n Connecting this unit to a TV via HDMI connections (vpage9)
•High quality playback by transmitting audio and video via digital signals
HDMI connections can transmit high definition video and high quality audio formats adopted by Bluray disc players (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, dts-HD, dts-HD Master Audio).
HDMI connections also convey information required for playback between devices. The information
is used for copyright protection and TV resolution recognition, the ARC function, the HDMI control
function, etc.
•Transmission of audio and video signals with a single HDMI cable
Previous connections required multiple audio and video cables, but HDMI connections require only a
single HDMI cable to transmit audio and video signals. This allows wires in a home theater system,
which tend to be complicated, to be more easily organized.
•Mutual control through the HDMI control function (vpage88)
This unit and the HDMI device connected via HDMI can be linked to perform operations such as
power control, volume control, and input source switching.
•Other video and audio functions, such as 3D video playback, Content Type, the ARC function,
are supported (vpage11).
•There is more than one version of the HDMI standard. The supported functions and the performance
vary according to the version. This unit complies with the HDMI standard that supports the ARC and 3D
playback functions. To enjoy these functions, the HDMI device connected to this unit also needs to use
the same version of the standard. For the version of the HDMI standard on the device connected to this
unit, see the device’s manual.
•Some TVs do not support audio input via HDMI connections. For details, see your TV’s manual.

n About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function
This function plays TV audio on this unit by sending the TV audio signal to this unit via the HDMI cable.
If a TV without the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections, video signals of the playback
device connected to this unit are transmitted to the TV, but this unit can not play back the audio from
the TV. If you want to enjoy surround audio for TV program, a separate audio cable connection is
required.
In contrast, if a TV with the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections, no audio cable connection
is required. Audio signals from the TV can be input to this unit through the HDMI cable between this
unit and the TV. This function allows you to enjoy surround playback on this unit for the TV.

Set up speakers (Audyssey® Setup)
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and
listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made
automatically. This is called “Audyssey® Setup”.
To perform measurement, place the Setup and measurement
microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area.
For best results, we recommend you measure in six positions, as
shown in the illustration (up to six positions).
•When performing Audyssey® Setup, Audyssey MultEQ®/
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions
become active (vpage104, 105).
•To set up the speakers manually, use “Speakers” (vpage115)
on the menu.
NOTE
•Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows and turn o the power on
electronic devices (TVs, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights,
etc.). The measurements could be aected by the sounds emitted
by such devices.
•During the measurement process, place cell phones outside the
listening room. Cell phone signals could disrupt the measurements.
•Do not unplug the Setup and measurement microphone from the
main unit until Audyssey® Setup is completed.
•Do not stand between the speakers and Setup and measurement
microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements
are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.
•During the measurement process, audible test tones will come from
the speakers and subwoofer(s), but this is part of normal operation.
If there is background noise in the room, these test signals will
increase in volume.
•Operating
control unit or MASTER VOLUME on the
main unit during the measurements will
cancel the measurements.
•Measurement cannot be performed when
headphones are connected. Unplug the
headphones before performing Audyssey®
Setup.

About Setup and measurement
microphone placement
•Measurements are performed by placing the Setup and measurement
microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire
listening area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we
recommend you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration
(up to six positions).
•Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more eective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would
normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening
environment. Before starting Audyssey® Setup, place the Setup and
measurement microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey
MultEQ® uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for
the subwoofer.
