AVIS
1. Read Instructions All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Cleaning Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before
cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
6. Attachments Do not use attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture Do not use the appliance near water for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.
Any mounting of the appliance
should follow the manufacturers
instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
9. An appliance and cart combina-
tion should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination
to overturn.
10. Ventilation Slots and openings
in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reli-
able operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheat-
ing, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on
a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be
free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the
appliance.
11. Power Sources The appliance should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization The appliance may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of the polarized plug.
13.Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides in-
formation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
15. Lightning For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon-
nect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be lo-
cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind
into the appliance through openings as they may touch danger-
ous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire
or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appli-
ance.
19. Servicing Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the appliance form the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance this indicates a need for service.

THX Ultra
Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra certified,
it must pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests.
Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra logo, which is
your guarantee that the Home Theatre products you purchase
will give you superb performance for many years to come. THX
Ultra requirements define hundreds of parameters, including
power amplifier performance, and pre-amplifier performance
and operation for both digital and analog domains. THX Ultra
receivers also features proprietary THX technologies (e.g. THX
Mode, see page 38) which accurately translate film soundtracks
for home theater playback.

Installing the remote controller batteries
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by
pressing the tab and sliding the cover.
2. Insert two AA (R6 or UM-3) batteries into the
battery compartment. Carefully follow the
polarity diagram (positive (+) and negative (–)
symbols) inside the battery compartment.
3. After batteries are installed and seated
correctly, replace the compartment cover.
Notes:
Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds
of batteries.
To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote
controller is not to be used for a long time.
Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from
corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly,
replace both the batteries at the same time.
The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this
will vary depending on usage.
Using the remote controller
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The
STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal
from the remote controller.
Notes:
Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or
inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation
of the remote controller.
Using another remote controller of the same type in the same
room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays
may cause operational interference.
Do not put objects on the remote controller. The buttons of the
remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the
batteries.
Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass.
Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote
controller operation.
If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the
remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.
Before using remote controller
Memory preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A
built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents
of the memory during power failures and even when the
POWER switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set
to on in order to charge the backup system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been
turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the
unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a
period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been
turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a
highly humid climate.

ANTENNA
These jacks are for connecting the FM indoor antenna and AM
loop antenna that are supplied with the TX-DS989.
AMP IN
These jacks are for connecting a graphic equalizer for further
control of the audio output.
When connecting a graphic equalizer, remove the attached
jumper plugs and store them carefully so as not to lose them.
Only remove the jumper plugs when required. After you finish
using an AMP IN jack, replace the jumper plug.
PRE OUT
These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifiers.
When connecting auxiliary power amplifiers, remove the
attached jumper plugs and store them carefully so as not to
lose them.
Only remove the jumper plugs when required. After you finish
using a PRE OUT jack, replace the jumper plug.
MONITOR OUT
There are 2 monitor outputs and each one includes both composite
video and S-video configurations. When connecting two video
monitors or televisions, be aware that the OSD interface can only
be used with MONITOR OUT 1 (OSD will not be displayed on the
video monitor connected to MONITOR OUT 2).
DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT
(coaxial, optical, and input-only AC-3RF)
These are the digital audio inputs and outputs. There are 5 digital
inputs with coaxial jacks, 3 with optical jacks, and 1 AC-3RF
input. The inputs accept digital audio signals from a compact disc,
LD, DVD, or other digital source component. For digital output,
there is 1 coaxial output and 1 optical output. The digital outputs
can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or
other similar components.
When using the digital inputs and outputs, make sure to also
connect the analog connections whenever possible.
When using one of the optical input or output jacks, remove
the protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used,
replace the protective cap.
When using an optical input or output jack, always use an
optical fiber cable.
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
If your DVD player or other device has component video
connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video
connectors on the TX-DS989. The TX-DS989 has three
component video input connectors to obtain the color information
(Y, PB, PR) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video
component and one component video output connector to output it
directly into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending
the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal
forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the
image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with
incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.
Optical digital input terminal
An optical digital input terminal is
equipped with a protection cap. When
connecting, remove this cap. When
not using, put the cap back on the
terminal.
AC OUTLETS
The TX-DS989 is supplied with two AC mains outlets for
connecting the power cords from other devices so that their power
is supplied through the TX-DS989. By doing this, you can use the
STANDBY/ON button on the TX-DS989 to turn on and off the
connected devices as well.
Caution
Make sure that the total capacity of the other components
connected to this unit does not exceed the capacity that is printed
on the rear panel. For the North American model, the capacity is
120 watts.

