Information
Basic version
vSee overleaf
You can connect up to nine HDMI-compatible devices (7-inputs/2-outputs) 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.
HDMI control function (vpage68)
This function allows you to operate external devices from the unit and operate the unit from external
devices.
NOTE
•The HDMI control function may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its settings.
•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 HDMI1.4a 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.
•When playing back 3D video content, the menu screen or status display screen can be superimposed
over the image. However, the menu screen or status display screen cannot be superimposed over
certain 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” – “Control” to “ON” (vpage105).
•The ARC function cannot use the HDMI MONITOR 1 and HDMI MONITOR 2 connectors simultaneously.
Perform the “Control Monitor” setting in accordance with a TV that supports the ARC function and HDMI
MONITOR connector in this unit.
•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” (vpage10) for the connection method.

Set up speakers (Audyssey® Auto Setup)
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 or more positions, as shown
in the illustration (up to eight positions).
•When performing Audyssey® Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ® XT/
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions
become active (vpage96).
•To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup”
(vpage101) 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.

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 or more positions, as shown in the illustration
(up to eight 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® XT uses
the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance,
level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

bit rates mean a lower sound quality but less tendency for the sound
to be interrupted.

7.1-channel (Front height speaker) connection
The illustration on the right shows a connection example for performing 7.1-channel playback using the
front height speakers.
To perform 7.1-channel playback using the front height speakers, set “Amp Assign” to “F.Height” in
steps 3 and 4 for “Set up “Amp Assign”” (vpage64).
NOTE
•For speaker cable connections, see Cpage 6 “Connecting the speakers”.
•Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The
protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides
touch each other (vpage140 “Protection Circuit”).
•Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result
in electric shock (When the Setup wizard is running, follow the instructions in the Setup wizard
screen for making connections.).

Information

You can use the front speakers via the bi-amp connection.
A bi-amp connection is to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals of
speakers compatible with the bi-amp function. This prevents the back electromotive force (returned force
without output) of the woofer sent to the tweeter, which affects the sound quality of the tweeter, and you
can enjoy playback with higher-quality sound.
In this case, set “Amp Assign” to “SPKR-C” in steps 3 and 4 for “Set up “Amp Assign”” (vpage64).
For surround playback of a multichannel source, if you connect the center speaker, surround speakers and
subwoofers, 5.1-channel playback is available.
NOTE
•For speaker cable connections, see Cpage 6 “Connecting the speakers”.
•For speaker impedance , see page57.
•Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.

Dynamic EQ
Solve the problem of
deteriorating sound quality
as volume is decreased
by taking into account
human perception and
room acoustics. Works with
MultEQ® XT.
Reference Level Offset
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is
referenced to the standard
film mix level. It makes
adjustments to maintain
the reference response
and surround envelopment
when the volume is turned
down from 0 dB. However,
film reference level is not
always used in music or
other non-film content.
Dynamic EQ® Reference
Level Offset provides three
offsets from the film level
reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and
15 dB) that can be selected
when the mix level of the
content is not within the
standard.
®
ON : Use Dynamic EQ®.
OFF : Do not use Dynamic EQ®.
0dB (Film Ref) : This is the default setting and should be used when
listening to movies.
5dB : Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range,
such as classical music.
10dB : Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic
range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually
mixed at 10 dB below film reference.
15dB : Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material
that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic
range.
Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ®” is “ON” (vpage97).
