Place the FRONT left and right speakers an equal distance from the main listening position. The distance between each speaker and your TV should also be the same.

Place the CENTER speaker in front of and at the center of the TV, between the front left and right speakers.

Place the SURROUND left and right speakers an equal distance to the left and right sides of the main listening position. If you don’t have surround back speakers, move the surround speakers slightly behind your listening position.

Place the SURROUND BACK left and right speakers an equal distance from the main listening position and directly behind the main listening position. When using a single surround back speaker (SB), place it directly behind the listening position.

Place the FRONT HEIGHT left and right speakers just outside of the front left and right speakers. Mount them as close to the ceiling as possible and aim them towards the listening position.

Place the SUBWOOFER at a convenient location near the front speakers.

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 p. 248))

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 4 – 16 Ω/ohms.

NOTE

Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 – 6

Ω/ohms.

Press and hold the main unit’s TUNER PRESET CH + and TUNE + for at least

3 seconds.

Built-in DHCP server

This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN. Built-in 100BASE-TX switch

When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

Only use a shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable (readily available at electronics

stores). (CAT-5 or greater recommended) The normal shielded-type LAN cable is recommended.

If a flat-type cable or unshielded-type cable is used, other devices could be affected by noise.

When using a router that supports the WPS （Wi-Fi Protected Setup） function, Wi-

Fi connection can be carried out easily. When using this unit connected to a network with no DHCP function, configure the

IP address, etc. in “Network” (v

NOTE

The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact your ISP or a

computer shop for details. This unit is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE compatible router is required if
