Determining the speakers’ application
By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/ SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) (or the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR)), and the subwoofer (SW), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel can be enjoyed.
The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonlyused in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

Note
•Both the surround back speakers and the front height speakers can be connected at the same time. In this case, sound will be output from either the front height speaker or the surround back speaker depending on which one was selected in the Speaker System setting (see The Speaker System setting on page 41).
Speaker B connection
You can use the speakers connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. See
Switching the speaker terminal on page 12 for the listening options with this setup.
•You will not be able to connect the B speakers if you connect the front height speakers in the main zone.
Further, if you use the B speakers, a 5.1 ch playback will be the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output from the surround back speaker.)

Some tips for improving sound quality
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.
•It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.
•Refer to the chart below for placement of speakers you intend to connect.

-Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t use the front height speakers, we recommend placing the surround speaker right beside you.
-If you intend to connect only one surround back speakers, place it directly behind you.
En
Connecting your equipment
-If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 35).
•For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from the TV.
•If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.
•Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.
•Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) higher than your ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback.
•Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
•Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter (3.3 ft.) directly above the left and right front speakers.
•If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV.
•The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.
•When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be damaged.)
•After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 24.

02 Connecting your equipment
CAUTION
•Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
Connecting the speakers
The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.
You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

CAUTION
•These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.
•Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Switching the speaker terminal
If you selected Surr.Back in The Speaker System setting on page 41, you can switch between speakers using the SPEAKERS button. If you selected Height, the button will simply switch your main speaker terminal on or off. The options below are for the Surr.Back setting only.
Use the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to select a speaker terminal setting.
SPEAKERS CONTROL - MULTI-ZONE - ON/OFF
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker terminal option:
•SP A – Sound is output from the speakers connected to the A-speaker terminals (multichannel playback is possible).
•SP B – Sound is output from the two speakers connected to the B-speaker terminals (only stereo playback is possible).
•SP AB – Sound is output from the A-speaker terminals, the two speakers in the B-speaker terminals, and the subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed only when the STEREO or STEREO ALC mode is selected for stereo output from A- and B-speaker terminals.
•SP – No sound is output from the speakers.
Note
•The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Speaker Setting on page 38. However, if SP B is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
•All speaker terminals are switched off when headphones are connected.

The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed digital video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the connected component is compatible with, including DVDVideo, DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio (see below for limitations), Video CD/ Super VCD and CD.
This receiver incorporates High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI®) technology.
This receiver supports the functions described below through HDMI connections.
•Digital transfer of uncompressed video (contents protected by HDCP (1080p/24, 1080p/60, etc.))
•3D signal transfer
•Deep Color signal transfer
•x.v.Color signal transfer
•Audio Return Channel
•Input of multi-channel linear PCM digital audio signals (192 kHz or less) for up to 8 channels
•Input of the following digital audio formats:
– Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, High bitrate audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio), DVDAudio, CD, SACD (DSD 2 ch only), Video CD, Super VCD
•Synchronized operation with components using the Control with HDMI function (see Control with HDMI function on page 43)
Note
•Use a High Speed HDMI® cable. If HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI® cable is used, it may not work properly.
•When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.
•3D, Deep Color, x.v.Color signal transfer and Audio Return Channel are only possible when connected to a compatible component.
•HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may occur when switching between audio formats or beginning playback.
•Turning on/off the device connected to this unit’s HDMI OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/ connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.

About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output from HDMI OUT terminal. The only exception is HDMI: since this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI video outputs when connecting this video source.

Note
•If several video components are assigned to the same input function, the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).
•If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, try switching Video Converter OFF (see Video Converter on page 41).
•The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/ 576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signal cannot be converted.
