IMAX Enhanced (v p. 321)

This IMAX Enhanced product have met stringent performance standards established by IMAX and DTS in order to create a consistent and higher bar for sound performance. DTS has developed a special method for reproducing an IMAX signature sound experience in the consumer’s home. This method combines a unique conversion process for IMAX theatrical audio mixes utilizing an enhanced DTS codec technology. The IMAX theatrical audio format with point source surround speakers closely matches the speaker configuration most consumers have in their homes today. Coupled with DTS audio technology, IMAX Enhanced audio products will ensure the best and most accurate audio reproduction over 5.1 or more speaker channels.

Audyssey LFC™ (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 189)

Audyssey LFC™ solves the problem of low frequency sounds disturbing people in neighboring rooms or apartments. Audyssey LFC™ dynamically monitors the audio content and removes the low frequencies that pass through walls, floors and ceilings. It then applies psychoacoustic processing to restore the perception of low bass for listeners in the room. The result is great sound that no longer disturbs the neighbors.

Discrete subwoofers and Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ (v p. 209)

The unit has four subwoofer output capability and can adjust the level and delay for each subwoofer individually. Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ makes the integration seamless by first compensating for any level and delay differences between the four subwoofers and then applying Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to four subwoofers together for improved deep bass response and detail.

Place the SURROUND left and right speakers an equal distance to the left and right sides of the main listening position. If you don’t have surround back speakers, move the surround speakers slightly behind your listening position.

Place the SURROUND BACK left and right speakers an equal distance from the main listening position and directly behind the main listening position. When using a single surround back speaker (SB), place it directly behind the listening position.

Place the FRONT WIDE left and right speakers outside of the front left and right speakers so that there is an equal distance between all front speakers.

Place your subwoofer near your front speakers. If you are using multiple subwoofers, place pairs of subwoofers spaced equally across the front or rear walls of the room or place single subs midway between the front pairs or rear pairs. You can also set a specific layout when using multiple subwoofers on the “Subwoofer Mode” setting (v p. 228): 2 subwoofers: 2 front, or 1 front and 1 rear 3 subwoofers: 2 front and 1rear 4 subwoofers: 2 front and 2 rear

This unit is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X which offers an even wider

and deeper surround sensation. The “Speaker Virtualizer” must be set to “On” for Dolby Atmos playback with 5.1-

channel speaker configurations or less. (v p. 180) IMAX DTS:X / DTS:X can be selected regardless of the speaker configuration.

AURO-3D recommends adding FRONT HEIGHT and SURROUND HEIGHT

speakers to a 5.1 speaker configuration. Optionally, you may substitute REAR HEIGHT, ceiling speakers, Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers instead of FRONT HEIGHT and SURROUND HEIGHT speakers for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and AURO-3D playback.

Connecting a power amp

Before connecting a power amp

Connect a power amp (sold separately) to the PRE OUT connector of

this unit. This unit has UNBALANCED RCA PRE OUT connector and

BALANCED XLR PRE OUT connector. Connect to the correct connector for your power amp. If your power amp has both connectors, connect to either of them.

Connect the speakers to the power amp.

For details on speaker connections, see the Owner's Manual for the

power amp. This section shows how to make a 15.4-channel connection.

For how to make other speaker connections, see page 48.

The PIN arrangement in this unit uses the European method. In the USA method, B is COLD, and C is HOT. When connecting a device that utilizes the USA type of PIN arrangement,

replace the B and C plugs on one side of the balanced cable.

NOTE

Do not short the HOT and GND or COLD and GND for use.

Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the

speakers.

Connecting 11.1-channel speakers: Bi-amp connection of front speakers

This system plays back 11.1-channels. You can use the bi-amp connection for front speakers. Bi-amp connection is a method to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminal and woofer terminal of a speaker that supports bi-amplification. This connection enables back EMF (power returned without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a higher sound quality.

NOTE

When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or

wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.

Connecting a TV

Connect a TV to this unit so that the input video is output to the TV. You can also enjoy audio from the TV on this unit. How to connect a TV depends on the connectors and functions equipped on the TV.

“Connection 1 : TV equipped with an HDMI connector and compatible with the ARC / eARC” (v p. 66)

What is ARC and eARC?

ARC (Audio Return Channel) sends audio back to this unit using the same HDMI cable that sends video from this unit to your TV. This allows this unit to process the sound from your TV’s built-in tuner and apps. TVs with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) port provide additional support for high bitrate multichannel audio (Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS:X). Please refer to your TV Owner’s Manual for details about eARC support for your particular model.

NOTE

Use a TV with a 2 prong power plug for this unit. Do not connect a TV with a 3 prong power plug, as this may cause noise.

Using a high quality HDMI cablez, connect one end to the HDMI port labeled “eARC” or “ARC” on your TV. Connect the other end to the HDMI OUT TV 1 port on this unit.

When a TV with eARC support is connected, the eARC function of this unit is enabled automatically and the television audio is played back. When a TV with ARC support is connected, set “ARC” in the menu to “On”. (v p. 195)

For 4K TVs we recommend using an HDMI cable labeled “High Speed”

and “with Ethernet”.

For 8K TVs we recommend using an HDMI cable labeled “Ultra High

Speed”.

eARC function settings may be required depending on the eARC

function-compatible television you are using. Make sure eARC is set to on if this setting exists on your television. For more information, check your television’s owner’s manual.
