Connect them to the corresponding video jacks according to their capability.

• For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows : “HDMI” > “COMPONENT” > “(composite) VIDEO” .

• When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y” to “Y”, “Cb” to “Cb” (or “B-Y”, “P

• To hear the sound that the BD player reproduces from the speakers of your TV, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to the AUDIO IN jacks of the TV.

Notes :

■

• You don’t need to make all kinds of video connections between this unit and your TV.

• Do not connect the unit to the TV through a VCR. Otherwise the picture may be disturbed due to the copy protection function.

• If the resolutions of the video signals which are output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTs and the HDMI OUT and your TV are not matched, the picture is not clear, natural or displayed. To prevent it, you should set the resolution to one which the TV can handle. (For details, refer to “Video output resolution” below and “SETTING THE DISPLAY” on page 42.)

• To output the digital audio signals from the HDMI OUT to hear the sound that the BD player reproduces from the speakers of your TV, you should set the HDMI Output to On (Auto). (For details, refer to “SETTING THE AUDIO” on page 43.)

• For stable signal transfer, we recommend using HDMI cords that are a maximum of 5 meters in length.

• Among the components that support HDMI, some components can control other components via the HDMI connector. However, this unit cannot be controlled by another component via the HDMI connector.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the component that is connected.

■

• This unit supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), technology to protect copyright of digital video signals against illegal duplication. HDCP must also be supported on the components connected to this unit.

• This unit is HDMI Ver. 1.3 compatible.

: • When the COMPONENT OUTs and the HDMI OUT are connected to your TV, the video signals of 480i(NTSC)(or

576i(PAL)) will be output.

: • When the HDMI OUT is not connected to your TV and the copy protected DVD Videos are played, the video signals of

480p(or 576p) will be output.

Notes :

■

• If the resolution of video signal to be output from COMPONENT OUTs or HDMI OUT does not match that of your TV, the picture is not clear, natural or displayed.

Should this happen, first make (composite) video connection between this unit and TV, and select the (composite) VIDEO

as an input source on the TV to display the setting menu, then set the Resolution correctly. (For details on the resolution acceptable for your TV, refer to its operating instructions.)

• When the HDMI OUT connector is connected to your TV, the TV reports to this unit what resolutions it supports. Therefore, if you set the Resolution to HDMI Auto, this unit outputs the video signals of the highest resolution acceptable for your TV.

In this case, you cannot select the resolution inacceptable for your TV.

sure to use a 75 Ω COAXIAL cord, not a conventional AUDIO cord.

Notes :

■

• Be sure to make either a OPTICAL or a COAXIAL DIGITAL connection on each component. (You don’t need to do both.)

• If you connect the DIGITAL INs to your components, you should assign the DIGITAL INs correctly. (For details, refer to “When SAT, TV, AUX is selected as an input source” on page 14.)

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according to the channel (left and right) and the polarity (+ and -). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be

heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

• For installing the speakers, refer to “Speaker placement” on page 8.

• After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout. (For details, refer to “Setting the speaker setup” on page

20.)

• Depending on whether the type of your subwoofer is the passive subwoofer or active (powered) subwoofer, connect it as follows :

* Connect the SUBWOOFER terminals to the

passive subwoofer.

* Connect the SUBWOOFER PREOUT jack

to the active subwoofer. (For details, refer to “CONNECTING PREOUTs” below.)

Caution :

• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms or above.

CONNECTING PREOUTs

• Use these jacks when adding additional speakers for

7.1 or 6.1 channel playback.

• Connect the SURROUND BACK PREOUT jacks to the power amplifier connected to speakers.

• When using only one surround back speaker, connect the SURROUND BACK Left jack to the power amplifier.

• To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER PREOUT jack.

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows :

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

■

• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.

• Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.

• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the main listening position.

Powered subwoofer

Power amplifier

Surround back speakers

Surround left and right speakers

■

• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.

Surround back left and right speakers

■

• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the front at a narrower distance than front speakers.

• When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.

• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.

Subwoofer

■

• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.

Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.

Notes :

■

• When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front

left and right and center speakers.

• To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.
