieure  
Antena exterior AM  
Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window  
frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception.  
Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires  
or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the  
antenna.  
AM Loop Antenna  
Antenne-cadre AM intérieure  
Antena de cuadro de AM interior  
• If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient  
reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter  
or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use  
an outdoor AM antenna.  
Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not  
available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one  
end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.  
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors  
near a window. For better reception, connect the GND  
terminal to a reliable ground.  
Note:  
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not  
disconnect the AM loop antenna.

Surround Mode 3  
Surround Mode 4  
DTS (DTS Digital Surround)  
DTS NEO:6  
During playback of a DVD disc recorded in DTS format, the  
surround mode is set to DTS automatically.  
With the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-  
ES Matrix 6.1, DTS NEO:6 gives you 6.1 multi-channel  
surround sound from any stereo source.  
DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 5.1 channels with lower  
audio compression than Dolby Digital. It provides the clarity  
and dynamics of the original master soundtrack.  
• DTS NEO:6 will not work on monaural source.  
DTS NEO:6 Cinema  
This mode is optimized for movies.  
Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation  
performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-  
channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.  
DTS-ES (Extended Surround)  
This is a new multi channel digital signal format that greatly  
improves the 360-degree surround impression and space  
expression thanks to further expanded surround signals.  
This format is compatible with the conventional DTS format.  
In addition to the 5.1 channels of DTS, DTS-ES also offers  
the surround back (sometimes also referred to as “surround  
center”) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1  
channels. For the optimum playback of DTS-ES, you need  
6 speakers and a powered sub-woofer.  
DTS NEO:6 Music  
This mode is suitable for music.  
The front left and front right signals bypass the decoder and  
are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and  
the effect of the surround signals from the center, surround  
left, surround right and surround back channels adds a  
natural sense of expansion to the sound field.  
• The surround back channel information is matrixed into the  
surround left and right channels. When played with 5  
speakers, the surround back channel signals are output  
from the surround left and right speakers so that none of  
the signal components are lost.  
Dolby Digital  
During playback of a DVD disc recorded in DOLBY  
DIGITAL format, the surround mode is set to DOLBY  
DIGITAL or DOLBY DIGITAL EX automatically.  
There are two formats for DTS-ES:  
Dolby Digital delivers up to 5 totally discrete, full frequency  
audio channels (front left and right, center, and surround left  
and right), plus 0.1 channel called LFE (Low-Frequency  
Effects). LFE delivers a separate non-directional bass  
signal to the sub-woofer for more dynamic deep bass sound  
effects.  
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1  
Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the  
surround back channel) are fully independent, it is possible  
to achieve a sense that the acoustic image are moving  
about freely among the background sounds surrounding the  
listener from 360 degrees.  
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1  
Dolby Digital Surround EX  
With this format, the additional surround back channel  
signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the  
surround left and surround right channels beforehand.  
During playback, they are decoded to the surround left,  
surround right and surround back channels.  
This mode creates the back (sometimes also referred to as  
“surround center”) signals from the surround left and right  
signals in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel source using a matrix  
decoder and provides 6.1 channel surround playback. With  
this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic  
and realistic moving sound.  
When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are  
decoded with a DTS-ES decoder, the format is  
automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum  
surround mode is selected.  
• As the surround back channel is matrix-encoded onto the  
left and right surround channels, no information is lost when  
played with 5 speakers.  
• When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby  
Digital EX decoder, the format is automatically detected  
upon decoding and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected.  
However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected  
as Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX  
mode should be selected manually to play these sources.

Surround Mode 5  
Surround Mode 6  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic II  
THEATER  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology processes any native stereo  
or 5.1 signal into a 6.1- or 7.1-channel output, creating a  
seamless, natural surround soundfield that immerses you in  
the entertainment experience.  
This mode provides a three dimensional surround effect  
similar to that of movie theater.  
HALL  
This mode is suitable for orchestral music such as classical  
music or opera.  
Dolby Pro Logic II technology gives you 5.1-channel  
surround sound from any stereo program material, as well  
as Dolby Surround encoded material.  
STADIUM  
• When the surround back speaker is set to “None”, Dolby  
Pro Logic II appears instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve  
the true stadium effect when watching baseball or  
soccer games.  
MOVIE mode:  
This mode is optimized for movies or Dolby Surround  
encoded materials. This mode is also appropriate for use  
with video games.  
MUSIC mode:  
The Music mode creates a rich and enveloping surround  
ambience from stereo sources such as music CDs.  
Music mode also features three additional user controls:  
Dolby Center Width adjusts the balance of the main  
vocals in the center and front channels.  
Dolby Panorama creates a seamless, wraparound  
surround effect.  
Dolby Dimension creates a deeper or shallower surround  
sound field.  
• DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx and DOLBY PRO LOGIC II will not  
work on monaural source.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Pro Logic is a matrix decoder that decodes the four  
channels of surround sound (front left, center, front right  
and surround) that have been encoded onto the stereo  
soundtracks of Dolby Surround encoded material such as  
VHS movies. The surround channel is monaural, but is  
played through two surround speakers.  
Dolby Virtual  
This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to  
create the illusion of "phantom" speaker, this mode allows  
you to experience surround sound effects from Dolby  
Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel (recorded in digital  
PCM or analog stereo) source, through just a single pair of  
front speakers.
