DOLBY
PHANTOM/NORMAL
SELECTOR
The
operation
of
the
917
can
be
preset
to
work
with
a
two
Front
channel
speakers
(Left
and
Right)
or
three
Front
channel
speakers
(Left,
Center,
Right).
Set
selector
to
PHANTOM
for
a
system
using
two
Front
speakers.
The
Center
channel
information
is
shared
between
the
Left
and
Right
channels,
creating
a
‘phantom’
center
image.
:
Set
selector
to
NORMAL
for
a
system
using
three
Front
speakers.
In
this
mode,
Dolby
Pro
Logic
circuit
delivers
three
discrete
channels
of
sound
to
the
front
speakers.
For
improved
performance
and
additional
clarity,
especially
on
dialogue,
it
is
recommended
to
use
the
917
with
a
Center
channel
speaker.
The
NORMAL
mode
has
a
100Hz
filter
on
the
Center
channel
to
drive
smaller
speakers.
23. DOLBY 3CH/4CH SELECTOR
The
operation
of
the
917
can
be
preset
to
work
with
a
Front
channel-only
Dolby
Pro
Logic
set-up
or
a
full

set-up.
Set
selector
to
3CH
for
systems
with
Front
Left,
,
Center
and
Right
speakers
but
no
Surround
speak-
ers.
In
this
mode,
the
surround
information
produced
by
the
Dolby
Pro

circuit
is
mixed
with
the
Front
Left
and
Right
signals
and
the

POWER
AMPLIFIER
SURROUND
outputs
remain
unconnect-
ed.
Set
selector
to
4CH
for
systems
with
Front
Left,
Center,
Right
and
Surround
speakers.
in
this
mode,
the
surround
information
produced
by
the
Dolby
Pro
Logic
circuit
is
fed
directly
to
the
Surround
channels.
24. AM ANTENNA
An
AM
wire
antenna
is
supplied
with
the
917
and
is
required
for
AM
reception.
To
connect
the
AM
anten-
na,
first
press
the
key
on
the
Antenna
terminals
downwards.
Insert
the
bare
antenna
wire
into
the
ter-
minal
hole
and
push
the
connector
key
upwards
again
to
secure
the
connection.
Test
various
positions
for
the
antenna
but
always
ensure
the
wire
is
placed
vertically
for
best
reception.
Placing
the
antenna
close
to
large
metal
items
such
,
Kee
as
metal
shelves
or
radiators
may
interfere
with
reception.
(see
Figure
1)
The effectiveness of a wire antenna may be
improved by connecting a second wire from the
ground
(G)
terminal
to
a
true
earth-ground,
i.e.
a
Cop-
per-plated rod driven several feet into the earth. A
substitute electrical ground, such as a cold water
pipe, may also prove effective.
25. FM ANTENNA
A
ribbon
wire
FM
antenna
is
included
and
should
be
connected
to
the
FM
connector
at
the
rear
of
the
unit
using
the
‘balun’
adapter
supplied.
(see
Figure
2)
The
ribbon
aerial
should
be
mounted
on
a
vertical
surface
and
placed
so
that
it
forms
a
‘T
Experiment
with
placement
of
the
antenna
to
find
the
position
that
gives
the
best
signal
strength
and
lowest
background
noise.
The
Tuner
signal
strength
meter
in
the
display
panel
will
help
to
indicate
the
better
anten-
na
positions.
An
inadequate
FM
signal
normally
results
in
high
lev-
els
of
hiss,
especially
in
stereo,
and
interference
from
external
electrical
sources.
In
areas
of
poor
FM
reception,
the
tuner
section’s
performance
can
be
improved
by
using
an
externally
mounted
FM
anten-
na.
A
qualified
aerial
installer
will
be
able
to
advise
and
fit
a
recommended
aerial
for
your
reception
con-
ditions.

and
mode
settings
in
a
non-volatile
memory.
The
917
returns
to
these
modes
when
it
is
next
switched
on.
The
917
also
uses
the
non-volatile
memory
to
store
pre-set
information,
both
for
the
tuner
and
for
the
Dolby
Pro
Logic
set-up,
so
that
these
are
not
lost
when
the
unit
is
switched
to
stand-
by
or
disconnected
from
the
AC
supply.
CAUTION:
When
in
standby,
power
is
still
supplied
to
the
917
and
the
unswitched
AC
outputs.
Disconnect
the
917
from
the
AC
outlet
when
it
is
not
being
used
for
jong
periods
of
time.
2. VOLUME
The
VOLUME
contro!
adjusts
the
overall
loudness
of
the
signals
being
fed
to
the
power
amplifiers.
The
VOLUME
control
does
not
affect
recordings
made
using
the
tape
or
VCR
line
outputs
or
the
level
of
the
MULTI
ROOM
output.