Connecting your audio components
Below is an example of how you can connect your audio
components to the TX-DS989. Refer to the diagram on pages 16
and 17 for the following connection examples.
1. Connecting a turntable
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output
terminal on the turntable to the PHONO IN jacks on the TX-
DS989. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the
L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
Note:
The TX-DS989 is designed for use with moving magnet
cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire
to the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting
the ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a
ground wire is not necessary and should not be connected.
2. Connecting a compact disc player
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output
terminal on the compact disc player to the CD IN jacks on the TX-
DS989. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the
L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
If the compact disc player has a digital output jack as well, be sure
to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or
DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS989 depending
on the type of connector on the compact disc player.

Connecting speakers
Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by
consulting the instruction manuals that came with them.
For surround playback, the configuration and placement of your
speakers are very important.
For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a
THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.
Ideal speaker configuration
Front right and left speakers
Center speaker
Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for
the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic
movement.
Surround right and left speakers
Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces
environmental sound associated with the background and
effect sound for each scene.
Surround back right and left speakers
Required for enjoying THX Surround EX audio.
Subwoofer
Produces powerful and heavy bass.
Minimum speaker configuration for surround
sound playback
Front right and left speakers
Surround right and left speakers
The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will
be properly distributed to the front right and left speakers and the
surround right and left speakers for optimized surround playback.
Speaker placement
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room
and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker
placement and recommendations are shown.
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the
listeners ears when at the listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than
that of the listeners ears.
Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are required for enjoying THX Surround EX
audio.
Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle
between each speaker and the listener is approximately 30
degrees.
Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than
that of the listeners ears.
1 TV or screen
2 Front left speaker
3 Subwoofer
4 Center speaker
5 Front right speaker
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is recommended for the highest bass effect.
6 Surround left speaker
7 Surround right speaker
8 Surround back left speaker
9 Surround back right speaker
10 Listening position
Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their orientation
towards the screen. So for the side dipoles, the arrows point
forward. For the back dipoles, the arrows should point towards
each other to achieve the correct acoustical phasing in the room.

TX-DS989
Outline
If the TX-DS989 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure
where the infrared beams from the remote controller cannot enter,
then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In
such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a
location outside of the cabinet for the infrared beams from the
controller to reach.
1. Connect the connecting block to the IR IN
MAIN input at the TX-DS989.
2. Install the remote sensor at a location where it
can detect the infrared beams from the remote
controller.
3. Connect the remote sensor to the connecting
block.

designs and configurations. These settings and the distance
settings performed above are vital to create the proper acoustics
required for the optimum sound space and dynamics.
Note:
The speaker level settings here are not effective for multi-channel
input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multi-channel input
sources, you will need to use the CH SEL, LEVEL+, and LEVEL-
buttons on the RC-390M remote controller. See page 53.

Calibrating the speaker levels
(1) When this sub-menu is entered, the TX-DS989 will emit a pink
noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the master
volume automatically increases to the reference level (0dB).
Remember the level of this noise and then press the DOWN
cursor button. (Note that this can be adjusted to any level
between -12 and 12 decibels in 0.5-decibel intervals.) The TX-
DS989 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.
(2) Using the and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of
the noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as
the front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the
speakers to help you compare the volume levels.
(3) Press the cursor button again. The TX-DS989 will now emit
the pink noise from the front right speaker.
(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) above for the front right and other
speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume
level.
Notes:
Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker
Config sub-menu will not appear.
To accurately set the output levels, it is recommended to use a
handheld sound pressure level (SPL) meter. Set the meter to C-
weighting and slow averaging. A Radio Shack® SPL meter or
equivalent is recommended. Using the internal channel noise
generators, set each channel so that you read a 75 decibel
sound pressure level.

