CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

THE LIGHTNING FLASH WITH ARROWHEAD SYMBOL, WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE, IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF UNINSULATED "DANGEROUS VOLTAGE" WITHIN THE PRODUCT'S ENCLOSURE THAT MAY BE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK TO PERSONS.

THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE (SERVICING) INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.

Unpacking
Unpack the unit carefully and make sure that all accessories are put aside so they will not be lost. Examine the unit for any possibility of shipping damage. If your unit is damaged or fails to operate, notify your dealer immediately. If your unit was shipped to you directly, notify the shipping company without delay.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC & DOLBY 3 STEREO

KR-897/KR-797 (En)
3

The surround system reproduces video software programs carrying the

mark with similar acoustic effects to movie

theaters.

The DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode controls the audio signals of the Front Left/Right, Center and Rear surround channels using the built-in

directivity enhancer circuit to reproduce the feeling of sound motions very realistically.

The DOLBY 3 STEREO mode can reproduce the motions of sound even when only the front and center speakers are used, by providing proper

acoustic position using the directivity enhancer circuit.

SRS 3D Stereo

The SRS (Sound Retrieval System) is an innovative system simulating a 3-dimensional sound space, which features clearly improved feelings of depth, sound field extension and acoustic image positioning as well as a widened listening area.

The FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE switch on the rear panel is set to the correct setting that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. However, if the FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE setting is not matched to the area where the unit is to be used; for instance, when you moved from area 1 to area 2 or vice versa, desired reception of AM / FM broadcasts is not expected. In this case, change the FM DEEMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE setting in accordance with the area corresponding to the table. The FM DE-EMPHASIS is switched over at the same time.
÷ When changing the setting of the FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE switch, first disconnect the power cord of the amplifier, then reset the channel space switch, connect the power cord again, and turn the power on.

Notes

1. The supplied batteries are intended for use in operation checks. Therefore, their lives may be shorter than ordinary batteries. 2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before, replace both batteries with new ones. 3. Malfunction may occur if direct sunlight or the light of a high-frequency lighting fluorescent lamp enters the remote control light
sensor. In such a case, change the system installation position to prevent the malfunction.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC surround mode

Video, DVD and LD software programs car-

rying the

mark contain re-

cording of the same Dolby Surround data as

those used in movie theaters.

The DOLBY PRO LOGIC surround mode uses

the Dolby Surround data and brings into

home a similar sound field with full of pres-

ence to movie theatres.

To use this mode, connect the surround

(and center) speakers.

DOLBY 3 STEREO mode

If the left and right speakers are installed apart from each other,

the center acoustic image (words, etc.) may vary depending on

the listener's position. The DOLBY 3 STEREO mode provides an

improved positioning of the center acoustic image regardless of

the listening position.

Use this mode when playing videotape, DVD or LD software

carrying the

mark.

To use this mode, connect the center speaker.

Recommended speaker installation
It is recommended that the surround speakers are installed straight to the left and right of the listening position or slightly behind, at a height of about 1 meter higher than the listener's ears. Each surround speaker should be installed so that the longer sides are horizontal.

To improve the feeling of presence in the surround modes, various parameters of each surround mode can be set up
24 according to the speaker system used as well as to the
environmental of the listening room. The following procedure let you set the parameters of the surround mode (DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY 3 STEREO). Once the settings have been done, it is held in memory so readjustment is not necessary even after the mode has been changed to other modes.

Assuming that the distance from



the front speakers is A meters and

When A = 3 m,B = 3 m, the delay time is 20 ms.

that from the surround speakers is B meters:
What is delay time?


Surround speakers

2 Use the following formula for calculation.
Delay time = 20 + 3 x (A - B) (Unit: ms)

The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor, ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The delay time is the difference in time between the direct sound and indirect sounds.

4 Adjust the volume level of each speaker.

1 Ensure that "TEST L" is displayed. Test tone will be output from each speaker.
2 Adjust the volume levels of the center speaker and surround speakers with reference to the front speaker (left & right) levels.

The Sound Retrieval System is an epochal system which produces a three-dimensional sound space by applying the most suitable processing to the sound signal on the basis of the human listening mechanism. This permits real depth and sound location, considered as difficult to realize with conventional 2-channel stereo (general stereo). A sufficient effect can be obtained for any source (CD, tape, broadcasts, etc.).
