d HDMI MONITOR OUT

Connect the HDMI OUT to a HDTV •
or projector with HDMI input. HDMI
connection provides the best video
quality.

e COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1-2-3,

COMPONENT MONITOR OUT

Connect the Component video inputs •
to Component Video outputs from
compatible source devices, typically a
DVD player and terrestrial or satellite
HDTV tuner.

Connect the Component video output •
to the Component Video input of a
compatible video monitor/TV. Be sure
to observe consistency in connecting
the Y/Pb/Pr sockets to the
corresponding sources/inputs. The
routing of the component video inputs
is fully confi gurable via the Settings
menu.

The High Defi nition A/V Receiver’s •
component video inputs and outputs
are fully wideband and compatible with
allowable HDTV formats.

f MULTI INPUT

Connect to the corresponding analogue •
audio output ports of multichannel
source devices such as a DVD-Audio or
multichannel-SACD player or external
multichannel decoder (disc copy
protected formats only allow analogue
signal transfer). Typically, these sources
will produce 5.1-channel output, in
which case the Surround Back sockets
are left unconnected.

There is no bass-management or other •
processing (other than master volume
control) available to this 7.1 Channel
Input. While the multichannel audio
outputs of a DVD-Video player can
be connected to these sockets, using
the High Defi nition A/V Receiver’s own
Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and
digital-analogue converters via a digital
connection will usually produce
superior results.

g ANTENNA FM, AM

Connect the supplied lead-type FM •
antenna to the FM antenna input.
Extend the lead. Experiment freely with
your antenna placement and orientation
until you get the clearest sound and
lowest background noise. Fix the
antenna in the desired position by using
thumb tacks, push pins or any suitable
means.

The AM loop antenna supplied with the •
High Defi nition A/V Receiver (or a
suitable replacement) is required for
AM reception. Open the clip terminal
lever, insert the wire making sure to
match the colour-coded (white and
black) ends of the wire to that of the
terminal and close the lever ensuring
that the lever locks the wire in place.
Testing different positions for the
antenna may improve reception, vertical
orientation will usually produce the best
results. Antenna proximity to large
metal objects (appliances, radiators)
may impair reception, as will attempts
to lengthen the wire to the loop.

10 EN

h PRE-OUT

Connect the SW output to powered •
subwoofer.

The PRE-OUT makes it possible to use •
the High Defi nition A/V Receiver as a
pre-amplifi er to external power
amplifi ers for some or all channels.
Connect FRONT L, FRONT R,
CENTER, SURR R, SURR L, SURR-BL,
SURR-BR and SUBW to the respective
channel input of a power amplifi er or
an amplifi er driving the applicable
speakers. Unlike the full range channels,
there is no power amplifi er built-into
the High Defi nition A/V Receiver for a
subwoofer.

i UPLOAD (MCU, HDMI), RESET

The MCU, HDMI and RESET switches •
are meant for product service purposes.
In the unlikely event that your High
Defi nition A/V Receiver hangs up, you
can press RESET to restore your High
Defi nition A/V Receiver to normal
adjust settings.

j IR IN

These mini-sockets accept and output •
remote-controlled codes in electrical
format, using industry-standard
protocols, for use with “IR-repeater”
and multi-room systems and related
technologies.

This input is connected to the output of •
an IR (infrared) repeater (Xantech or
similar) or the IR output of another
device to allow control of the High
Defi nition A/V Receiver from a remote
location.

IR OUT 1-2

Both IR OUT 1 and IR OUT 2 have •
dual-features – they can act as an
infrared command repeater or stand
alone as IR OUT. Connect the High
Defi nition A/V Receiver’s IR IN to the
IR OUT of ancillary device. Connect
also the High Defi nition A/V Receiver’s
IR OUT 1 (or IR OUT 2) to another
device with IR IN feature. With this
setup, the High Defi nition A/V Receiver
acts as an “IR-repeater” allowing the
device connected to the High Defi nition
A/V Receiver’ s IR IN control or
command of the other device linked to
the High Defi nition A/V Receiver’s IR
OUT 1 (or IR OUT 2).

As a stand alone IR OUT, connect IR •
OUT 1 (or IR OUT 2) to the IR IN of
an ancillary device. Direct the ancillary
device’s own remote control to the
High Defi nition A/V Receiver’s infrared
receiver to command or control the
linked unit.

k +12V TRIGGER OUT

The +12V TRIGGER OUT is used for •
controlling external device that is
equipped with a +12V trigger input.
This output will be 12V when the
High Defi nition A/V Receiver is ON
and 0V when the unit is either OFF or
in standby. This output can drive a load
up to 150mA at 12V. (see ' Adjust
settings' > 'Settings menu' > [Trigger
setup])

l VIDEO-AUDIO IN 1,

VIDEO-AUDIO OUT 1

Connect VIDEO-AUDIO IN 1 to the •
analogue audio/video output port of a
recording device such as a video
cassette recorder, DVD recorder or to
an outboard audio/video processor.

Connect VIDEO-AUDIO OUT 1 to •
the recording device’s corresponding
analogue audio/video input port.

The signal present at VIDEO-AUDIO •
OUT 1 port is dependent upon the
current active SOURCE. There will be
no output when VIDEO 1/AUDIO 1 is
the selected source input. This prevents
feedback through the recording device
thereby preventing possible damage
to your speakers.

m VIDEO-AUDIO 2-3-4

These •
comprise the High Defi nition A/V
Receiver other principal inputs.
Connect these S-Video, composite
video, and analogue stereo audio input
ports to the corresponding output
ports of source devices.

n AUDIO 5-6 IN, AUDIO 5 OUT

Input for additional line level input •
signals such as CD player, MP player or
a tape recorder. Connect AUDIO 5
OUT to the analogue audio input of a
recording device such as a docking
system, DVD recorder or to an
outboard audio/video processor.

Connect the AUDIO 5 IN socket to •
the device’s corresponding output.
AUDIO 6 IN is advisable to connect to
a dedicated analogue output of
line-level audio sources like a CD player
or Stereo tuner.

o RS-232C

The RS-232C is meant for product •
service purposes.

p SPEAKER CONNECTORS

Connect the respective speaker’s •
FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER,
SURROUND R, SURROUND L,
SURROUND BACK L and
SURROUND BACK R channels to their
corresponding loudspeakers. Make sure
the “+” (red) terminal and “-” (black)
terminal are connected to the
corresponding “+” and “-” terminals of
the loudspeaker. Use extra care to
ensure that no stray wires or strands
cross between posts or terminals at
either end. The High Defi nition A/V
Receiver is designed to produce
optimum sound quality when
connected to speakers with impedances
within its operating range. Please make
sure that all the speakers are rated 8
ohms minimum per speaker.

q SWITCHED AC OUTLET

This convenience outlet can supply •
switched power to another device or
accessory. It is powered ON and OFF
by the front panel 2 button or the
RECEIVER 2 button on the remote
control. The total draw of all devices
connected to this outlet must not
exceed 100 watts.
