• 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.
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 24).
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• 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

■ 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 63). 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.
Connections
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 7.1 speaker system in the main room.
Perform bi-amping connections by using FRONT
terminals and 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 63).
Note
• If the “11ch Playback” setting is set to “Yes”, no sound is
output from the FRONT WIDE terminals.

Using Speakers Without Crossover Network
Important:
• Speakers without crossover network are speakers with no built-in crossover network.
• With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to connect tweeters and
woofers the wrong way around, as this may damage your speakers.
• With speakers without crossover network, be careful NOT to set “Speakers Type(Front)”
to “Bi-Amp” as this may damage your speakers. Make sure that this setting is set to
“Digital Crossover”.
• Confirm that your speakers are without crossover network by referring to your speaker
manual.
Connecting speakers without crossover network provide a fine, three-dimensional
sound field that extends bass and treble performance to the fullest extent. When
speakers without crossover network are used, the AV receiver is able to drive up
to a 7.1 speaker system in the main room.
Connect the FRONT (LOW FREQUENCY) terminals and the speaker’s Woofer
(low) terminals, and FRONT HIGH (HIGH FREQUENCY) terminals and the
speaker’s Tweeter (high) terminals as shown below.
You must enable “Digital Crossover” in “Speakers Type(Front)” (➔ page 63)
and make the settings of “Digital Processing Crossover Network” (➔ page 66).
Note
• You need to make the setting before connecting the speakers.
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
TV/screen
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
a a
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.

About RIHD
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.

■ 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/HDBaseT outputs.

• To by-pass the upconversion, set the “Picture Mode” setting to “Bypass” (➔ page 72).
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.

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup
With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey MultEQ®XT32 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 XT32 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 XT32 can be used with
Audyssey Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic Volume® (➔ page 70).
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 offers two ways of
measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and
“Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Full Calibration”.
•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement
from one position to perform the speaker setting
only.
•“Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Full Calibration” uses
the measurement from eight 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 eight
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.
®
and
Measurement procedure
To create a listening environment in your home
theater that all listeners will enjoy,
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 takes measurements at up to
eight 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 XT32 uses the measurements
from this position to calculate speaker distance, level,
and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
■ Second-eighth measurement positions
These are the other listening positions (i.e., the
places where the other listeners will sit). You can
measure up to eight positions.

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 XT32
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 XT32 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.

Performing Wireless LAN Setup
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a local area network that
relies on wireless communication.
To achieve a wireless network connection, you will
need the following component:
■ Access point
Also known as the base station, it links your AV
receiver (wireless client) with a PC or network.
Access points fall into two categories: the bridge
type that only performs data relay in a local area
network, or the router type that has a built-in router
functionality.
To achieve a wireless network connection, it is
necessary to perform the wireless LAN setup. The
setup can be done either automatically or manually.
You use your AV receiver as a wireless client
(wireless terminal) and connect it to a PC or to the
Internet.
