13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the apparatus,

C. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water,

D. If the apparatus does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the apparatus to its normal operation,

E. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in

any way, and

F. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in

performance this indicates a need for service.

16.

Connecting the AV Receiver

Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have. No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass. To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings automatically (➔ page 26) or manually (➔ page 39).

If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals.

Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the same time.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The following illustration shows how to connect the speakers to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND

BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals.

Tip

• You can specify whether surround back or front high speakers are connected in the “4. Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)” menu (➔ page 39) or during Audyssey 2EQ

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification purpose.

(Taiwanese models) The supplied speaker cable labels are

also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

Tip

• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Connecting AV components

• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.

• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).

• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

AV Cables and Jacks

■ HDMI

HDMI connections can carry digital video and audio.

■ Component video

Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PB, PR), providing the best picture quality (some TV manufacturers label their component video sockets slightly differently).

■ Composite video

Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment.

■ Optical digital audio

Optical digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM

, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio

quality is the same as coaxial.

■ Coaxial digital audio

Coaxial digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM

, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio

quality is the same as optical.

■ Analog audio (RCA)

Analog audio connections (RCA) carry analog audio.

For PCM signals, the supported sampling rates are 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz. With HDMI connections, 176.4 and 192 kHz are also supported.

Note

• The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.

• The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Caution

• To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

Using Basic Functions

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ

and Audyssey Dynamic Volume

(➔ pages 42, 43). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration”.

•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one

position to perform the speaker setting only.

•“Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the

measurement from three positions to correct room

response in addition to the speaker setting. The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using a measurement from three positions to create the best listening environment. The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 10 minutes. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Measurement procedure

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

a First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

b Second measurement position

The right side of the listening area.

c Third measurement position

The left side of the listening area.

The distances from position a to b and a to c must be at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.).

Note

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place it away from all audio electronics.

• The microphone picks up test tones played through each speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup runs.

• Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.