1-4. Bass Peak Level (Bass Peak Level
Manager*) sub-menu
Setting the bass peak level is important to keep your subwoofer
from being damaged by preventing it from outputting over a set
volume. If your subwoofer has a built-in limiter, set this setting to
“Off.”
Note:
If your system does not include a subwoofer, this setting will set
the bass peak level for your front speakers.

2-1. Digital Setup sub-menu
The settings made in this sub-menu are valid for the input source
that is currently selected with the input source buttons at the front
panel and, therefore, these settings are made separately for each
digital input source. This sub-menu will not appear if the
Multichannel setting in the Multichannel Setup sub-menu is set to
On for the selected input source, or if the selected input source
button is AM, FM, or PHONO. If this setting is incorrectly made,
the digital audio signals may not be properly output, or not heard at
all.
a. Digital Input
This setting tells the TX-DS989 which input source button on the
front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear
panel. To perform this setting, you must first select a digital input
source at the front panel and then set the name of the digital input
jack it is connected to here.
For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD
and the compact disc player is connected to OPTICAL IN 1, then
select OPT1 here. If the input source selected is not connected to
a digital input, then select ----.
OPT1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 1.
OPT2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 2.
OPT3: Select if connected to the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 3.
COAX1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 1.
COAX2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 2.
COAX3: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 3.
COAX4: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 4.
COAX5: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 5.
––––: Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.
b. Digital Format
The default setting is Auto. If ---- is selected for this input
source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting will not appear.
Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it
as desired depending on the input signal format (e.g., if you know
that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format
from a particular input source).
Current
Input
Source
35
Auto: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format.
The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, PCM or
Analog) used by the selected input source is detected
automatically to execute the required decoding process. If no
digital signal is input, the input signals to the analog input
jacks will be played.
AC-3RF: Select if a LD player with an AC-3RF terminal is
connected to the AC-3RF input on the TX-DS989. AC-3RF
can only be selected if VIDEO 4 is selected as the input source.
Digital: Select for automatic detection of a digital input signal
format. The input digital signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS,
MPEG, or PCM) used by the selected digital input source is
detected automatically to execute the necessary decoding
process.
DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when DTS signals are input.
PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when PCM signals are input.
Analog: Regardless of whether the component is also digitally
connected, the audio signals input from the component
through the analog input jacks are played.
Notes:
If Auto or Digital is selected and a compact disc or LD is
fast-forwarded during playback, decoded PCM signals may
produce a skipping sound. In such cases, change the setting to
PCM.
If a compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played
back with PCM selected, only noise will be produced.
Always select Auto, Digital, or DTS when playing back
DTS-encoded sources.
Notes on DTS:
If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the PCM
setting is selected on the TX-DS989, the DTS encoded signal
will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could
damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to
selected Auto, Digital, or DTS and use the digital input
jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the Auto or
Digital setting is selected, you may hear a noise for a short
while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded
signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.
If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while
playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the DTS
selected.
The DTS indicator on the TX-DS989 lights while a DTS
source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal
transmission stops, the TX-DS989 remains in DTS mode and
the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you
operate the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player. Therefore, if
the source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the
PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback
of the source on the player for about three seconds and then
resume playback.
Input Setup
You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from
certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the
player to the TX-DS989 digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling
frequency, or frequency response) and the TX-DS989 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear
noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE 1
OUT, and TAPE 2 OUT output analog audio signals. Do not
record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs.
If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

2-2. Multichannel Setup sub-menu
This sub-menu will not appear if AM, FM, or PHONO is selected
at the front panel for the input source. This setting is normally set
to No, and only needs to be changed to Yes if a DVD player,
MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port
is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port for 5.1-
channel or 7.1-channel audio. For example, if a DVD player is
connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port, then select
DVD at the front panel as the input source, bring up this sub-menu,
and select Yes for the Multichannel setting. When Yes is
selected, the audio from the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT is given
preference.

a. Video
This setting allows you to match the audio from one component
with the video from another. Therefore, you can set a video source
to be displayed while the audio from another input source is heard.
For example, this allows you to play the music from a compact
disc, while displaying the picture from a video cassette player or
other video source. Since the settings in this sub-menu are also
linked to the input source that is currently selected at the front
panel, a different setting can be made for each digital input source.
The default settings are given below.

