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 (23˚F and 95˚F).
• 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.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
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.
Notes:
• Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued
use.
• 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

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.

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.
