7. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by the dealer from whom you purchased this unit.

8. Handling Notes

• If you need to transport this unit, use the original

packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.

• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for

a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.

• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after prolonged use. This is normal.

• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

Connections

Connecting the AV Controller

Connecting Your Speakers

The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier. You connect the AV controller’s PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier’s inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier’s speakers terminals. Speaker settings such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.

Connecting a Power Amplifier via RCA Jacks

You can connect the AV controller to a multichannel power amplifier via RCA jacks by using a multichannel RCA audio cable or several stereo RCA audio cables.

See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround back speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions. Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround dipole speakers (a) should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speakers (b) should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

TV/screen

Using Powered Subwoofers

■ Connection via RCA Jacks

You can connect the powered subwoofers to SW1 PRE OUT and SW2 PRE OUT respectively.

The level and distance can be set individually for each output. If you’re using only one subwoofer, connect it to SW1 PRE

OUT.

LINE INPUT

Powered subwoofers

■ Connection visa XLR Jacks

You can also connect the powered subwoofers to

SUBWOOFER 1 PRE OUT and SUBWOOFER 2 PRE OUT respectively, by using balanced XLR cables.

The level and distance can be set individually for each output. If you’re using only one subwoofer, connect it to SUBWOOFER 1 PRE OUT.

To find the best position for your subwoofers while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofers at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

Tip

• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

Important:

• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.

• Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble performance. When bi-amping is used, the AV controller is able to drive up to a 7.2 speaker system in the main room. Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections as shown and turned on the AV controller, you must set the speaker

setting to enable bi-amping (➔ page 52). See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.

Note

Do not connect the AV controller’s USB port to a USB port on your computer. Music on your computer cannot be played through the AV controller in this way.

Connect a turntable (MM) that has a built-in phono preamp to TV/CD IN, or connect it to PHONO IN with the phono preamp turned off. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have a phono preamp, connect it to PHONO IN. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer to connect to PHONO IN. See your turntable’s manual for details. If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV controller’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select the PC input selector, the video of the personal computer is output from the HDMI outputs. However, if you have assigned the HDMI inputs to the PC input selector, the AV controller will output signals received from the HDMI inputs instead of signals from PC IN, based on the priority order of HDMI > component video > PC IN (analog RGB). To have the signals output from PC IN, select “-----” for “PC” in the “HDMI Input” setting (➔ page 50).

Before using the balanced input, you must assign it to an input selector. See “Balance” (➔ page 52) for details. To select the balanced input, see “Audio Selector” (➔ page 63). The AV controller’s balanced INPUT jacks are wired as shown.

Before using the multichannel input, you must assign it to an input selector. See “Multich” (➔ page 51) for details. To select the multichannel input, see “Audio Selector” (➔ page 63). To adjust the subwoofer sensitivity of the multichannel input, see “Subwoofer Input Sensitivity” (➔ page 52).

• With connection E, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To record or listen the audio in Zone 2/3 as well, use E

H.)

and

• With connection

H, you can listen to and record audio from external components while you are in Zone 2/3.

• With connection H, if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player has both the main stereo and multichannel outputs, be sure to connect to the main stereo.

■ How to record a video source

With the connections described above, you cannot record the videos through the AV controller. See “Recording” about connections for video recording (➔ page 47).
