Features

High quality sound

With discrete circuit technology, the power amplifier provides

identical quality for all 11-channels (175 Watts x 11-channels)

For optimum realism and stunning dynamic range, the power amplifier section features discrete power devices (not integrated circuitry). By using high current, high power discrete power devices, the amplifier is able to easily drive high quality speakers.

Current feedback amplifier

This unit uses a high-speed current feedback amplifier circuit for its preamplifier so that signals from a Blu-ray Disc player and other equipment that support high-definition audio formats can be amplified with high fidelity. The high-speed current feedback amplifier also reproduces a natural sound space.

Dolby Atmos (v

This unit is equipped with a decoder that supports Dolby Atmos audio format. The placement or movement of sound is accurately reproduced by the addition of overhead speakers, enabling you to experience an incredibly natural and realistic surround sound field.

p. 317)

DTS:X (v p. 320)

This unit is equipped with the DTS:X decoder technology. DTS:X brings the home theater experience to new heights with its immersive object based audio technology which removes the bounds of channels. The flexibility of objects allows for sound to be scaled large or small and moved around the room with greater accuracy than ever before leading to a richer immersive audio experience.

Audyssey LFC™ (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 188)

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

The unit has two 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 two subwoofers and then applying Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to both subwoofers together for improved deep bass response and detail.

This unit is equipped with an Auro-3D decoder. With Auro-3D, Front Height (FHL + FHR), Surround Height (SHL + SHR) and Top Surround (TS/optional) are added to a conventional 5.1-channel system to achieve a natural and realistic sound field that is three-dimensional and fully immersive.

You will be able to fully enjoy Auro-3D playback if you properly place the speakers for Auro-3D.

2 Auro-3D playback

Auro-3D does not support a Dolby Atmos configuration using Top Front, Top Middle or Top Rear speakers.

But it is possible to support both an Auro-3D and Dolby Atmos by adding Front Height and Rear Height speakers* to a 5.1 configuration.

For an optimum Auro-3D experience Surround Height speakers are strongly recommended.

Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers reflect the sound off the ceiling to allow the sound to come from over your head by using a special upwardpointing speaker that is placed on the floor.

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

and deeper surround sensation. Dolby Atmos is not supported in a 5.1-channel or less speaker configuration.

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, Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers instead of FRONT HEIGHT and SURROUND HEIGHT speakers for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D playback.

Use the illustration below as a guide for how high each speaker should be

installed. The height does not need to be exactly the same.

Connecting speakers

Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.

Before connecting speakers

NOTE

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

speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer. 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. (“Protection circuit” (v

Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so

could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 9 in the separate “Quick Start Guide”) is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)

Use speakers with an impedance of 4 – 16 Ω/ohms.

p. 324))

Front panel Display Rear panel Remote Index

NOTE

Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 – 6

Ω/ohms.

1. Press and hold the main unit’s ZONE SELECT and STATUS at the same time

for at least 3 seconds.

“zVideo Format <NTSC>” appears on the display.

Press i on the main unit three times.

“zSp. Impedance <8ohms>” appears on the display.

Use o or p on the main unit to select the impedance.

8ohms (Default):

6ohms:

4ohms:

4. Press the main unit’s ENTER to complete the setting.

Select when the impedance for all of the connected speakers is 8 Ω/ohms or over.

Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 6 Ω/ohms.

Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 4 Ω/ohms.

Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of sheathing from the

tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.

Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the

speaker terminal.

Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.

Connecting the subwoofer

Use a subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer. Two subwoofers can be connected to this unit.

To use two subwoofers, set “Subwoofer” to “2 spkrs” in the “Speaker Config.” setting. (v p. 228)

The level and distance can be set separately for Subwoofer 1 and Subwoofer 2.

Bi-amp connection

9.1-channel playback (bi-amp connection of front speakers)

This system plays back 9.1-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.

The height speakers, ceiling speakers and Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers can

be connected to the HEIGHT1 speaker terminals. Set the speaker to be connected from “Height” - “Layout” in the menu. (v

If you set this unit’s input source to “Phono” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise from the speakers.

NOTE

The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety grounding

purposes. If this terminal is connected when there is a lot of noise, the noise can be reduced. Note that depending on the turntable, connecting the ground line may have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary to connect the ground line.

You can connect an external IR receiver to the REMOTE CONTROL connectors to perform operations on this unit with the supplied remote control unit without visual contact. This might be necessary if the unit is hidden in a cupboard or corner, so you can’t directly point with the remote control unit to the device.

To do this, disable the remote control signal receiving function (“Remote lock function” (v p. 163)).

NOTE

When the remote control signal receiving function is disabled, you can not perform
