Connecting your equipment

Placing the speakers

By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/SR), and the subwoofer (SW), a 5.1 ch surround system can be enjoyed.

Further, by using an external amplifier, you can connect the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) to boost your system up to a 7.1 ch surround system.

• You can also connect one surround back speaker (SB) and enjoy a 6.1 ch surround system. To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

Hints on the speaker placement

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.

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.

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 going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT 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.

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.

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.

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 23).

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.

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.

Important

To connect the surround back speakers, an additional amplifier is required. Connect the additional amplifier to the SURR BACK PRE OUT outputs of this unit and connect the surround back speakers to the additional amplifier (see Connect the surround back speakers on page 11).

En

Connecting your equipment

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.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

2

Release the tabs.

 

 

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 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.

Connect the surround back speakers

Connect the SURR BACK PRE OUT outputs of the unit and additional amplifier to add a surround back speaker.

You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

1 Switch on your system components and receiver.

Start by switching on the playback component (for example a DVD player), your TV, then the receiver (press RECEIVER).

2Switch the TV input to the input that connects this

receiver.

For example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO jacks on your TV, make sure that the VIDEO input is now selected.

3Press input function buttons to select the input function you want to play.

The input of the receiver will switch over, and you will be able to operate other components using the remote control. To operate the receiver, first press RECEIVER on the remote control, then press the appropriate button to operate.

The input source can also be selected by using INPUT SELECT buttons on the remote control, or by using the front panel INPUT SELECTOR dial. In this case, the remote control won’t switch operational modes.

If you selected the proper input source and there is still no sound, select the audio input signal for playback (see

Selecting the audio input signal below).

4 Press AUTO/DIRECT to select ‘AUTO SURROUND’ and

start playback of the source.

If you’re playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound DVD disc, with a digital audio connection, you should hear surround sound. If you’re playing a stereo source or if the connection is an analog audio connection, you will only hear sound from the front left/right speakers in the default listening mode.

It is possible to check on the front panel display whether or not surround sound playback is being performed properly.

When using a surround back speaker, 2D+PLIIx is displayed when playing Dolby Digital 5.1-channel signals, and DTS+NEO:6 is displayed when playing DTS 5.1-channel signals.

When not using a surround back speaker, 2D is displayed when playing Dolby Digital signals.

If the display does not correspond to the input signal and listening mode, check the connections and settings.

Note

You may need to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player or digital satellite receiver. It should be set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2 kHz/96 kHz PCM (2 channel) audio, and if there is an MPEG audio option, set this to convert the MPEG audio to PCM.

Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case, the receiver must be set to a multichannel listening mode if you want multichannel surround sound.

03 Basic playback

When digital input (optical or coaxial) is selected, this receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 96 kHz) and DTS (including DTS 96 kHz/24 bit) digital signal formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz sampling frequencies), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio and DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With other digital signal formats, set to A (analog).

You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital connections (page 13) and set the signal input to C1/O1 (digital).

Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.

This product is not compatible with DSD decoding.

Set the output setting on the player to PCM when playing SACD on a player compatible with SACD. See the player’s instruction manual for details.

1Press TUNER to select the tuner.

2Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary.

Each press switches the band between FM (stereo or mono) and AM.

3Tune to a station.

There are three ways to do this:

Automatic tuning

To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold TUNE / for about a second. The receiver will start searching for the next station, stopping when it has found one. Repeat to search for other stations.

Manual tuning

To change the frequency one step at a time, press

TUNE /.

High speed tuning

Press and hold TUNE / for high speed tuning. Release the button at the frequency you want.

Improving FM sound

If the TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, set the receiver to the mono reception mode.

Press BAND to select FM MONO.

This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.
