Examples of poor conditions of thespeaker cord

Stripped speaker cord is touching anotherspeaker terminal.

Stripped cords are touching each otherdue to excessive removal of insulation.

Stripped cords are not fully attached andare touching the rear panel of the receiver.

After connecting all the components,speakers, and AC power cord, outputa test tone to check that all thespeakers are connected correctly.For details on outputting a test tone,see page 19.

If no sound is heard from a speaker whileoutputting a test tone or a test tone is outputfrom a speaker other than the one whose nameis currently displayed on the receiver, thespeaker may be short-circuited. If this happens,check the speaker connection again.

TipTo prevent speaker vibration or movement whilelistening, attach the supplied foot pads at the bottomof the speakers.

Notes• Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the

surround speaker terminals and the short speakerconnecting cords to the front and center speakerterminals.

• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about2/3 inch. Be sure to match the speaker cord to theappropriate terminal on the components: + to + and– to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will bedistorted and will lack bass.

• If you use speakers with low maximum input rating,adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessiveoutput on the speakers.

To avoid short-circuiting thespeakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damagethe receiver. To prevent this, make sure to takethe following precautions when connecting thespeakers.

Make sure the stripped ends of eachspeaker cord does not touch anotherspeaker terminal, the stripped end ofanother speaker cord, or the metal parts ofthe receiver.

To avoid damaging yourspeakers

Make sure that you turn down the volumebefore you turn off the receiver. When you turnon the receiver, the volume remains at the levelyou turn off the receiver.

Performing initial setupoperations

Once you have hooked up the speakers andturned on the power, clear the receiver’smemory. Then specify the speaker parameters(size, position, etc.) and perform any otherinitial setup operations necessary for yoursystem.

TipTo check the audio output during settings (to set upwhile outputting the sound), check the connection(page 20).

Clearing the receiver’smemory

Before using your receiver for the first time, orwhen you want to clear the receiver’s memory,do the following.

1 Turn off the receiver.

2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.“INITIAL” appears in the display.The following are reset to their factorysettings.

• All settings in the SET UP, LEVEL andTONE menus.

• The sound field memorized for eachinput selector and preset station.

• All sound field parameters.• All preset stations.• All index names of input selectors and

preset stations.• The master volume is set to “VOL

MIN”.

Performing initial setupoperations

Before using your receiver for the first time,adjust SET UP parameters so that the receivercorrespond to your system. For the adjustableparameters, see the table on page 46. See pages15–19 for speaker settings and page 33 forother settings.

Multi channel surroundsetup

For the best possible surround sound, allspeakers should be the same distance from thelistening position (A).

However, the receiver lets you place the centerspeaker up to 5 feet closer (B) and thesurround speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) tothe listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 23feet from the listening position (A).

You can place the surround speakers eitherbehind you or to the side, depending on theshape of your room (etc.). However, werecommend that you place the surroundspeakers behind you.

x Front speaker distance ( L R DIST.XX ft.)

Set the distance from your listening position tothe front speakers (A on page 15).

x Center speaker distance ( C DIST.XX ft.)

Set the distance from your listening position tothe center speaker. Center speaker distanceshould be set from a distance equal to the frontspeaker distance (A on page 15) to a distance5 feet closer to your listening position (B onpage 15).

x Surround speaker distance ( SL SR

DIST. XX ft.)Set the distance from your listening position tothe surround speakers. Surround speakerdistance should be set from a distance equal tothe front speaker distance (A on page 15) to adistance 15 feet closer to your listeningposition (C on page 15).

TipThe receiver allows you to input the speaker positionin terms of distance. However, it is not possible to setthe center speaker further than the front speakers.Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than5 feet closer than the front speakers.Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set furtheraway from the listening position than the frontspeakers. And they can be no more than 15 feetcloser.This is because incorrect speaker placement is notconducive to enjoy surround sound.Please note that, setting the speaker distance closerthan the actual location of the speakers will cause adelay in the output of the sound from that speaker. Inother words, the speaker will sound like it is furtheraway.

For example, setting the center speaker distance3~6 feet closer than the actual speaker position willcreate a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” thescreen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surroundeffect because the surround speakers are too close,setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter)than the actual distance will create a larger soundstage.Adjusting these parameter while listening to thesound often results in much better surround sound.Give it a try!

x Surround speaker placement ( SL SR

PL. XXXX)*This parameter lets you specify the height ofyour surround speakers for properimplementation of the Digital Cinema Soundsurround modes. Refer to the illustration below.

• Select “PL. LOW” if the location of yoursurround speakers corresponds to section A.

• Select “PL. HIGH” if the location of yoursurround speakers corresponds to section B.

* These parameters are not available when“Surround speaker size ( SL SR )” is set to “NO”.

