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 30 and 31).
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

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.

(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

AM Loop Antenna
(supplied)
Snap the tabs on the loop into
the slots of the base to

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.

1 Twist and remove the insulation at the end of
each speaker cord.
2 Press and hold the clamp of the speaker terminal.
3 Insert the speaker cord.
4 Release the finger from the clamp.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
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.)
For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and
(–) terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals
marked on the speakers.

Connecting the subwoofer
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).
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 (2 ft) to
90 cm (3 ft) 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.
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.
CAUTION:
If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic
equalizer between the source components and this receiver,
the sound output through this receiver may be distorted.

Getting Started
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections
have been made.
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 20.
– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see
“Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 11.
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
Note:
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
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
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:
– When you unplug the power cord.
– When a power failure occurs.
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).
When the component has a digital
optical output terminal, connect it to the
DIGITAL 2 (CD) terminal, using a digital
optical cable (not supplied).
Before connecting a digital
optical cable, unplug the
protective plug.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
• 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.

CAUTION:
Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any
sources. If the volume is set at its high level, the sudden blast
of sound energy can permanently damage your hearing and/
or ruin your speakers.
Note:
The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “0” (minimum) to
“50” (maximum).
