•Before turning the power on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
•Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When going on vacation or leaving home
for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.
•About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
•Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that
occurs, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
•Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units
before moving the unit.
•About care
•Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.
•Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.
•Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as
insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought
into contact with the unit, and should therefore not be used.
4-HDMI inputs and 1-output
The unit is equipped with 4 HDMI input connectors for connecting
devices with HDMI connectors, such as a Blu-ray Disc player,

Information
Basic version
vSee overleaf
You can connect up to five HDMI-compatible devices (4-inputs/1-output) to the unit.
In order to play back digital video and audio such as BD-Video or DVD-Video via HDMI connection, both
this unit and TV or the player need to support the copyright protection system known as HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright protection technology comprised of
data encryption and authentication of the connected AV devices. This unit supports HDCP.
•If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio are not output correctly. Read
the owner’s manual of your television or player for more information.
About HDMI cables
•When a device supporting Deep Color is connected, use a cable compatible with “High Speed HDMI
cable” or “High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet”.
•When the ARC function is used, connect a device with a ”Standard HDMI cable with Ethernet” or “High
Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet” for HDMI 1.4a.

•You cannot operate a TV or Blu-ray Disc player/DVD player that is not compatible with the HDMI control
function.
About 3D function
This unit supports input and output of 3D (3 dimensional) video signals of HDMI 1.4a.
To play back 3D video, you need a TV and player that provide support for the HDMI 1.4a 3D function and
a pair of 3D glasses.
NOTE
•When playing back 3D video, refer to the instructions provided in the manual of your playback device
together with this manual.
•If you operate the menu while playing back 3D video content, the playback video is replaced by the menu
screen. The playback video is not displayed behind the menu screen.
•This unit does not show the status display while playing back 3D video content.
•If 3D video with no 3D information is input, the menu screen and status display on this unit are displayed
over the playback video.
•If 2D video is converted to 3D video on the television, the menu screen and status display on this unit
are not displayed correctly. To view the menu screen and status display on this unit correctly, turn the
television setting that converts 2D video to 3D video off.
About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function
The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4a enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data “upstream”
to this unit.
NOTE
•To enable the ARC function, set “HDMI Control” to “ON” (vpage58).
•When connecting a TV that does not support the ARC function, a separate connection using an audio
cable is required. In this case, refer to “Connecting a TV” (vpage7) for the connection method.

The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and
listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made
automatically. This is called “Audyssey® Auto Setup”.
To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in
multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results,
we recommend you measure in six positions, as shown in the
illustration (up to six positions).
•When performing Audyssey® Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ®/
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions
become active (vpage50, 51).
•To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup”
(vpage55) on the menu.
NOTE
•Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may
be affected by these sounds.
•Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not
in use).
•Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until
Audyssey® Auto Setup is completed.
•Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.
•Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey® Auto setup. This
is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room,
these test signals will increase in volume.
•Operating
the measurements will cancel the
measurements.
•Measurement cannot be performed when
headphones are connected.
VOLUME +, – during
About setup microphone placement
•Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening
area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend
you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six
positions).
•Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would
normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening
environment. Before starting Audyssey® Auto Setup, place the setup
microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® uses
the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance,
level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand
and place it in the main listening position.
When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the
sound receptor to the level of the listener’s ear.
If you do not have a tripod or stand, set up the microphone on, for
example, a seat without a back.
NOTE
•Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand during
measurements.
•Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a seat back or wall as
sound reflections may give inaccurate results.
