Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have. No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass. To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings automatically (➔ page 23) or manually (➔ page 54).

Connections

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

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively. The same signal is output from each jack.

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.

• By default, speakers for 7.1-channel surround are configured to use: front right/front left/center/ surround right/surround left/surround back right/ surround back left/subwoofer.

■ Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm)

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

En-12

■ Speaker Connection Precautions

• (North American models) You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.

• (Australian models) You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms” (➔ page 53). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

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 receiver is able to drive up to a 5.1 speaker system in the main room.

Perform bi-amping connections by using FRONT terminals and SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH terminals as shown below. Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the speaker setting to enable bi-amping (➔ page 54).

player, etc.

En-14

Tip

• To listen to the audio of a component connected via HDMI through your TV’s speakers, enable “HDMI Through” (

➔ page 64) and set the AV receiver to standby mode.

• In the case of Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, if no sound is output despite following the above-mentioned procedure, set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio settings to PCM.

• 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 receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

■ MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link)

With its support for MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link), HDMI IN 1 allows you to deliver high-definition video from a connected mobile device.

Connecting to the Network (Optional)

The following diagram shows how you can connect the AV receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in. Network connection by wireless LAN is possible. See “Performing Wireless LAN Setup” for connections (➔ page 26).

The AV receiver allows interoperability of the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) specified in the HDMI standard, which is known as RIHD. Various linked operations can be performed by connecting the AV receiver to an RIHD-compatible TV, player, or recorder.

Default setting is set to off, so it is required to change the setting to on.

Perform this setting after the initial setup.

About RIHD-compatible components

The following components are p-compatible (As of January 2013).

■ TV

•Sharp TV

■ Players/Recorders

• Onkyo and Integra p-compatible players

• Toshiba players and recorders

• Sharp players and recorders (only when used together with Sharp TV)

Models other than those mentioned above may have some interoperability if compatible with CEC, which is part of the HDMI Standard, but operation cannot be guaranteed.

Note

• For proper linked operations, do not connect more p-compatible components than the quantities

specified below, to the HDMI input terminal. – Blu-ray Disc/DVD players: up to three. – Blu-ray Disc/DVD recorders/Digital Video Recorders: up

to three.

– Cable/Satellite Set-top boxes: up to four.

• Do not connect the AV receiver to another AV receiver/AV amplifier via HDMI.

• Proper linked operations are not guaranteed when more p-compatible components than the above-

mentioned quantities are connected.

Operations that can be performed with RIHD connection

■ For p-compatible TV

The following linked operations are enabled by connecting the AV receiver to an p-compatible

TV.

• The AV receiver will enter standby mode when the TV is set to standby.

• You can set on the menu screen of the TV to either output the audio from the speakers connected to the AV receiver, or from the speakers of the TV.

• It is possible to output the audio coming from the tuner or auxiliary input of your TV to the speakers of the AV receiver. (A connection such as an optical digital cable or similar is required in addition to the HDMI cable.)

• Input to the AV receiver can be selected with the remote controller of the TV.

• Operations such as volume adjustment or similar for the AV receiver can be performed from the remote controller of the TV.

■ For p-compatible players/recorders

The following linked operations are enabled by connecting the AV receiver to an p-compatible

player/recorder.

• When playback is started on the player/recorder, AV receiver will switch to the HDMI input of the player/recorder that is playing back.

• Operation of the player/recorder is possible using the remote controller supplied with the AV receiver.

Depending on the model used, not all operations may be available.

Note

• Do not assign an HDMI IN to the TV/CD selector at this time, otherwise appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation will not be guaranteed.

Confirm the settings

1. Turn on the power for all connected components.

2. Turn off the power of the TV, and confirm that the power of the connected components is turned off automatically with the link operation.

3. Turn on the power of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder.

4. Start playback on the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder, and verify the following:

• The AV receiver automatically turns on, and

selects the input to which the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder is connected.

• The TV automatically turns on, and selects the

input to which the AV receiver is connected.

5. Following the operating instructions of the TV, select “Use the TV speakers” from the menu screen of the TV, and confirm that the audio is output from the speakers of the TV, and not from the speakers connected to the AV receiver.

6. Select “Use the speakers connected from the AV receiver” from the menu screen of the TV, and confirm that the audio is output from the speakers connected to the AV receiver, and not from the TV speakers.

Note

• Audio from DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD may not output

from the TV speakers. You will be able to output the audio from the TV speakers by setting the audio output of the DVD player to 2ch PCM. (It may not be possible depending on the player models.)

• Even if you set to output audio on the TV speakers, audio

will be output from the speakers connected to the AV receiver when you adjust the volume or switch the input on the AV receiver. To output audio from the TV speakers, redo the corresponding operations on the TV.

• In case of an p connection with u and u audio

control compatible components, do not connect the u cable at the same time.

Connections

• On the TV, when you select anything other than the HDMI jack to which the AV receiver is connected, the input on the AV receiver will be switched to “TV/CD”.

• The AV receiver will automatically power on in conjunction when it determines it to be necessary. Even if the AV

receiver is connected to an p compatible TV or player/recorder, it will not power on if it is not necessary. It may not power on in conjunction when the TV is set to output audio from the TV.

• Linked functions with the AV receiver may not work depending on the component model connected. In such cases, operate the AV receiver directly.

Note

• In order for the AV receiver to upconvert component input to HDMI output, the source output must be set to 480i/576i. When signal is input at resolution of 480p/576p and more, error message will be displayed.

■ Signal Selection

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, composite video.

However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present.

In the Signal Selection Example shown below, video signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video inputs. However, the HDMI signal is automatically selected as the source and the video is output by the HDMI outputs.

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey MultEQ® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey MultEQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey MultEQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ Audyssey Dynamic Volume Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. Audyssey MultEQ offers two ways of measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey MultEQ Full Calibration”.

•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one position to perform the speaker setting only.

•“Audyssey MultEQ Full Calibration” uses the measurement from six positions to correct room response in addition to the speaker setting.

The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using a measurement from six positions to create the best listening environment.

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 15 minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

and

(➔ page 57).

Measurement procedure

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to six positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

■ First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. Audyssey MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

■ Second-sixth measurement positions

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up to six positions.