Last valid: When you change to an input source set to Last
valid, the video of the input source that you changed from is
continued. For example, if the selected input source is VIDEO
1, and you then change to CD (set to Last valid), then the
audio from the CD input is played while the video from
VIDEO 1 continues.

2-4. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu
With the TX-DS989, you can set a different listening mode for
each different signal type that comes from each input source and
also set the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example,
if your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video
signal is DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set
a different listening mode for each.
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types
of movies or music.
Note that some listening modes cannot be set for some input
sources. In addition, if Yes is set for multi channel for the input
source selected, then the listening mode cannot be set. Also, if the
---- is set for the Digital Input setting in the Digital Setup sub-
menu, then you can only select Analog/PCM.

Relationship between input source and listening mode
The listening modes that can be set are different for each input source format.
*If Dolby Pro Logic is set for the listening mode and there are no surround speakers, then the listening mode becomes 3 Stereo.
* The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of
versions including Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG. The 5.1-
channel digital surround format enables you to individually
record and play five full-range (20Hz-20kHz) channels (left
and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE
channel (Low Frequency Effect)for the low-range effect
sound. It will create a realistic sound that could be heard in the
theaters and concert halls.
38
Input Setup
Listening Modes
Mono
This mode is for listening to the left and right channels separately.
This mode also allows you to listen to the multiplexed soundtracks
on DVDs, and other media that have them.
Stereo
This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front
speakers.
Direct
This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality
adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left
front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and
not output to the subwoofer.
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
This mode is for listening to sources encoded with Dolby Digital
in their plain format.
DTS
This mode is for listening to music DTS sources in their plain
format.
DTS Film
This mode is for listening to cinema DTS sources in their plain
format.
MPEG
This mode is for listening to music MPEG sources in their plain
format.
MPEG Film
This mode is for listening to cinema MPEG sources in their plain
format.
THX (THX Cinema)
Movies that have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG,
and Dolby Pro Logic can all benefit by activating the THX mode.
THX should be activated only when watching movies that were
mixed for playback in large movie theater environments. THX
need not be activated for music, for movies that were made
especially for television, or for shows such as sports programming,
talk shows, and the like. This is because they were mixed in a
small room environment.
For best results, use a THX certified speaker system.
How to enjoy THX Surround EX
When the THX listening mode is selected, you can press the
THX button on the remote controller to cycle through the
settings Auto, On, and Off.
When Auto is selected, if a Surround EX encoded source is
input, it is automatically played in the THX Surround EX
mode. When On is selected, all surround EX encoded
sources and THX Surround EX playable sources (i.e., DTS-ES
encoded sources) are played in the THX Surround EX mode. If
the sound does not feel correct, set this to Off.
If On is selected and a source that cannot be played in the
THX Surround EX mode, THXCinema appears in the front
display. If Off is selected, the listening mode becomes THX
Cinema.
Note:
THX Surround EX can only be selected if the surround back
speakers are connected.
Input source signals
a. Analog/PCM
Analog sources consist of LP records, AM and FM broadcasts,
cassette tapes, and the such. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is one
form of digital audio signals and is recorded directly onto compact
discs and DVDs without compression.
b. PCM fs > 48 k
Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater
than 48 kilohertz. This includes compact discs and DVDs that are
recorded with high quality audio.
c. PCM fs = 192 k
Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater
than 192 kilohertz. This includes compact discs and DVDs that are
recorded with extremely high quality audio.
d. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of 5.1-
channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and
LDs that have the mark and therefore recorded for 5.1-
channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite
broadcasts that support Dolby Digital.
Dial norm
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is feature of Dolby
Digital. When playing back software that has been encoded in
Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the
front panel display that read Dial Norm xdB (x being a
numeric value). Dialogue Normalization serves to let you
know if the source material has been recorded at a higher or
lower level than usual. For example, if you see the message
Dial Norm: +4 in the front panel display, to keep the overall
output level constant just turn down the volume control by
4dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening
to has been recorded 4dB louder than usual. If you do not see a
message, then no adjustment of the volume control is
necessary.
e. DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a
maximum 5.1-channel surround output that allows for an
extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a
DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from compact
discs, DVDs, and LDs that have the mark.
f. MPEG
Digital data with a maximum of 5.1-channel surround audio
with MPEG compression. This source signal comes from
DVDs that have the mark.
g. D.F. 2 ch
This corresponds to 2-channel digital format sources. This
signal source comes from LDs, DVDs, and other digital sources
that are recorded with 2-channel audio.
h. D.F. Mono
This corresponds to monaural digital format sources. This
signal source comes from LDs, DVDs, and other digital sources
that are recorded with monaural audio.

