Getting Started
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the
power supply.
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.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
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 connect the AC power cord until all other connections
have been made.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Notes:
• Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued
use.
• For RX-6042S: After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’
codes again (see pages 35 and 36).
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.
Connecting the FM and AM Antennas
FM antenna connections

B
Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are
supplied with the receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces
supplied.
• Remote Control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM Loop Antenna (1)
• FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, insert the two supplied batteries first.

1 Press and slide the battery cover on the back of
the remote control.
2 Insert the batteries.
• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3 Replace the cover.
If the remote control cannot transmit signals or operate the receiver
correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type
dry-cell batteries.
Extend the supplied FM antenna
horizontally.
FM Antenna
(supplied)
Outdoor FM Antenna Cable
(not supplied)
Connect the supplied FM antenna as temporary measure to the
FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal—A
If reception is poor, connect the outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied)—B
1 Disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
2 Connect a 75 Ω coaxial cable with the standard type connector
(IEC or DIN45325).

Notes:
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl,
remove the vinyl by twisting it as illustrated.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire
(not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna
connected.)
Connecting the Speakers and Subwoofer
You can connect five speakers (a pair of front speakers, a center
speaker, and a pair of surround speakers) and a subwoofer.
CAUTIONS:
• Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE
indicated by the speaker terminals.
• Do not connect more than one speaker to each speaker
terminal.

You can enhance the bass by connecting a subwoofer.
Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the rear panel,
using a cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connecting Audio/Video Components
When connecting individual components, refer also to the manuals
supplied with them.
Analog Connections
Audio component connections
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
• Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, and the red plug to
the audio right jack.
If your audio components have a COMPU LINK jack
See also page 30 for detailed information about the connection
and the COMPU LINK remote control system.
Powered subwoofer
Placing speakers
Front speakers (L/R) and center speaker (C)
• Place these speakers at the same height from the floor, at or near
ear level.
• Array across the front of the viewing area.
Surround speakers (LS/RS)
• Place these speakers alongside and slightly to the rear of (but not
behind) the listening position; well above ear level (60 cm to 90
cm higher).
• Point these speakers directly across the listening area, but not at
the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer (S.WFR)
• You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is nondirectional. Normally place it in front of you.

CAUTION:
If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic

Video component connections
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the
audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.
• For RX-6042S: If your video components have the video input/
output jacks of different types, connect them by using these jacks,
you can get better picture quality in the order:
Component video > S-video > Composite video
However, the video signals from one type of these input jacks
are transmitted only through the video output jacks of the
same type.
If your video components have an AV COMPU LINK jack

Getting Started
Digital Connections
By connecting the receiver and the source component through the
digital terminals, sound reproduction quality will be much improved.
In addition, you can enjoy multi-channel reproduction and some
other convenient functions.
IMPORTANT:
• When connecting a video component using the digital
terminals, you also need to connect it to the video jacks on
the rear. Without connecting it to the video jacks, you can
view no playback picture.
• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN
terminals, set the following correctly if necessary.
– Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly.
For details, see “Setting the Digital Input Terminals” on
page 22.
– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see
“Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 13.
Digital input terminals
You can connect any digital components having coaxial or optical
digital output terminal.
Digital coaxial cable (not supplied)
between digital coaxial terminals
Digital optical cable (not supplied)
between digital optical terminals
When the component has a digital
coaxial output terminal, connect it to
the DIGITAL 1 (DVD) terminal, using a
digital coaxial cable (not supplied).
Notes:
• When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have
been set for use with the following components:
– DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player
– DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player
Only for RX-6042S:
– DIGITAL 3 (optical): For digital TV broadcast tuner
• When you want to operate the CD player or CD recorder using the
COMPU LINK remote control system (see page 30), connect it also
as described in “Analog Connections” (see page 7).
• When you want to operate a DVD player or TV using the AV
COMPU LINK remote control system (see page 31), connect it also
as described in “Video component connections” of “Analog
Connections” (see pages 8 and 9).
Connecting the Power Cord
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have been made.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference.
Note:
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment
