1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water – for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

6. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned with a dry cloth or only as recommended by the manufacturer.

7. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other such surface. Newspapers, table clothes, curtains, and other items can inadvertently block ventilation slots. Do not place the unit near curtains that could obstruct the ventilation. If you install the appliance in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the appliance should be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a ﬂue-like gap for warm air to escape.

8. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including ampliﬁer) that produce heat.

9. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will ﬁt into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to ﬁt, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not ﬁt into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

11. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

12. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care to avoid injury from tip-over. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

13. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

14. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form 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

appliance, C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the appliance 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 appliance to its normal operation, E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,

and F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance

– this indicates a need for service.

15. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a ﬁre or electric shock. The appliance should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases should be placed on the appliance. Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.

16. Batteries – Always consider the environmental issues and follow local regulations when disposing of batteries.

With the initial settings of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, the CD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack (COAX).

If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be changed at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 52).

2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO) (TX-SR701/701E only)

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable to the PHONO audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

Note:

The TX-SR701/701E is designed for use with moving magnet cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground wire is not necessary and should not be connected.

3. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder (TAPE)

Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/ 601E and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.

If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL IN COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR701/ 701E/601/601E depending on the type of connector on the device.

Connecting your video components

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples. Video signal will be output if you use any one of COMPONENT, S, or composit terminals. However, you are recommended to match the type of video terminals for connection between video devices (ex. DVD player and VCR), TX-SR701/701E/601/601E and TV/monitor.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

For DVD players or other devices that have component video connectors, the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E has two banks of component video input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. TX-SR701/701E/601/601E also has one bank of component video output connectors for direct component video output to the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other display device. By sending the pure component video signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.

• The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

VIDEO IN/OUT, S VIDEO IN/OUT

These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are four video inputs and two video outputs and each one includes both composite video and S video conﬁgurations. Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video components to the video inputs. Connect VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the video outputs to make video recordings.

• When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3).

• The VIDEO 4 inputs are located on the front panel.

The ﬂow of the video signals is as follows:

The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT jacks. The signal that comes in from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the S VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT jacks. It is not necessary to make both video and S video connections.

Notes:

• If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack, MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal from the source component is input through the component video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input from the component video connectors can only be output from the component video connectors.

• For more information about the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT jacks, see page 16.

Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them properly for the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure. Be sure to refer to the instruction manuals that came with the speakers during placement and connection. Furthermore, be aware that for surround playback, the conﬁguration and placement of your speakers are both very important.

Standard speaker setup for surround sound

• Front right and left speakers

Produces a basic sound image.

• Center speaker

Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic movement.

• Surround right and left speakers

Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.

• Surround back speaker

Required for enjoying Dolby Digital EX, THX Surround EX (TX-SR701/701E only), or DTS-ES audio. Improves the quality of sound effects and the realistic acoustics.

• Subwoofer

Produces powerful and heavy bass.

Subwoofer

When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality greatly depend on subwoofer placement. Those characteristics also depends on the shape of your listening room as well as your listening point. Generally speaking, good bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed in the corner of the room or at one-third the length of the room.

(Only one surround back speaker)

Minimum speaker conﬁguration for surround sound playback

• Front right and left speakers

• Surround right and left speakers

The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the front right and left speakers for optimized surround playback.

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical examples of speaker placement and recommendations are shown.

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place these three speakers all at the same height.

• Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.

• Place front left and right speakers at the same distance from the listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Surround back speakers

• Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

• (TX-SR701/701E only) When using surround back left and right speakers, place them behind the listener so that the angles between the lines from each speaker to the listener and a line straight back from the listener are less than 30 degrees.

8 9

(Two surround back speakers (TX-SR701/701E only))

Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their orientation in

8 9

which that should be placed. For the correct acoustical phasing in the room, dipolar surround speakers should be placed so that their arrows point forward toward the screen and dipolar surround back speakers should be placed so that their arrows point to each other.

Connecting speakers

Using the speaker cable labels

The positive speaker terminals on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E are color coded for easy identiﬁcation. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the corresponding terminals.

Speaker cable label

TX-SR701/701E/ 601/601E
