Specs

Featuring a sophisticated power amplifier design, this unit delivers highpower performance at 140 watts per channel (8 Ω/ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, T.H.D.: 0.05 %, 2ch. driven) to ensure a dynamic and precise entertainment experience. Low impedance drivers provide operational stability for a wide range of speakers and create a balanced, tonal sound.

Dolby Atmos (v p. 331)

This unit is equipped with a decoder that supports Dolby Atmos audio format. The placement or movement of sound is accurately reproduced by the addition of overhead speakers, enabling you to experience an incredibly natural and realistic surround sound field.

Speaker Virtualizer is not for use when both height speakers and surround

speakers are connected.

Height Virtualization may be applied when surround speakers are connected.

DTS:X (v p. 334)

This unit is equipped with the DTS:X decoder technology. DTS:X brings the home theater experience to new heights with its immersive object based audio technology which removes the bounds of channels. The flexibility of objects allows for sound to be scaled large or small and moved around the room with greater accuracy than ever before leading to a richer immersive audio experience.

DTS Virtual:X (v p. 335)

DTS Virtual:X technology features DTS’s proprietary virtual height and virtual surround processing to deliver an immersive sound experience from any type of input source (stereo to 7.1.4 channel) and speaker configuration.

DTS has developed a special method for reproducing an IMAX signature sound experience in the consumer’s home. This method combines a unique conversion process for IMAX theatrical audio mixes utilizing an enhanced DTS codec technology. The IMAX theatrical audio format with point source surround speakers closely matches the speaker configuration most consumers have in their homes today. Coupled with DTS audio technology, IMAX Enhanced audio products will ensure the best and most accurate audio reproduction over 5.1 or more speaker channels.

Audyssey LFC™ (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 203)

Audyssey LFC™ solves the problem of low frequency sounds disturbing people in neighboring rooms or apartments. Audyssey LFC™ dynamically monitors the audio content and removes the low frequencies that pass through walls, floors and ceilings. It then applies psychoacoustic processing to restore the perception of low bass for listeners in the room. The result is great sound that no longer disturbs the neighbors.

Discrete subwoofers and Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ (v p. 228)

The unit has two subwoofer output capability and can adjust the level and delay for each subwoofer individually. Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ makes the integration seamless by first compensating for any level and delay differences between the two subwoofers and then applying Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to both subwoofers together for improved deep bass response and detail.

This unit is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X which offers an even wider

and deeper surround sensation. The “Speaker Virtualizer” must be set to “On” for Dolby Atmos playback with 5.1-

channel speaker configurations or less. (v p. 193) IMAX DTS:X / DTS:X can be selected regardless of the speaker configuration.

Auro-3D recommends adding FRONT HEIGHT and SURROUND HEIGHT

speakers to a 5.1 speaker configuration. Optionally, you may substitute REAR HEIGHT, Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers instead of FRONT HEIGHT and SURROUND HEIGHT speakers for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D playback.

Use the illustration below as a guide for how high each speaker should be

installed. The height does not need to be exactly the same.

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. 339))

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.

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.

To use two subwoofers, set “Subwoofer” to “2 spkrs” in the “Speaker Config.” setting. (v p. 247)

The level and distance can be set separately for Subwoofer 1 and Subwoofer 2.

Bi-amp connection

9.1-channel playback (bi-amp connection of front speakers)

This system plays back 9.1-channels. You can use the bi-amp connection for front speakers. Bi-amp connection is a method to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminal and woofer terminal of a speaker that supports bi-amplification. This connection enables back EMF (power returned without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a higher sound quality.

NOTE

When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or

wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.

The height speakers, ceiling speakers and Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers can

be connected to the HEIGHT1 speaker terminals. Set the speaker to be connected from “Height” - “Layout” in the menu. (v p. 242)

Connecting a turntable

This unit is compatible with turntables equipped with a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge. When you connect to a turntable with a low output moving coil (MC) cartridge, use a commercially available MC head amp or a step-up transformer.

If you set this unit’s input source to “Phono” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise from the speakers.

NOTE

The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety grounding

purposes. If this terminal is connected when there is a lot of noise, the noise can be reduced. Note that depending on the turntable, connecting the ground line may have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary to connect the ground line.

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 this unit connected to a network with no DHCP function, configure the

IP address, etc. in “Network”. (v p. 261)

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

your contracted line is not set using PPPoE. Do not connect a NETWORK connector directly to the LAN port / Ethernet

connector on your computer. Various online services may be discontinued without prior notice.