Input Setup
THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a
joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX
division of Lucasfilm Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded
with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to
reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the
mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back,
places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently
available front left, front center, front right, surround right,
surround left, and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more
detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth,
spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.
When released to the home consumer market, movies that
were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX
technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging.
A list of movies created using this technology can be found on
the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com <http://
www.dolby.com> .
Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX
Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode,
faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the THX Surround EX
mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is
not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the
information delivered to the Surround Back channel will
be program dependent and may or may not be very
pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the
tastes of the individual listener.
Action
This mode is designed for movie soundtracks that stress special
effect sounds and surround effects. In addition to strengthening the
low frequency ranges for the front left, front right, and surround
speakers, it also increases the surround levels. Resonance is also
cut for a movie-theater feeling and increased enjoyment.
Musical
This mode is designed for watching musicals and movie
soundtracks where importance is placed on the music. By slightly
increasing the mid to high frequency ranges from the center
speaker, the vocals from the screen seem highlighted for added
listening pleasure. This mode is optimum for playing software that
stresses music, environmental sounds, and the front image.
Pro Logic/3 Stereo (Dolby Pro Logic/3 Stereo)
This mode is for listening to recordings with Dolby surround,
which consists of four channels (left, right, center, and monaural
surround) and emphasizes the center channel. Dolby Pro Logic is
very effective for panning music, conversation, and three-
dimensional sound movement output from the three front
channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of
the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater.
Select this listening mode when you play a VHS, VHS hi-fi, LD,
or DVD video that has the mark.
If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround sound is
divided and output from the front left and right channels.(3 Stereo)
Pro Logic THX (Dolby Pro Logic THX)
This mode is the same as the Dolby Pro Logic listening mode with
the THX effects added as well. Select this mode when listening to
movies that were encoded using Dolby Pro Logic.
Pro Logic Action (Dolby Pro Logic Action)
When listening to movies using the Dolby Pro Logic, this mode
allows you to further enhance the cinematic quality by adding
processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.
Pro Logic Musical (Dolby Pro Logic Musical)
When listening to music using the Dolby Pro Logic, this mode
allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding
processing that emphasizes the musical effects.
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as
old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the
unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the
center-channel sound processed with the appropriate
reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the
atmosphere of a movie theater.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended
that you have at least front left and right speakers, a center speaker,
and surround left and right speakers. However, if you do only have
front left and right speakers, you can enjoy multichannel audio by
using this mode.
This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that reaches
each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To receive the full
effect, there is an optimum listening position (sweet spot). Refer to
the explanation of the listening angle. In addition, if the reflective
sound components are large, it may be difficult to achieve the
desired result, so be sure to set up your system and listening
position to minimize reflective sound.
Enhanced 7
Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment
by using 7-channel speakers. The sound effects moving smoothly
toward the surround back. This mode is good for music and TV
sports programs.
Orchestra
This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center
channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen
the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is
created in large halls.
TV Logic
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired
from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity
of the conversation.
Unplugged
This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and
jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate
the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are
enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling
of being in a club or rock concert.
All Ch Stereo
This mode is designed for playing background music. The front,
surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that
encompasses the entire area.

