Notes:
• If “REAR SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to “NONE,”
— you can select only “HEAD PHONE” or “OFF” for the DSP mode.
— you cannot select Surround mode.
• No sounds come out of the center speaker, even if it is connected.
Correct
Notes:
• If “REAR SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to “NONE,” you cannot
select Surround mode.
• No sounds come out of the center speaker, even if it is connected.
• When “REAR SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to “NONE,” the
same effect as used for the 3D-PHONIC is applied to any DAP
mode to maintain the surround elements with only two front
speakers.

On page 20, in the DSP mode cycle it is written that "3D ACTION" will be selected after "HEAD PHONE,"
but the order has been changed so that "3D ACTION" will be selected before "HEAD PHONE."

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
• 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.
• 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.

FRONT SPEAKERS 1 Left speakerRight speaker
Connecting the Speakers
You can connect the following speakers:
• Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.
• One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.
• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to
emphasize human voices).
• One subwoofer to enhance the bass.
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the speakers listed above, set the speaker
setting information properly to obtain the best possible DSP
effect. For details, see page 12.
For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (–) and (+)
terminals on the rear panel to the (–) and (+) terminals marked on
the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 5.
CAUTION:
Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.

Video component connections
English
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.
IMPORT ANT:
This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input
terminals for connecting video components.
Y ou do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals.
However, remember that the video signals from the composite video
input terminal are output only through the composite video output
terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminal are output
only through the S-video output terminal.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component
are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you
cannot record the picture from the playing component on the recording
component. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are
connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot
view the playback picture from the playing component on the TV.

Digital connections
This receiver is equipped with one DIGITAL OUT terminal and
three DIGITAL IN terminals — one digital coaxial terminal and two
digital optical terminal.
You can connect any digital equipment such as DBS tuner, DVD
player, CD player, and MD recorder to one of the digital terminals
using a digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical cable
(not supplied).
IMPORTANT:
• When connecting the DVD player or the DBS tuner using the digital
terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack on the rear.
Without connecting it to the video jack, 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 “Digital Input (DIGITAL IN) Terminal Setting” on page
14.
– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting
the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 14.
DVD player, etc
Connecting the Power Cord
English
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. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect
the antenna, since it is well-shielded against 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.
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.
When the component has a digital
DVD
coaxial output terminal, connect it to
the DIGITAL 1 (DVD) terminal, using a
digital coaxial cable (not supplied).
DIGITAL 1
When the component has a digital
(DVD)
optical output terminal, connect it to
the DIGITAL 2 (CD) or DIGITAL 3

(not supplied).
Before connecting a digital
optical cable, unplug the

Notes:
• When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals has been
set for use with the following components.
– DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player
– DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player
– DIGITAL 3 (optical): For DBS tuner
• When you want to operate the CD player or MD recorder using the
COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target
component also as described in “Analog connections” (see page 5).
• When you want to operate the DVD player using the AV COMPU
LINK remote control system, connect the DVD player also as
described in “Analog connections” (see page 5).
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the receiver.

3
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2. Insert 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 R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
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.
