Step 1 Connections
Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions.
Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other connections are completed.
When connecting to 4K compatible equipment and 4K Ultra HD TV, use High Speed HDMI cables which support 18 Gbps bandwidth.
Connection with the TV
CAUTION
(Caution regarding the HDMI terminals on the main unit)
Hot surface Do not touch.
Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is labelled “HDMI (ARC)”.

≥ When you use the optical digital audio cable, insert the tip correctly into the terminal.
∫ What is ARC?
ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When a terminal labelled “ARC” and the “(TV (ARC))” terminal on the main unit are connected by HDMI, the optical digital audio cable that is usually required in order to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.

Connection with players, etc., supporting HDR10+ and Dolby VisionTM
This system does not support HDR10+ and Dolby VisionTM. When connecting to a player, TV, etc., that supports HDR10+ or Dolby VisionTM, use the following connection.
≥The name of the terminal may be different depending on the device that supports HDR10+. Refer to the operating instructions of the supporting device for details.
≥If you connect this system and are then unable to view Netflix, use the following connection.

Using the IR Blaster
(When the remote control does not work properly)
Depending on how the main unit is setup, it may block the TV’s remote control signal sensor, stopping the TV’s remote control from working. Use the supplied Ir system cable if this occurs. The TV remote control signals received by the main unit are sent to the TV to operate it.
≥For the operation range, refer to page 7.
≥Do not use any other IR Blaster except the supplied one.
1Connect the jack plug to the main unit’s Ir SYSTEM terminal.
A IR Blaster (supplied)
B Adhesive tape (supplied)
2Place the infrared emitter in sight of the TV’s remote control signal sensor.
Placement example
On the rear of the main unit:

C TV remote control signal sensor D Infrared emitter
E Adhesive tape (supplied)
10 TQBM0483
3Aim the TV’s remote control at this system’s remote control sensor and operate the TV.
≥For the location of the TV’s remote control signal sensor, refer to the operating instructions for the TV.
≥Select a location that suits the environment.
≥Make sure to clean the surface, where the adhesive tape is to be attached.
≥If you peel off the adhesive tape, the surface may become damaged and exposed adhesive may remain. Once you have confirmed the TV is operating correctly, secure it by attaching the adhesive tape.
≥When the TV receives signals from both its remote control and the IR Blaster, their signals may interfere with each other, making it impossible for you to operate the TV.
Try using the TV’s remote control from a different angle.
AC mains lead connection
≥Connect only after all other connections are completed.

If the TV remote control does not work even after you have adjusted its angle, do not use the IR Blaster. Install the main unit so that the TV’s remote control signal sensor is visible from the position where you operate the TV remote control.
≥This system consumes a small amount of AC power (> 30) even when it is turned off. In the interest of power conservation, if you will not be using this system for a long time, unplug it from the household mains socket.
jOperation is not possible using the IR Blaster if the AC mains plug is disconnected.
Saving energy
The main unit is designed to conserve its power consumption and save energy.
≥The main unit will automatically switch to standby mode when no signal is input and no operation is performed for approx. 20 minutes. Refer to page 20, “AUTO OFF” to turn this function off.
