Cautions on Handling

Before turning the power switch on

•
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.

Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is

•
set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.

Image persistence (image burn-in)

•
Do not leave the still images of the disc menu, the unit menu, etc.,
displayed on the TV screen for long periods. This can result in image
persistence (image burn-in) on the screen.

About Condensation

•
If this unit is moved from a cold place to a warm place, or installed
in a room subject to rapid temperature rise from a heater, etc.,
condensation (dew) may form on the internal parts of the unit
(operating parts and lenses).
If used in this condition, this unit will not operate correctly and
damage may result. If condensation is formed on the unit, leave this
unit for 1 to 2 hours with the power off before use.

Cautions on using mobile phones

•
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

Moving the unit

•
Be sure to remove a disc, turn off the power and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables
to other system equipment before moving the unit.

About Care

•

Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.

•

Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.

•

Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as

•

insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought
into contact with the unit, and should, therefore, not be used.

Sufficiently ventilate the place of installation

•
If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for
long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get dirty,
in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.

Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the

•
actual unit for explanation purposes.

About Setup Microphone Placement

Measurements are performed by placing the setup 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 effective correction.

Troubleshooting

Spec. Index

If the result differs from the actual connection status, or if “Caution!” is

•
displayed, see “Error Messages” (vpage 9). Then carry out Audyssey Auto
Setup again.
If the result still differs from the actual connection status after remeasurement

•
or the error message still appears, it is possible that the speakers are not
connected properly. Turn this unit off, check the speaker connections and
repeat the measurement process from the beginning.
If you change a speaker position or orientation, perform Audyssey Auto Setup

again to obtain optimal equalizer correction.

The “Simple Version” describes the installation, connection and setup methods for 5.1-channel speakers.

About the Main Listening Position (*M)

n

The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally
sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment.
Audyssey MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the
subwoofer.

NOTE

Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand

•
during measurements.
Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a

•
seat back or wall as sound reflections may give
inaccurate results.

About HDMI Cables

•

Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI
connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI
logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).

•

When a device supporting Deep Color signal transfer is connected, use a cable compatible with HDMI
version 1.3a.

•

When outputting Deep Color or 1080p, etc., we recommend you use High Speed HDMI cable for
enhanced high-quality playback.

•

This unit supports “Deep Color” and “x.v.Color”. For details about “Deep Color” and “x.v.Color”, see
page 72, 74.

Copyright protection system

In order to play back digital video and audio such as BD-Video or DVD-Video via HDMI connection, both
this unit and TV need to support the copyright protection system known as HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright protection technology comprised of data
encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP.

If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio are not output correctly. Read

•
the owner’s manual of your television for more information.

About ARC (Audio Return Channel) Function

n

The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data
“upstream” to this unit, increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF
audio connection.

NOTE

Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been completed.

•
When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components being

•
connected.
Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).

•
Do not bundle power cords together with connection cables. Doing so can result in noise.
