Speaker Connection Precautions

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 31) or manually (➔ page 47).

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• 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 47). 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.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• 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.

• 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.

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification purpose.

Speaker Color

Front left, Front high left, Front wide left, Zone 2 left

Front right, Front high right, Front wide right, Zone 2 right

Center Green Surround left Blue Surround right Gray Surround back left Brown Surround back right Tan

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

White

Red

• 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.

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 a Powered Subwoofer

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.

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 biamping. 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. Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections as shown and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the speaker

setting to enable bi-amping (➔ page 47).

Connecting a Power Amplifier

If you want to use a more powerful power amplifier, you can use the AV receiver as a preamp. Connect all speaker outputs to the power amplifier. See the manuals supplied with your amplifier for details.

Note

Specify “None” for any channel that you don’t want to output (➔ page 48). SB···Surround Back, FH···Front High, FW···Front Wide

Note

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

When USB input is selected, you can input video signals from the AUX Input Video jack.

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.

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 receiver will output signals received from the HDMI inputs instead of signals from PC IN. To have the signals output from PC IN, select “-----” for “PC” in the “HDMI Input” setting (➔ page 45).

To select the multichannel input, select the BD/DVD input selector and see “Audio Selector” (➔ page 57). To adjust the subwoofer sensitivity for the multichannel input, see “Subwoofer Input Sensitivity” (➔ page 47).

To select a preset, use Preset e/r on the AV

receiver, or the remote controller’s CH +/–.

Tip

• You can also use the remote controller’s number buttons to select a preset directly.

Using RDS (excluding North American models)

RDS works only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.

When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator lights. When the station is broadcasting text information, the text can be displayed.

■ What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).

The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:

PS (Program Service)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed. Pressing Display will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display as described in the next section.

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (➔ page 30).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (➔ page 30).

Note

• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.

• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

■ Displaying Radio Text (RT)

Press RT/PTY/TP once.

The RT information scrolls across the display.

Note

• The message “Waiting” may appear while the AV receiver waits for the RT information.

• If the message “No Text Data” appears on the display, no RT information is available.

■ Finding Stations by Type (PTY)

You can search for radio stations by type.

Press RT/PTY/TP twice.

The current program type appears on the display.

Use Preset e/r to select the type of program you

want.

See the table shown later in this chapter.

To start the search, press Enter.

The AV receiver searches until it finds a station of the type you specified, at which point it stops briefly before continuing with the search.

When a station you want to listen to is found, press

Enter.

If no stations are found, the message “Not Found” appears.

■ Listening to Traffic News (TP)

You can search for stations that broadcast traffic news.

Press RT/PTY/TP three times.

If the current radio station is broadcasting TP (Traffic Program), “[TP]” will appear on the display, and traffic news will be heard as and when it’s broadcast. If “TP” without square brackets appears, this means that the station is not broadcasting TP.

To locate a station that is broadcasting TP, press

Enter.

The AV receiver searches until it finds a station that’s broadcasting TP.

If no stations are found, the message “Not Found” appears.
