Installation procedure

2 3

This unit can be used in a number of ways, depending on the layout of the speakers you are installing, and the connections made to external devices. Read the following to help make the installation process smoother.

Step1: Speaker Layout

Select the speaker layout that suits the types of speakers you have and the conditions they will be used in from the choices presented on pages P8 to P12, then install the speakers by referring to the illustrations and explanations on the relevant page. Speaker layouts include systems that use surround back speakers, systems that use height speakers, and systems that use Bi-Amping speakers. Also refer to the combinations available in "Speaker combinations" on P13.

Step2: Connect the Speakers

To connect the speaker systems to this unit, refer to P14 if you are using a speaker layout described on one of P8 to P11, and to P15 to use a speaker layout using Bi-Amping speakers described on P12. The connection process will be smoother if you refer to the illustrations and explanations and prepare the required cables before hand.

Step3: Connect the TV & AV Components

Refer to P16 to P23 to connect your external devices such as your TV, Blu-ray Disc Player, and also supplied accessories such as the antennas. Also, P20 to P22 introduces the Multi-zone Connection option that allows you to play video or audio into rooms other than the main room. The connection process will be smoother if you refer to the illustrations and explanations, confirm the connection types on the external devices, and prepare the required cables before hand.

7.1 Channel System

Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and vocals. Surround speakers create back sound field. Powered subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound field. This basic 5.1 Channel System with surround back speakers added is called a 7.1 Channel System. The connection of surround back speakers improves the sense of envelopment and connectivity of sound created by the back sound field and provides a more real sound field. Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound, when the input format is Dolby Atmos. The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height. Center speaker should be set up facing the listening position. Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music. The optimal positioning is for surround back speakers to be at ear height.

0 If you are including surround back speakers in the setup,

surround speakers are required.

This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a powered subwoofer, with the addition of front height speakers or rear high speakers, which are both types of height speakers. By installing height speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Front high speakers or rear high speakers should be situated at least 3´/0.9 m higher than the front speakers. Front high speakers should be situated directly above the front speakers and the distance between the rear high speakers should match the distance between the front speakers. Both should be set up facing the listening position.

½1: 22e to 30e, ½2: 120e

With a 5.1 channel system, it is possible to connect front speakers that support Bi-Amping to improve the quality of the bass and treble. Bi-Amping compatible speakers need their terminals for the tweeters connected to one amplifier and their terminals for woofers connected to another amplifier, so it is not possible to connect height speakers and surround back speakers with this connection. Other than front speakers, you can also connect a center speaker, surround speakers, and a powered subwoofer.
