Speaker connection

Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit. This section explains how to connect them using typical examples.

NOTE

Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the

speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer. Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker

terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other. (“Protection circuit” (v

Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so

could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 8 in the separate “Quick Start Guide”) is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)

Use speakers with an impedance of 6 – 16 Ω/ohms.

p. 116))

Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of sheathing from the

tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

Press the lever on the speaker terminal.

Holding the lever on the speaker terminal, insert the

core wire of the speaker cable all the way into the speaker terminal.

Release your finger from the lever on the speaker

terminal.

About the main listening position

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 “Auto Setup”, place the Sound calibration microphone in the main listening position.

Connections Playback Settings Tips Appendix

NOTE

Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room

measurements. Close windows and turn off the power on electronic devices (radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, etc.). The measurements could be affected 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 stand between the speakers and Sound calibration microphone or allow

obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. Also, install the Sound calibration microphone at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from the wall. Failure to do so will result in 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.

Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected. Unplug the

headphones before performing “Auto Setup”.

Tips

I want the volume not to become too loud by mistake

Set the volume upper limit for “Limit” in the menu beforehand. This prevents children or others from increasing the volume too much by mistake.

(v p. 71)

I want to keep the volume at the same level when I turn the power on

By default, the volume setting when power was previously set to standby on this unit is applied at next power on with no change. To use a fixed volume

level, set the volume level at power on for “Power On Level” in the menu. (v p. 71)

I want to have the subwoofer always output audio

Depending on the input signals and sound mode, the subwoofer may not output audio. When “Subwoofer Mode” in the menu is set to “LFE+Main”, you

can have the subwoofer always output audio. (v p. 85)

I want to set the optimized listening environment after changing the configuration/position of the speakers or changing a speaker to a new one.

Perform “Auto Setup”. This automatically makes the optimized speaker settings for the new listening environment. (v

I want to combine a desired video with the current music

Set “Video Select” in the option menu to “On”. You can combine the current music with your desired video source from Set-top Box or DVD, etc. while

listening to music from Tuner. (v p. 54)
