Getting started

Before Installation

General precautions

Be sure your hands are dry.

Turn the power off to all components.

Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.

Locations

Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust.

The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C and 35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F).

Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.

Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.

Handling the receiver

Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.

Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.

Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

The receiver has a built-in cooling fan which operates while the receiver is turned on. Be sure to leave enough ventilation to obtain sufficient cooling effect.

CAUTION:

Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.

Putting batteries in the remote control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.

1

2

3

1Press and slide the battery cover on the back of the remote control.

2Insert batteries.

Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3 Replace the cover.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.

Supplied batteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued use.

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.

Always replace both batteries at the same time.

Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front panel.

Checking the supplied accessories

Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories. If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Remote control (× 1)

Batteries (× 2)

AM loop antenna (× 1)

FM antenna (× 1)

Connecting the FM and AM antennas

Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.

AM loop antenna (supplied)

If FM reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not supplied).

ANTENNA

FM antenna (supplied)

FM 75

COAXIAL

ANTENNA

AM antenna connection

Connect the AM loop antenna supplied to the AM LOOP terminals.

Connect the white cord to the AM EXT terminal, and connect the black cord to the H terminal.

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM loop antenna connected.

FM antenna connection

Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal as a temporary measure.

Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.

If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable with a

connector, disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM loop antenna.

AM LOOP

If AM reception is poor, connect

an outdoor single vinyl-covered

AM EXT

wire (not supplied).

NOTES

If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown on the

right.

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.

Connecting the speakers

Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.

CAUTIONS:

Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals (6 Ω – 16 Ω).

DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.

Connecting the speakers

Turn off all components before making connections.

1Twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker cord.

2Open the terminal (1), then insert the speaker cord (2).

For each speaker, connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers.

3Close the terminal.

*When using a single speaker for the surround back speaker

You can enjoy the surround sound by one surround back speaker. When using one surround back speaker,

set “SB OUT” to “<1SPK>” (see page 17) and

connect the surround back speaker to the left surround back speaker terminal. (No sound comes from the speaker if you connect it to the right surround back speaker terminal.)

Connecting the powered subwoofer

By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in digital software.

Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cord with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

After connecting all the speakers and/or a subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible surround effect. For details, see pages 15 to 19.

NOTE

You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

6

Connecting video components

Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.

This receiver is equipped with the following video terminals— composite video, S-video, and component video terminals.

If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or component video (Y, PB, PR) jacks, connect them using an S- video cable (not supplied) or component video cable (not supplied). By using these terminals, you can get better picture quality in the order:

Component > S-video > Composite

IMPORTANT:

The video signals from one type of these input jacks are transmitted only through the video output jacks of the same type. Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the video terminals of different type, you cannot record the picture. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the video terminals of different type, you cannot view the playback picture on the TV.
