This unit supports speakers with 4 Ω to 16 Ω impedance. For speaker impedance, check the speaker instruction manual.

 (Note) Speaker Impedance

If any of the speakers to be connected has an impedance of 4 Ω or more and less than 6 Ω, set "Speaker Impedance" to "4ohms" for "Speaker Setup" in the Initial Setup section ( →p142). When setting "Speaker Impedance" from the Setup menu, press on the remote controller, and set "2. Speaker" - "Conguration" - "Speaker Impedance" ( →p113) to "4ohms".

 Connect the Speaker Cables

1/2˝

(12 mm)

Make correct connection between the unit's jacks and speaker's jacks (+ side to + side, and - side to - side) for each channel. If the connection is wrong, a bass

sound will not be reproduced properly due to reverse phase. Twist the wires exposed from the tip of the speaker cable so that the wires do not stick out of the speaker terminal when connecting. If the exposed wires touch the rear panel, or the + side and – side wires touch each other, a malfunction may occur.

Notes regarding connections with HDMI cables

Connections

HDMI (High-Denition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface standard for

connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc players, game consoles, and other video components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and digital audio.

Connections

Push HDMI cables straight in and all the way. You can damage the terminals if you try to insert at an angle.

 (Note) Placement of cables

Putting a load on HDMI cables can lead to poor operational performance. Place the cables so there is no load put on them.

Right Wrong Wrong

• When 4K high-quality video (4K 60Hz, 4K HDR, etc.) is to be played, use

Premium High Speed HDMI Cable or Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet that have the "PREMIUM Certied Cable" label attached to the packaging.

• When 8K high-quality video (8K 60Hz, etc.) is to be played, use ULTRA High

Speed HDMI Cable that has the "ULTRA HIGH SPEED" label attached to the packaging.

• Hold the terminal housing on the HDMI cable when unplugging. Pulling on the cable may lead to damaged cabling.

Connecting the TV

By connecting a TV to this unit, you can show the video from AV devices connected to this unit on the TV and also play the sound from the TV through this unit.

To ARC/eARC TV

If the TV supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function(*), use only the HDMI cable to connect with the TV. Use the ARC-compatible HDMI IN jack of the TV for connection. You connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack labeled "ARC" on the receiver side.

• When a TV compatible with the eARC function is connected, use an HDMI cable that supports Ethernet.

ARC TV

To Non-ARC TV

If the TV does not support the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function(*), connect

an HDMI cable and digital optical cable. If the TV does not have a DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jack, you can use an analog audio cable to connect with the AUDIO IN TV jack.

• If you use a cable set-top box, etc. connected to the input jack of this unit to watch TV (without using a TV’s built-in tuner), connection with a digital optical cable or analog audio cable is not required.

Setup

• When not using the ARC function, press on the remote controller, then set "6. Hardware" - "HDMI" - "Audio Return Channel (eARC supported)"

( →p125) to "Off".

(*)The ARC function and eARC function transmit the audio signals of the TV via

an HDMI cable, and plays the audio of the TV on this unit. To check if the TV supports the ARC function and eARC function, refer to the instruction manual of the TV, etc. ARC/eARC compatible audio formats ( →p184)

• Settings are required when 4K or 8K high-quality video is to be played.

Refer to "HDMI 4K/8K Signal Format" ( →p108) for information on the settings. Also, use an HDMI cable that supports 4K or 8K video.

Connecting a BD/DVD without HDMI Jack Mounted

Note

This is a connection example of an AV component unequipped with an HDMI jack. Select cables that match the jacks of the AV component for connection. For example, when video input is connected to the BD/DVD jack, connect the audio input to BD/DVD jack, too. Thus, video input jacks and audio input jacks should have the same name for connection. Note that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jack are converted to HDMI video signals, and then output from the HDMI OUT jack.

• To enjoy digital surround playback in formats such as Dolby Digital, you need to make a connection for audio signals with a digital coaxial cable or a digital optical cable.

• According to the illustration, changing the input assignment ( →p110) enables connection to jacks other than the BD/DVD jack.

• The COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks are compatible only with 480i or 576i

resolution. When connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks, set the

output resolution of the player to 480i or 576i. If there is no option such as 480i, select interlace. If your player does not support 480i or 576i output, use

the VIDEO IN jack.

Terminal

Connections

You can enjoy 2 ch audio in the separate room (Zone 3) while performing playback in the main room (where this unit is located). Use an analog audio cable to connect the ZONE 3 PRE/LINE OUT jacks on this unit to the input jack

on an integrated amplier in the separate room.

• To output audio from an externally connected AV component to ZONE 3,

use an analog audio cable for connection. Note that ZONE 3 output is not possible with the connection using a HDMI cable, digital coaxial cable, or digital optical cable.

Setup

• With speaker combinations ( →p181) 2.1.2 ch, 3.1.2 ch, 4.1.2 ch, or 5.1.2 ch, this function cannot be used when using Bi-AMP or ZONE 2 (ZONE

SPEAKER). However, when a power amplier without a volume control is

connected to the ZONE 3 PRE/LINE OUT terminals, it is possible to use ZONE 2 (ZONE SPEAKER) and ZONE 3 (ZONE SPEAKER).

• When connecting an integrated amplier that has an external volume control, set "7. Multi Zone" - "Zone 3" - "Output Level" ( →p137) to "Fixed (Default Value)" on the Setup menu. If your external amplier does not have

an external volume control please set this at "Variable". If you do not set this, the volume output will be very loud and there is a danger of damage to the

integrated amplier, speakers, etc.
