This is a basic 5.1 Channel System. Front speakers output the front stereo sound, and a center speaker outputs the sound of the center of the screen, such

as dialogs and vocals. Surround speakers create the back sound eld. Powered subwoofer reproduces the bass sound, and creates the rich sound eld. The front speakers should be positioned at ear height while the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height. The center speaker should be set up facing the listening position at an angle. Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and the front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music sources.

p19).

ZONE 2/ZONE 3: You can enjoy 2-ch audio in the separate room (ZONE 2/ZONE 3) while performing 5.1-ch playback in

the main room (where this unit is located). The same source can be played back in the main room and ZONE 2/ZONE 3

simultaneously. Also, different sources can be played back in both rooms. To output audio from an externally connected AV component to ZONE 3, use an analog audio cable for connection. Note

that ZONE 3 output is not possible with the connection using a HDMI cable, digital coaxial cable, or digital optical cable.

(*2) You can also use Bi-Amping connections with Speakers B. (*3) If you have not connected ZONE 3 speakers in another room but have only connected ZONE 2 speakers, connect the ZONE 2 speakers to the HEIGHT 1 jacks.

However, if you want to use at the same time as Bi-AMP (FRONT), connect the ZONE 2 speakers to the HEIGHT 2 jacks. (*4) If front speakers are to be Bi-Amping connected, height speakers need to be connected to the HEIGHT 2 jacks. (*5) This unit consists of a 9 ch amplier, so when using a Bi-Amping connection for the front speakers, use an analog audio cable to connect the power amplier to the

PRE OUT HEIGHT 2 jacks, then connect the height speakers to the power amplier. (*6) This unit consists of a 9 ch amplier, so when using a bi-amp connection for the front speakers or when using ZONE 2 speakers, you will need to use an analog

Connecting the TV

Connect this unit between a TV and AV component. Connecting this unit with the TV can output the video and audio signals of the AV component to the TV, or play the audio of the TV on this unit. Connection with the TV differs depending on whether the TV supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function or eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) function. The ARC function and eARC function transmit the audio signals of the TV via an HDMI cable, and plays the audio of the TV on this unit. To

check if the TV supports the ARC function and eARC function, refer to the instruction manual of the TV, etc.

• The eARC function is a newly added function for HDMI 2.1. This is an expanded function from the existing ARC function, and is able to send audio formats such as

Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio that cannot be sent with the ARC function, from an eARC-compatible TV to this unit. ( p218)

that can transmit video and audio signals of the AV component to the TV even if

this unit is in standby mode.

Setup

• The HDMI CEC function and HDMI Standby Through function are automatically enabled if you select "Yes" for "4. ARC Setup" in Initial Setup

• To enjoy digital surround sound including Dolby Digital, set the audio output of the connected Blu-ray Disc player etc. to the Bitstream output.

(*)The HDMI CEC function: This function enables various linking operations with CEC-compliant devices, such as switching input selectors interlocking with a CEC-compliant player, switching audio output between TV and this unit or adjusting the volume using the remote controller of a CEC-compliant TV, and automatically switching this unit to standby when the TV is turned off.

Connecting an AV Component without HDMI Jack Mounted

This is a connection example of an AV component unequipped with an HDMI

jack. Select cables that match the jacks of the AV component for connection. For

example, when video input is connected to the BD/DVD jack, connect the audio input to BD/DVD jack, too. Thus, video input jacks and audio input jacks should have the same name for connection. Note that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jack are converted to HDMI video signals, and then output from the HDMI OUT jack.

• To enjoy digital surround playback in formats such as Dolby Digital, you need to make a connection for audio signals with a digital coaxial cable or a digital

optical cable.

• According to the illustration, changing the input assignment ( p155) enables connection to jacks other than the BD/DVD jack.

Setup

• The COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks are compatible only with 480i or 576i

resolution. When connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks, set the

output resolution of the player to 480i or 576i. If there is no option such as 480i, select interlace. If your player does not support 480i or 576i output, use

the VIDEO IN jack.
