Installation procedure
This unit can be used in a number of ways, depending on
the layout of the speakers you are installing, and the
connections made to external devices. Read the following
to help make the installation process smoother.
Step1: Speaker Layout
Select the speaker layout that suits the types of speakers
you have and the conditions they will be used in from the
choices presented on pages P8 to P12, then install the
speakers by referring to the illustrations and explanations
on the relevant page. Speaker layouts include systems that
use surround back speakers, systems that use height
speakers, and systems that use Bi-Amping speakers. Also
refer to the combinations available in "Speaker
combinations" on P13.
Step2: Connecting Speakers via a Power
Amplifier
To connect this unit to the power amplifier and speaker
systems, refer to P14 to P15 if you are using a speaker
layout described on one of P8 to P11, and to P16 to use a
speaker layout using Bi-Amping speakers described on
P12. The connection process will be smoother if you refer
to the illustrations and explanations and prepare the
required cables before hand.
Step3: Connect the TV & AV Components
Refer to P17 to P25 to connect your external devices such
as your TV, Blu-ray Disc Player, and also supplied
accessories such as the antennas. Also, P22 to P24
introduces the Multi-zone Connection option that allows you
to play video or audio into rooms other than the main room.
The connection process will be smoother if you refer to the
illustrations and explanations, confirm the connection types
on the external devices, and prepare the required cables
before hand.

7.1 Channel System
Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center
speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and vocals.
Surround speakers create back sound field. Powered
subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound
field.
This basic 5.1 Channel System with surround back
speakers added is called a 7.1 Channel System. The
connection of surround back speakers improves the sense
of envelopment and connectivity of sound created by the
back sound field and provides a more real sound field.
Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, you can
select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the
most up-to-date 3D sound, when the input format is Dolby
Atmos.
The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while
the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear
height. Center speaker should be set up facing the listening
position. Placing the powered subwoofer between the
center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural
sound even when playing music. The optimal positioning is
for surround back speakers to be at ear height.
0 If you are including surround back speakers in the setup,
surround speakers are required.

Front high speakers or rear high speakers should be
situated at least 3´/0.9 m higher than the front speakers.
Front high speakers should be situated directly above the