If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be times when
the audio and video from a DVD or LD player is not output in
perfect sync. The result is where the sound and picture do not
match and the sound is heard too early. In such a case, use this
setting to properly synchronize the audio and video. This setting
can be set between 0 to 30 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal
circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. For input sources using the
multi channel port, this setting will not appear.
b. Relative Delay
Besides level and delay adjustments, the TX-DS989 provides the
ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position to fine tune
the soundfield for the listener. This is accomplished using
Onkyos unique Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This
adjustment provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the speakers,
which is equivalent to moving the speaker 10 feet away. This
adjustment is set up to provide -4 or +6 milliseconds (-4 or +6 feet)
of adjustment to the listeners position.
Once the coarse adjustments--speaker level and distance
adjustments--are made, the system is set up to provide a typical or
broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative position of
the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to be more spread
out (deeper) or focused (shallower).

Description listening mode parameters
Subwoofer
Set this to Off if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is
connected). If No is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the
Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
Re-EQ/Academy
Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or
off, or you can select Re-EQ, Academy, or Off.
Re-EQ: Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or
brightness out of your home cinema sound to compensate
for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright
when played back through speakers in the home environment.
Academy: Older monaural film mixes relied on high-
frequency rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced,
so that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film
would not be heard. The high-frequency loss was typically due
to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical filters,
loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some films have been
transferred to video without such a high-frequency rolloff, and
thus sound overly bright and hissy. The TX-DS989 includes
this Academy filter, which is based on contemporary
playback practices for such films over wide-range systems.
On: Select to turn on the Re-EQ.
Off: Select to turn off both the re-equalization and Academy
filters.
Input Channel
This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural
sound.
Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances for output
from both the left and right speakers.
Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when
playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a
case, the left and right channels will contain different
language. Select the channel with the language you desire.
Output Channel
This allows you to set which output channel to use for monaural
sound. If None is selected for the Center Speaker setting in the
Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
L+R: The monaural sound is split between the left and right
channels.
Center: The monaural sound is output from the front center
channel.
Digital Upsampling
Digital upsampling processes the input digital signal and converts
its digital sampling frequency to twice the current frequency for an
even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either
On or Off.
Listening Mode Setup
Front left speaker Front right speaker
Listening angle
20˚ - 40˚
Surround Speakers
This setting allows you to decide through which speakers to output
the sound meant for the surround speakers during 5.1-channel
output when seven speakers are connected to the TX-DS989.
Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and
right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround
back left and right speakers.
Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back
left and right speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left
and right speakers.
Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround
left and right speakers and the surround back left and right
speakers.
Front Effect
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you
play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,
creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or
presence. In this case, set this setting to Off. No reverberation
from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three
front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any
further reverberation.
Reflect Lvl
This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of direct sound
reflections to match the playback source material, the acoustics of
your room, and such other factors. This can be set between -5 and
+5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.
Reverb Lvl
This parameter allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic
reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics
of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between -5
and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.
Room Size
This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each
surround mode. You can choose from Large, Mid-Large,
Middle, Mid-Small, or Small.
Listening angle
The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and
right speakers as seen from the listener. The setting of 20 and 40
degrees are only for nominal purposes, so select the setting that is
closest to your actual listening angle.

