Connecting speakers

Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.

Before connecting speakers

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. 268))

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

could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 9 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.

Front panel Display Rear panel Remote Index

NOTE

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

Ω/ohms.

1. Press and hold the main unit’s TUNER PRESET CH + and TUNE + at the same

time for at least 3 seconds.

“V.Format:< NTSC>” appears on the display.

2. Press DIMMER on the main unit three times.

3. Press TUNER PRESET CH + or TUNER PRESET CH － on the main unit to

select the impedance.

8ohms (Default):

6ohms:

4ohms:

4. Press the main unit’s STATUS to complete the setting.

Select when the impedance for all of the connected speakers is 8 Ω/ohms or over.

Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 6 Ω/ohms.

Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 4 Ω/ohms.

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.

Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.

Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the

speaker terminal.

Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.

Connecting the subwoofer

Use a subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer. Two subwoofers can be connected to this unit.

The same signal is output from the respective subwoofer terminals.

Connecting a TV

Connect a TV to this unit so that the input video is output to the TV. You can also enjoy audio from the TV on this unit. How to connect a TV depends on the connectors and functions equipped on the TV.

“Connection 1 : TV equipped with an HDMI connector and compatible with the ARC / eARC” (v p. 50)

What is ARC and eARC?

ARC (Audio Return Channel) sends audio back to this unit using the same HDMI cable that sends video from this unit to your TV. This allows this unit to process the sound from your TV’s built-in tuner and apps. TVs with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) port provide additional support for high bitrate multichannel audio (Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS:X). Please refer to your TV Owner’s Manual for details about eARC support for your particular model.

NOTE

Use a TV with a 2 prong power plug for this unit. Do not connect a TV with a 3 prong power plug, as this may cause noise.
