Loading the batteries	Operating range of remote control

The batteries included with the unit are to check initial operations; they may not last over a long period. We recommend using alkaline batteries that have a longer life.

WARNING

•Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.

CAUTION

•Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:

-Never use new and old batteries together.

-Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries properly according to the marks in the battery case.

-Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different batteries together.

-When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.

-When inserting the batteries, make sure not to damage the springs on the battery’s (–) terminals. This can cause batteries to leak or overheat.

The remote control may not work properly if:

•There are obstacles between the remote control and the receiver’s remote sensor.

•Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the remote sensor.

•The receiver is located near a device that is emitting infrared rays.

•The receiver is operated simultaneously with another infrared remote control unit.

2: Connecting your equipment

Placing the speakers

By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/SR), and the subwoofer (SW), a 5.1 ch surround system can be enjoyed.

To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

5.1 channel surround system:

Affixing Non-Skid Pads

Apply the accessory non-skid pads to the bottom surfaces of the front/center/surround speakers

Subwoofer

•Orient the subwoofer’s front face pointing toward the listening position.

•When moving the subwoofer, avoid touching the bottom surface, since the speaker unit is located there.

•The subwoofer plays back the bass in monaural, making use of the fact that the human ear is not very sensitive to the direction of low-pitched sound. Because of this, the subwoofer can be installed almost anywhere. If it is installed too far away, however, the sound from the other speakers may become unnatural.

The degree of bass effect can be adjusted by moving the unit farther from or closer to the wall.

Front/Center/Surround speakers

•Labels located on the rear of each speaker indicate whether they are designed for front or surround use.

•Optional speaker stands can be purchased to facilitate optimal mounting of the surround speakers at or slightly above the listener’s ear height.

•The surround effect will be diminished if the surround speakers are mounted at extreme distances from the listener’s position.

Hints on the speaker placement

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

•The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

•For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from the TV.

•If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, place the speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV. Any other device liable to be influenced by magnetism (floppy disk drive, cassette tape recorder, video tape player, etc.) should also be kept at a distance from the subwoofer and other speakers.

•If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.

•It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.

•The optimal positioning for surround speakers is just above ear height. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback.

•Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

CAUTION

•Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

•Install the center speaker below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

•Do not place the center speaker on top of the TV, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

Connecting the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but

Center

using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround

sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

1	Twist exposed wire strands together.	1	2	3
2	Push open the tabs and insert exposed wire.
3	Release the tabs.		12 mm
			(1/2 in.)

Note
• Connect the wire with the colored marker to the red (+)	colored
terminal; the plain wire to the black (–) terminal.	marker

CAUTION

•These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

•Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

•After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound.

•If the cables’ wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the receiver. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the receiver.

•When using a set of speakers connected to an receiver, you won’t be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity (+, –) of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.

Check if the

Making cable connections

Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit (as shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise from the speakers.

Important

•Before making or changing connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

•Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into standby.

HDMI cables

Both video and sound signals can be transmitted simultaneously with one cable. If connecting the player and the TV via this receiver, for both connections, use HDMI cables.

HDMI

Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.

Note

•Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on page 24 to THRU (THROUGH) and set the input signal in