a. Volume Display
You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume setting
on screen.
Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of min
(0) for no sound and a maximum of max (100). As a reference,
the volume setting of Ref (82) is used as the 0 -decibel for the
relative display method.
Relative: This displays the volume as a decibel value on a
scale with a designated reference point that is displayed as 0,
which equals the volume setting of 82 for the absolute display
method. With this display method, the minimum value is -,
the next highest is -81, and the maximum value is +18.
b. Muting Level
This sets the attenuation level during playback when the Muting
button is pressed on the remote controller. This can be set between
-, -50 and -10 decibels in 10-decibel increments.
c. Maximum Volume
This sets a maximum limit for the master volume to reduce the
chance of any components becoming damaged from accidental
increases to the volume. For the absolute volume display method,
this can be set between 50 and 90. For the relative volume display
method, this can be set between -32 and +17 decibels.
d. Power On Volume
This sets a designated volume setting for the TX-DS989 to be set
every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the TX-
DS989 from being turned on while it is set to an extremely high
volume and suddenly output very loud sounds. For the absolute
volume display method, this can be set between 0 and 99. For the
relative volume display method, this can be set between - and
+18 decibels. If you do not mind having the TX-DS989 turned on
with its current volume setting, set this to Last Valid.

Note:
The relationship between the OSD menu for the main zone and
remote zone (Zone 2)
The TX-DS989 cannot output the OSD menu for both the main
and remote zones simultaneously. For example, if an input source
with no image is selected at the main zone (only the background
color is displayed on the television screen) and the Zone 2 input
source is changed, then the display at the main zone changes from
the background color to a display with no image and the display at
Zone 2 changes to the OSD menu (Immediate Display). This is not
a malfunction. To prevent this, change the c. Immediate Display
setting for the 5-1. OSD Setup sub-menu to OFF.
The default setting for the c. Immediate Display setting of the 5-1.
OSD Setup sub-menu is OFF.

Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to
the RC-390M remote controller, you must first decide under which
MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general,
you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the
component you are programming. For example, if you are
programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact
disc player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by
pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-390M
remote controller will change to the commands you program here
to operate the compact disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you will then
transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller
over to the RC-390M remote controller one at a time. Each
command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-
390M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step
except for the eight MODE buttons (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD,
SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT
and MODE), and the LIGHT button.
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old
remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands
are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to
memorize them once again.
1. Place the remote controller and the remote
controller for the other device facing each
other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches)
apart.
2. While pressing and holding down the desired
MODE button on the remote controller, press
the ENT button and then release both buttons.
When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/
LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENT button, the
lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights
again and LEARN appears in the display.
3. Press and release the button on the remote
controller to which you want to transfer the
next command.
You may select any button but the eleven ones indicated in the
figure below. When you press the button, RCV appears in
the display and the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When
you release the button, the indicator lights again.
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same
button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice,
CLEAR appears in the display, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode.
The remote controller has two learning functions. One is a normal
learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the
codes from other remote controllers. The other is a macro learning
function that enables you to program of series of operations into
the remote controller so that they can all be performed at once by
pressing one button.

Erasing the programmed command from one
button
You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button
for the command, press the ENT button, and
then release both buttons.
When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator lights and that mode appears in the display. When
you press the ENT button, the lamp turns off. When you
release the buttons, the lamp lights again and LEARN
appears in the display.
2. Press and release the button for the command
you wish to erase.
When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns
off and RCV appears in the display. When you release the
button, the lamp lights again.
3. Press and release the same button again.
The SEND/LEARN lamp flashes twice slowly and CLEAR
appears in the display. The memorized command is erased.
Note:
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three
times quickly, ERROR appears in the display, and the
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from
Step 1.
Erasing all the commands programmed under a
MODE button
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE
button, press the ENT button twice, and then
release both buttons.
When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator lights and that mode appears in the display. When
you press the ENT button, the lamp turns off. When you
release the buttons, the lamp flashes twice slowly and then
lights again.
2. Press and release the same MODE button
again.
When you release the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator
flashes twice slowly. This erases all the commands memorized
to the MODE button.
Notes:
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three
times quickly and the remote controller exits the programming
mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the
SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly,
ERROR appears in the display, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.
If many commands have been programmed to the MODE
button, then the SEND/LEARN indicator may remain lit for
some time during Step 2. This is not a malfunction.
