Set up and Maintenance of the Receiver
IMPORTANT NOTE
• Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as indicated
below. If the space is insufficient, the unit may over-
heat resulting in malfunction and shorter life time.• Do not connect to the AC power cords until all
connections are completed.
• Do not use your set immediately after transferring
it from a cold place to a warm place: there is risk of
condensation.
• Do not expose your set to water and excessively
high temperatures.
• After having disconnected your set, clean the case
with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp leather
chamois. Never use strong solvents.
Protect your Components from
Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any component.
Arrange the components so that air can circulate
freely.
• Do not stack components directly on top of each
other.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand
so heated air rising from it will not affect other com-
ponents. If you have a satellite receiver, you should
place it on the top shelf.

DIGITAL CONNECTIONIf you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make
use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to
carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical
or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When
optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording
through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial
digital input for the connection of your components. Please connect your components
(e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to
select the corresponding digital input source.
Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video
connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video
provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow
RCA connector) can also be used. It is
important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the
Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home
Theater.
FRONT TERMINALRemark: If you have a video camera,
video game machine, or an extra
VCR, connect it to VAUX input at the
front of the receiver
DIGITAL INPUTConnect components
capable of outputing Dolby
Digital (e.g. DVD or SAT) or
standard PCM (CD) format
digital signals. Read section
on Input Signal Setting
under Advanced Sound
Control carefully to adjust
the matching input settings.
If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred.
What you need is just one more optical digital connecting cable (not supplied). Plug it in
the digital input jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the receiver setting (see
details on pg 20 chapter Input Signal Setting). You can enjoy better sound quality
brought to you by the optical cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still
needed for recording to tape output.
S-VIDEOIf your video component has a S-Video jack
included, you can make use of it to enjoy
enhanced video quality by connecting it to the
relevant S-Video jack at the rear side of the
receiver. One S-video cable is needed for each
component. When S-Video cable is used,
composite video (yellow RCA connector) cable
must also be connected for VCR recording.
Note: Before plugging in the optical cable or
S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of
the plug and jack, otherwise, you will not be able to
plug in completely.

Getting Started Connecting the Speakers Speakers There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects, all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver. At least two front speakers (left and right) are required. For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response. If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal. Speaker wires 1 for each speaker, is needed for connection. Twist the stripped ends of speaker cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal. To ease speaker connections, the speaker wires and the terminals are color-coded. • White/Black (Front Left Speaker), • Red/Black (Front Right Speaker), • Green/Black (Center Speaker) • Blue/Black (Rear Left Speaker). • Grey/Black (Rear Right Speaker). • Purple/Black (Subwoofer) Connect the L, R speakers at the back of the speakers to the corresponding color on the receiver. Do the same for center (with green/black terminal), rear speaker and the subwoofer (with purple/black termi- nal). Speaker Polarity When connecting the speakers, make sure the polari- ties (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass (“out of phase” effect). Connecting the Subwoofer Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (pur- ple/ black) provided. This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more information please refer to section “Fine Setting of the Speakers” in “Advanced Sound Control” on page 21. 6 SUB WOOFER SPEAKER LEFT+-RIGHT+- SUB WOOFER +- FRONTUse this jack on the left back panel to connect another active subwoofer other than the one supplied.

Getting Started Positioning your speaker 1 Left, Right (Front Speakers) They carry primarily music and sound effects 2 Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers. 3 Surround (Rear Speakers) Their overall sound balance should be as close as pos- sible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. It is therefore recommend- ed to connect subwoofers when small speakers are used. Magnetic shielding Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provid- ed with DPL660HT are magnetically shielded to pro- tect your TV set. It is not recommended to place the rear speakers near the TV set. Front Speaker Placement Even if you cant duplicate this ideal home theater setup exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement that follow will help you get good results. Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead of them. Advanced Setting Angle Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45- degree angle with your favorite viewing position will duplicate the soundtrack mixers perspective. Height The three speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the cen- ter speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.
