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 25) or manually (➔ page 62).

Front high, surround back and front wide speakers

cannot be used at the same time.

Using Powered Subwoofers

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.

■ Speaker Connection Precautions

• 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 62). 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.

Before connecting the power cord, connect all of

your speakers and AV components. A setup wizard

is launched upon first-time use to let you perform

the settings (➔ page 23).

• 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

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 FRONT HIGH/Bi-AMP 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 62).

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.

Connecting a 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 62).

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.

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.

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, re-

do 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.

• 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.

The video and audio signal flow

Connect the AV receiver between the AV

components and the TV. The signal from the AV

components is carried through the AV receiver. You

can enjoy the audio of the TV through the AV

receiver.

Video components can be connected by using any

one of the following video connection formats:

composite video, component video, or HDMI, the

latter offering the best picture quality.

Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as

shown, with composite video and component video

sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output(s).

The composite video and component video outputs

pass through their respective input signals as they

are.

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.

• For optimal video performance, THX recommends

that video signals pass through the system without

upconversion (e.g., component video input passing

through to component video output).

• To by-pass the upconversion, set the “Picture

Mode” setting to “Bypass” (➔ page 69).

Audio components can be connected by using any of

the following audio connection formats: analog,

optical, coaxial, or HDMI.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind

that the AV receiver does not convert digital input

signals for analog line outputs and vice versa.

If signals are present at more than one input, the

inputs will be selected automatically in the following

order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog.

Depends on the “Audio TV Out (Main)” or “Audio TV

Out (Sub)” setting (➔ pages 74, 75).

This is possible when “Audio Return Channel” is set to

“Auto” (➔ page 75), the TV/CD input selector is

selected, and your TV is ARC capable.

Tip

• When a signal is input via HDMI and the corresponding

input selector is selected, the HDMI indicator lights. In the

case of an optical or coaxial connection, the DIGITAL

indicator lights. If the analog audio is output, or if neither

HDMI nor digital signal inputs are assigned, ANALOG

indicator lights.

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

and

Audyssey Dynamic Volume

(➔ page 67).

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 20 minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the

number of speakers.

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

speakers are set to “80Hz(THX)” crossover (➔ page 62).

• Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of subwoofers

and the interaction with the room, THX recommends setting

the level and the distance of the subwoofer manually.

• Sometimes due to interaction with the room, you may

notice irregular results when setting the level and/or

distance of the main speakers. If this happens, THX

recommends setting them manually.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs

very low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it

may not be detected by Audyssey MultEQ Room

Correction and Speaker Setup.

If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker

Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the

subwoofer’s volume to the half-way point, set it to its

highest crossover frequency, and then try running

Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker

Setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high

and the sound distorts, detection issues may occur,

so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer

has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct.

Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for

details.
