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.
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.

B. Using the Standard Type Connector (Not Supplied)
A standard type connector should be connected to the FM 75 Ω
COAXIAL terminal.
Note:
If reception is poor, connect the outdoor antenna.
Before attaching a 75
going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Notes:
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove
the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.
• 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 to
the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)
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.

each speaker signal cable (not supplied).
2 Turn the knob counterclockwise.
3 Insert the speaker signal cable.
4 Turn the knob clockwise.
Connecting the front speakers
You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT
SPEAKERS 1 terminals, and another pair to the FRONT
SPEAKERS 2 terminals).

Surround and DSP effect. For details, see page 17.
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.

IMPORTANT:
To obtain the best possible output power from the receiver, and to
prevent the receiver from being overheated, the receiver has the
SPEAKER LOAD SELECTOR which has to be set as follows:
• Set it to “HIGH” when the impedance of the front speakers
connected is within the range of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.
• Set it to “LOW” when the impedance of the front speakers
connected is within the range of 4 Ω to 6 Ω.

Connecting the rear and center speakers
Connect rear speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals and a
center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals.

Connecting Audio/Video Components
You can connect the following audio/video components to this
receiver. Refer also to the manuals supplied with your components.

• Turntable • DVD player*
• CD player* •TV*
• Cassette deck or • DBS tuner*
MD recorder* • VCR(s)
• CD recorder* • Video camera
• Personal computer (PC)
* You can connect these components using the methods described in
“Analog connections” (to the right), or in “Digital connections” (see
page 8).
Note:
Any turntables incorporating a small-output cartridge such as an MC
(moving-coil) type must be connected to this receiver through a
commercial head amplifier or step-up transformer. Direct connection
may result in insufficient volume.

Note:
You can connect either a cassette deck or an MD recorder to the
TAPE/MD jacks. When connecting an MD recorder to the TAPE/MD
jacks, change the source name, which will be shown on the display
when selected as the source, to “MD.” See page 16 for details.
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.
• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, P
B/CB, PR/CR) terminals, connect them using
an S-video cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not
supplied). By using these terminals, you can get a better picture
quality in the order — Component video > S-video > Composite
video.
IMPORTANT:
This receiver is equipped with the following video terminals —
composite video, S-video and component video terminals. You can
use any of the three to connect a video component.
However, remember that the video signals from one type of these
input terminals are output only through the video output
terminals of the same type.
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 four DIGITAL IN terminals — one
digital coaxial terminal and three digital optical terminals, and one
DIGITAL OUT terminal.
IMPORTANT:
• When connecting the DVD player, digital TV broadcast tuner or
DBS tuner using the digital terminals, you also need to connect it to
the video terminal on the rear. Without connecting it to the video
terminal, 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
19.
– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting
the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 20.
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
– DIGITAL 3 (optical): For digital TV broadcast tuner
– DIGITAL 4 (optical): For CD recorder
• When you want to operate the CD player, CD recorder, or MD
recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect
the target component also as described in “Analog Connections”
(see pages 5 and 6).
• 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 7).

Connecting the Power Cord
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
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.
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.
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the
polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F)
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.
Note:
After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again (see
page 52).
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.
