About the supplied remote control
Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has
several operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video
components. In order to effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating
instructions and obtain a proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its
operation modes (etc.).
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the
operation modes may result in incorrect operations.

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.

Protection circuitry
This unit incorporates protection circuitry, which may be activated
during high-power reproduction or in case of extreme rise in tempera-
ture.
When the protection circuitry is activated, the output from this unit is
shut down and the STANDBY indicator blinks.
In this case, turn this unit OFF then ON again and reduce the output
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.

¶ 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.

speakers
*Surround Back
*Left 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.

If you use a component that you do not usually connect to the receiver,
such as a portable video camera, connect it to the GAME or FRONT AUX

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.
