Setting up the system

CAUTION

Make sure that the power cord plug is disconnected from the AC wall outlet before proceeding to connections. Also be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the AC wall outlet before changing connections. For the connections of other system components, see pages 9 to 18.

When connecting an associated system component, be sure to read

its instruction manual.

Microcomputer malfunction

If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears,even though all connections have been made properly, reset the micro computer referring to "In case of difficulty". P

Notes

1.Be sure to turn off the system components before connecting them.

2.Be sure to insert every connection cable completely into the jack. Incomplete connection may result in absence of audio output or production of noise.

3.Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet before inserting or removing a connection cable.

4.Installation of outdoor antenna is a dangerous work. Please have your dealer or a specialized technician install it.

5.Select the speaker installation locations with care. If a speaker is installed near a source of magnetism including a magnet, the mutual interference with the speaker may produce color irregularities on the TV screen.

Analog audio connections

Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have 2 plugs on each end,one red for the right channel and one white for the left channel.

These cables are to be prepared separately by the user.

CAUTION

Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be

blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

÷Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the unit.

÷Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown

below.
Top panel	: 50 cm
Side panel	: 10 cm

Connecting the speakers

For U.S.A. and Canada

CAUTION

Make sure that the power cord plug is disconnected from the AC wall outlet before proceeding to speaker cord connections.

If the conductor wires on the extremity of speaker cord are untwisted, there is a risk of short-circuiting. Be sure to twist them well before connecting the speaker cord.

Whether each speaker is connected properly can be confirmed by outputting the test tone and checking if each speaker channel outputs audio. For details, see "Speaker settings" (Step 6 Adjust the speaker volume level). §

If the provided speaker cords are too short, they can be replaced with commercially available speaker cords [AWG24-18 standard (conductor section diameter 0.511 to 1.024 mm(0.02 to 0.04 in.))]. When using commercially available speaker cords, strip the vinyl coating on the end of each cord by about 1 cm (0.39 in.) and twist the conductor wires so that they are not disentangled.

Attaching the speaker cord connectors;

Connect each speaker cord by matching the color of the connector with that of the terminal to which the speaker cord is to be connected.

	Connected speaker	Connector	Connected

	Center speaker	Green	CENTER
	Surround speaker (Right)	Grey	SURR R

While applying the projected part of the connector against a hard desktop, etc., insert the conductor sections of the speaker cord into the connector.

¶After attaching the speaker cord connector, hold it and pull the speaker cord lightly to ensure that it will not come out.

Connect the connector to the terminal on the receiver with the same color by inserting the connector straight until it clicks.

¶Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.

¶If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers correctly.

Speaker impedance

After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver.

*Surround Back speaker

*For Surround Back speaker, you may place either two Surround Back speakers (Surround Back Left speaker and Surround Back Right speaker) for 7.1 channel surround sound system or one Surround Back speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound system.

Front speakers : Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.

Center speaker : Place the center speaker on the center between the front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.

Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.

Subwoofer : Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center speaker. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)

Surround back speakers : Place the surround back speaker behind the listining position, at the same height as the left and right surround speakers.

¶Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available. ¢

PRE OUT connections

The receiver has additional PRE OUT jacks.

Note that the output from the PRE OUT jacks needs to be connected to an external power amplifier.

If you want to connect surround back speakers to these jacks, be always sure to connect two surround back speakers for the left and right.

¶Connecting a speaker cord directly to a PRE OUT jack will not produce any sound from the speaker.

Connecting the antennas

AM loop antenna

The supplied loop antenna is for use indoors. Place it as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and power cord, and adjust the direction for best reception.

FM indoor antenna

The supplied indoor antenna is for temporary use only. For stable signal reception we recommend using an outdoor antenna. Disconnect the indoor antenna when you connect one outdoors.

AM antenna terminal connections

1 Push lever.

2 Insert cord.

3 Release lever.

FM antenna terminal connections

¶When pressing more than one remote control key successively, press the keys securely by leaving an interval of 1 second or more between keys.

Notes

1.The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries due to use during operation checks.

2.When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before, replace both batteries with new ones.

3.Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction.

In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent malfunction.
