Customizing your receiver
Change the settings to suit your speakers and equipment and to suit the environment in which the unit is to be used. Before making any changes, read the following descriptions, note the factory settings and ranges, and refer to the instructions for the speakers and equipment. FRONT SUB-WFR CENTER SURROUND LARGE SMALL FRONT CENTER, SURROUND NONE SMALL LARGE YES SUB-WFR NO The settings remain intact until they are changed, even after the power is turned off.

Setting descriptions SIZE
Change to suit the speakers you have connected. LARGE: For speakers that can reproduce a full sound range, particularly the bass range below 100 Hz. SMALL: For speakers that cannot adequately reproduce the bass range. This setting is sufficient for most speakers if you are using a subwoofer. NONE: For speakers you haven't connected (center or surround). The factory settings are: Front: LARGE Center and surround: SMALL For the subwoofer, select YES if you have connected one (factory setting), or NO if you have not.

DSP sound modes
DSP SOUND MODE DIGITAL INPUT The digital sound processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby Digital and DTS digital signals. It automatically determines the type of signal, PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS, and processes it accordingly. The DSP can add surround-like effects to stereo sources (analogue or PCM signals). Choose from the STEREO, SURROUND, or SFC modes. The DSP may interfere with radio reception. You can turn it off if this occurs (\ page 22). Output is in stereo when you turn the DSP off so sound is only heard through the front speakers. Note

DSP SOUND MODE

¡PCM with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz is the digital signal format normally found on CDs. Some DVDs also use this format but often with a higher sampling rate. ¡This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and 192 kHz and MPEG.

Common problems
No power. ¡Ensure the AC mains lead is connected. ¡Turn the volume up. ¡Turn muting off. ¡Check connections to speakers and other equipment. ¡Turn on the speakers. ¡Turn off the tape monitor. ¡Select the correct source. ¡Change the DIGITAL input setting to suit the type of connection you have made. ¡Check that the digital signals can be decoded by this unit. ¡Turn PCM FIX or DTS FIX off. ¡Cancel "DSP DEFEAT". ¡Switch off the unit, determine and correct the cause, then switch the unit on. Causes include shorting of the positive and negative speaker wires, using speakers with an impedance lower than rated for this unit, straining of the speakers through excessive volume or power, and using the unit in a hot environment. ¡Use speakers with the right impedance rating. ¡Turn the unit off, disconnect the AC mains lead, then reconnect and turn the unit on. Consult your dealer if "F 70" remains on the display. ¡Change the television's input mode to suit the connections between this unit and the television.