HT-DDW650 4-244-183-71(1) US


TipThe surround speaker placement parameter isdesigned specifically for implementation of theDigital Cinema Sound modes with virtual elements.With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speakerplacement is not as critical as other modes. All modeswith virtual elements were designed under thepremise that the surround speaker would be locatedbehind the listening position, but presentation remainsfairly consistent even with the surround speakerspositioned at a rather wide angle. However, if thespeakers are pointing towards the listener from theimmediate left and right of the listening position, thesound fields with virtual elements will not be aseffective.Nevertheless, each listening environment has manyvariables, like wall reflections.Therefore, we recommend that you playback multichannel surround encoded software and listen to theeffect each setting has on your listening environment.Choose the setting that provides a good sense ofspaciousness and that best succeeds in forming acohesive space between the surround sound from thesurround speakers and the sound of the frontspeakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select“PL. LOW” and then use the speaker distanceparameter and speaker level adjustments to obtainproper balance.

Only when you use the speaker systemother than the supplied one, be sure toset the following parameters.For details on “NORM. SP.” (Normal Speaker), seepage 16.

x Sub woofer selection ( SW S.W. XXX)

• If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.

• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select“NO”. This activates the bass redirectioncircuitry and outputs the LFE signals from otherspeakers.

x Front speaker size ( L R XXXXX)• If you connect large speakers that will

effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.

• If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack ofsurround effects when using multi channelsurround sound, select “SMALL” to activatethe bass redirection circuitry and output thefront channel bass frequencies from the subwoofer.

• When the front speakers are set to “SMALL”,the center and surround speakers are alsoautomatically set to “SMALL” (unlesspreviously set to “NO”).

• When the sub woofer is set to “NO”, the frontspeakers are automatically set to “LARGE” andyou cannot change this setting.

x Center speaker size ( C XXXXX)

• If you connect a large speaker that willeffectively reproduce bass frequencies, select“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.However, if the front speakers are set to“SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker to“LARGE”.

• If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack ofsurround effects when using multi channelsurround sound, select “SMALL” to activatethe bass redirection circuitry and output thecenter channel bass frequencies from the frontspeakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.*1

Tip*1–*3 correspond to the following Dolby Pro Logicmodes*1 NORMAL*2 PHANTOM*3 3 STEREO

TipInternally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for eachspeaker determine whether the internal soundprocessor will cut the bass signal from that channel.When the bass is cut from a channel, the bassredirection circuitry sends the corresponding bassfrequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE”speakers.However, since bass sounds have a certain amount ofdirectionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible.Therefore, even when using small speakers, you canset them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bassfrequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, ifyou are using a large speaker, but prefer not to havebass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to“SMALL”.If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, setall speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass,you can use the BASS parameter in the TONE menuto boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass, see page28.

Adjusting the speaker level

Use the remote while seated in your listeningposition to adjust the level of each speaker.

NoteThe receiver incorporates a new test tone with afrequency centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker leveladjustment.

1 Press ?/1 on the remote to turn on thereceiver.

2 Press T.TONE on the remote.“T. TONE” appears in the display and youwill hear the test tone from each speaker insequence.Front (left) t Center t Front (right) tSurround (right) t Surround (left) tSub woofer

3 Adjust the speaker level and balanceusing the LEVEL menu so that the levelof the test tone sounds the same fromeach speaker.For details on the LEVEL menu, see page27.While adjusting, the test tone is output fromthe speaker whose adjustment is performed.

4 Press T.TONE again to turn off the testtone.

TipYou can adjust the level of all speakers at the sametime. Press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote or turnMASTER VOLUME on the receiver.

Notes• The adjusted value are shown in the display during

adjustment.• Although these adjustments can also be made via

the front panel using the LEVEL menu (when thetest tone is output, the receiver switches to theLEVEL menu automatically), we recommend youfollow the procedure described above and adjust thespeaker levels from your listening position using theremote.

Decoding the input audiosignal automatically

Press A.F.D. repeatedly to select “A.F.D.AUTO”.The A.F.D. indicator lights up.

This mode automatically detects the type ofaudio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS,or standard 2 channel stereo) and performs theproper decoding if necessary. This modepresents the sound as it was recorded/encoded,without adding any effects (e.g. reverberation).

However, if there are no low frequency signals(Dolby Digital LFE, etc.) it will generate a lowfrequency signal for output to the sub woofer.

You can take advantage of surround soundsimply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programmed sound fields. They bring theexciting and powerful sound of movie theatersand concert halls into your home. You can alsocustomize the sound fields to obtain the soundyou want by changing the surround parameter.To fully enjoy surround sound, you mustregister the number and location of yourspeakers. See “Multi channel surround setup”starting from page 15 to set the speakerparameters before enjoying surround sound.

Using only the frontspeakers (2 Channel Stereo)

Press 2CH.The 2CH indicator lights up and “2CH ST.”appears in the display.

This mode outputs the sound from the front leftand right speakers only. Standard 2 channel(stereo) sources completely bypass the soundfield processing. Multi channel surroundformats are downmixed to 2 channel.

Notes• No sound is output from the sub woofer when

“2CH ST.” is selected. To listen to 2 channel(stereo) sources using the front left and rightspeakers and a sub woofer, press A.F.D. repeatedlyto select “A.F.D. AUTO”.

• When you select “Micro Satellite Speaker” (page16), internal sound processor will automaticallyredirect bass sound to sub woofer. If you want tolisten to two channel (stereo) sources under thissetting, we recommend that you choose“A.F.D. AUTO” mode so that you can takeadvantage of your sub woofer to obtain the correctbass signal.
