There are three types of video jacks (COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, (composite) VIDEO) for connecting video components. Connect them to the corresponding video jacks according to their capability. For best video quality, use COMPONENT connections if possible. Second choice is S-VIDEO. Last choice is (composite) VIDEO. When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect Y to Y, PB/CB to CB(or B-Y, PB) and PR/CR to CR(or R-Y, PR ). When connecting video recording component such as video deck, DVD recorder, etc., you must use the same type of video jacks that you did connect to video playback components such as DVD player, cable or satellite set top box, etc. This unit up-converts composite video or S-Video signals to component video signals or down-converts S-Video signals to composite video signals and outputs them from the MONITOR OUTs. Because of this, one of three types of MONITOR OUT jacks can be connected to the monitor TV regardless of how the video components are connected to VIDEO IN jacks of this unit. Connect the video components, referring to the following table.

7. CONNECTING SPEAKERS
Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according to channel color coding on receiver speaker outputs and on the back of the speakers. Make sure that wires are also used according to their color coding, with colored wire connected to (+) and black wire connected to (-) on both receiver and speakers. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. For installing the speakers, refer to Speaker placement on page 9. After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout. (For details, refer to Speaker Setup on page 19.) Caution : Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.
Speaker placement
To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as follows : Front speakers:Place each front speaker on either side of your TV symmetrically so that total distance between left and right speaker is no less than 7 feet (2.4 m), with 8-10 feet (2.4 m - 3 m) being best. You can use included metal stand to place the speaker on a flat surface. The stand should be firmly inserted in the provided slots in the speaker's rear panel. Insert the stand in corresponding slots for vertical (front or rear speakers) or horizontal (center channel speaker) positioning. Center speaker:Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to assure good localization of center channel program. Rear speakers: Place rear speakers behind the listening position as indicated on the diagram to the right. Ideally the speakers should be positioned symmetrically. You can place the rear speakers on corner tables or other support using the included stands. You can also mount them on a side or rear wall. The optimum wall mounting height of the rear speakers is about 40" (1m), but you can mount them slightly higher if needed. Subwoofer: Subwoofer is required to reproduce low (bass) notes. The rear panel contains the main controls of the subwoofer. Power ON/OFF switch turns the unit on or off. Phase 0-180 adjusts the subwoofer's phase. We recommended 0 degrees setting in most cases. If your subwoofer is located further than 5 feet from the nearest satellite speaker, then switch to 180 degrees. If bass sounds more full, keep switch in that position (otherwise, put it back to 0). Auto/ON switch allows either keeping subwoofer ON at all times (ON), or engages a signal sensing network (Auto) that keeps the subwoofer in stand-by mode if you don't use it and turns it ON automatically when program starts playing. Volume control is located on the front panel. Start from a low level, and keep adjusting subwoofer volume until you get a balanced sound and seamless integration between subwoofer and satellie speakers. Reproduction of all movies and music multichannel formats requires all five speakers and subwoofer. Reproduction of stereo program requires left and right front speakers and subwoofer only.

Speaker Setup
After you have installed this receiver and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout. Even when you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of your listening environment, you should adjust the speaker settings, too. Note: You don't have to adjust speaker and subwoofer settings when using QG system speakers. Your QG-500AVR receiver speaker settings are already correctly preset at the factory. The front L/R, Center and Rear L/R speakers are all set to Small, the Surround Back speaker to None and the Subwoofer to Yes for optional sound quality and ease of operation with your QG speakers.
About the speaker size
The composition of the signals output from the different channels and the frequency response are adjusted automatically according to the combination of speakers actually being used. Select Large or Small not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speakers capacity for playing low frequency (bass sound frequency set for the Crossover Frequency) signals.
Large : Select this when connecting speakers that can fully reproduce sounds below crossover frequency(*) of your speaker. Small : Select this when connecting speakers that cannot fully reproduce sounds below crossover frequency. When this setting is selected, sounds below crossover frequency are sent to the subwoofer or speakers which are set to Large(when not using a subwoofer). None : Select this when no speakers are connected. When this is selected, sounds are sent to the speakers which are not set to None. Yes / None : Select the desired depending on whether a subwoofer is connected or not. (*) : Below the Crossover Frequency, bass sounds from the front left/right speakers are sent to the subwoofer (unless the Front L/R speakers are set to large and there is no subwoofer being used). Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers to be connected. If the frequency range of your speaker is 100 Hz ~ 20 kHz, the crossover frequency has to be set to 100 Hz(or slightly higher). If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.
Depending on relationship among speakers, settings possible for each speaker are as follows:
Front L/R Center Surr. L/R Large Large Small None Large Large Small Small None Large None Small None Small Small None Small None Small None Surr. Back Large Small None Small None None Large Small None Small None None Large Small None Small None None Small None None Small None None Subwoofer

Surround modes
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround (also called simply DTS) is a multichannel digital signal format which can handle high data rates. Discs bearing the logo include the recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can be generally thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio compression required. It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting in excellent sound. DTS Neo : 6 Cinema This mode is optimum for playing 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 Neo : 6 Music This mode is suited mainly for playing 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.
This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly improves the 360- degree surround impression and spatial expression thanks to further expanded surround signals, offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format. In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the surround back (sometimes also referred to as surround center) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods as follows: 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 is moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed to the surround left and surround right channels so that none of the signal components are lost. DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 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. Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel signal sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder. 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. However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix mode should be selected manually to play these sources.
DTS 96/24
Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency. With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz. In addition, this format has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96kHz / 24 bit PCM signals. As with conventional DTS surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels. DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 sources can be played using a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder. DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 and Neo:6 are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the logo includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.
Dolby Digital EX
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. For the best results, this mode should be selected during playback of sources (bearing the logo) recorded in Dolby Digital EX. With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially. 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.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects. Dolby Pro Logic II surround This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals, etc. to surround processing to offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie and Dolby Pro Logic II Music like Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround. Dolby Virtual Speaker This mode creates a virtual surround sound field using as few as two front speakers, allowing you to experience listening from 5.1 channel speakers. This mode is effective not only for 5.1 channel sources but also for stereo (2 channel) sources. Dolby VIrtual Speaker includes two listening mode as follows: Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference The width of the front sound image is defined by the actual distance between front speakers. Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide The width of the front sound image seems to extend beyond the front speakers.

MPEG Multichannel This mode is a surround system which faithfully reproduces the ambience and dynamics of movie soundtracks and music alike. The following modes apply conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to high performance Digital Signal Processor to recreate sound fields artificially. Select one of the 3 provided surround modes according to the program source you want to play. Theater This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater when watching a movie. Hall This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall for classical music sources such as orchestral, chamber music or an instrumental solo.
