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.

A.Using the Supplied FM Antenna

The FM antenna provided can be connected to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.

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 Ω coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)

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 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.

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the speakers listed above, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible 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.

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, PB/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.
