A
! It is also possible to only connect one of the
R
surround back speakers (SB) or neither.
SL
! If you have two subwoofers, the second
subwoofer can be connected to the
SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two
subwoofers increases the bass sound to
achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In
this case, the same sound is output from the
two subwoofers.
Important
! The Speaker System setting must be made if
you use any of the connections shown below
other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on
page 87).
! The speakers from which sound is output
can be switched according to the speaker
layout/usage pattern (sound is not necessarily
output from all connected speakers). Use
the SPEAKERS button to switch the speakers
from which sound is output. For details, see
A 9.2 ch surround system connects the left and
right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker
(C), the left and right front height speakers
(FHL/FHR), the left and right front wide speakers (FWL/FWR), the left and right surround
speakers (SL/SR), the left and right surround
back speakers (SBL/SBR), and the subwoofers
(SW 1/SW 2).
It is not possible to produce sound simultaneously from the front height speakers and the
front wide speakers.

Other speaker connections
! Your favorite speaker connections can be
selected even if you have fewer than 5.2
speakers (except front left/right speakers).
! 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
Full Auto MCACC (speaker environment
setting) procedure. See Automatically
conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto
MCACC) on page 34.

! 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 / front wide speakers, we
recommend placing the surround speaker
right beside you.
! If you intend to connect only one surround
back speaker, place it directly behind you.
! Place the left and right front height speakers
at least one meter directly above the left and
right front speakers.
THX speaker system setup
If you are using a THX certified subwoofer, use
the THX INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your
subwoofer has one) or switch the filter position
to THX on your subwoofer.
See also THX Audio Setting on page 89 to make
the settings that will give you the best sound
experience when using the Home THX modes
(page 46).

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.
! 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 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 higher than your
ears and tilted slightly downward. Make sure
the speakers don’t face each other. For DVDAudio, 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.

Connecting the speakers
Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a positive (+) and negative (–) terminal.
Make sure to match these up with the terminals
on the speakers themselves.
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 core wires touch each
other or come in contact with the rear panel or
the metal parts of other speaker terminals, the
protective circuit may be activated, setting the
power to the standby mode.
Bare wire connections
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.
1 Twist exposed wire strands together.
2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed
wire.
3 Tighten terminal.
12 3
10 mm
Note
! Please refer to the manual that came with
your speakers for details on how to connect
the other end of the speaker cables to your
speakers.
! Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer.
It is not possible to connect using speaker
cables.
! If you have two subwoofers, the second
subwoofer can be connected to the
SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two
subwoofers increases the bass sound to
achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In
this case, the same sound is output from the
two subwoofers.
Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-amping is when you connect the high
frequency driver and low frequency driver of
your speakers to different amplifiers for better
crossover performance. Your speakers must be
bi-ampable to do this (having separate terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the kind of speakers you’re
using.

CAUTION
! Most speakers with both High and Low
terminals have two metal plates that connect
the High to the Low terminals. These must
be removed when you are bi-amping the
speakers or you could severely damage the
amplifier. See your speaker manual for more
information.
! If your speakers have a removable crossover
network, make sure you do not remove it for biamping. Doing so may damage your speakers.
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support bi-amping.
! With these connections, the Speaker System
setting makes no difference.
CAUTION
! Don’t connect different speakers from the
same terminal in this way.
! When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for
bi-amping shown above.
% To bi-wire a speaker, connect two
speaker cords to the speaker terminal on
the receiver.

Installing your speaker system
At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that your main surround
speakers should always be connected as a pair, but you can connect just one surround back
speaker if you like (it must be connected to the left surround back terminal).
[A] 9.2 channel surround system (Front height/Front wide) connection
! If necessary, select ‘9.1ch FH/FW’ from the Speaker System menu.
See Speaker system setting on page 87 to do this.
! When only connecting one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single)
terminals.

About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video
sources are output through all of the MONITOR
VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is HDMI:
since this resolution cannot be downsampled,
you must connect your monitor/TV to the
receiver’s HDMI output when connecting this
video source.
If several video components are assigned to
the same input function (see The Input Setup
menu on page 36), the converter gives priority
to HDMI, component, then composite (in that
order).

Note
! 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 Digital Video Conversion
(in Setting the Video options on page 59) OFF.
! 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 signals cannot be
converted.
! Only signals with an input resolution
of 480i/576i can be converted from the
component video input for the composite
MONITOR OUT terminals.
! For optimal video performance, THX
recommends switching Digital Video
Conversion (in Setting the Video options on
page 59) OFF.

About HDMI
The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed
digital video, as well as almost every kind of
digital audio.
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
! ARC (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, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio),
DVD-Audio, CD, SACD (DSD signal), Video
CD, Super VCD
! Synchronized operation with components
using the Control with HDMI function (see
Control with HDMI function on page 54)
Note
! An HDMI connection can only be made
with DVI-equipped components compatible
with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to
connect to a DVI connector, you will need a
separate adaptor (DVIdHDMI) to do so. A DVI
connection, however, does not support audio
signals. Consult your local audio dealer for
more information.
! If you connect a component that
is not compatible with HDCP, an
HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the
front panel display. Some components that
are compatible with HDCP still cause this
message to be displayed, but so long as there
is no problem with displaying video this is not
a malfunction.
! Depending on the component you have
connected, using a DVI connection may result
in unreliable signal transfers.
! This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital
Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master
Audio. To take advantage of these formats,
however, make sure that the component
connected to this receiver also supports the
corresponding format.
! Use a High Speed HDMI
®
cable. If an 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.
! Signal transfer is 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.

Connecting your TV and playback components
Connecting using HDMI
If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped component (Blu-ray Disc player (BD), etc.), you
can connect it to this receiver using a commercially available HDMI cable.
If the TV and playback components support the Control with HDMI feature, the convenient Control
with HDMI functions can be used (see Control with HDMI function on page 54).
Other HDMI/DVIequipped component
HDMI OUT HDMI OUT
! When connecting to an HDMI/DVI-compatible monitor using the HDMI OUT 2 terminal, switch the
HDMI output setting to HDMI OUT 2 or HDMI OUT ALL. See Switching the HDMI output on page
62.
! For input components, connections other than HDMI connections are also possible (see
Connecting your DVD player with no HDMI output on page 25).
! If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio
cables.
— When the TV and receiver are connected by HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI ARC
(Audio Return Channel) function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via the HDMI OUT
terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set TV Audio at HDMI Setup
to via HDMI (see HDMI Setup on page 54).

Connecting your DVD player with no HDMI output
This diagram shows connections of a TV (with HDMI input) and DVD player (or other playback component with no HDMI output) to the receiver.
! If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio
cables (page 25).
— When the TV and receiver are connected by HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI ARC
(Audio Return Channel) function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via the HDMI OUT
terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set TV Audio at HDMI Setup
to via HDMI (see HDMI Setup on page 54).
! If you use an optical digital audio cable, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digital input you
connected the player to (see The Input Setup menu on page 36).

! The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Speaker
system setting on page 87.
! The audio signal input to MULTI CH IN cannot be downmixed.
! If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 85) to
LARGE.
! 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 (SURROUND BACK L (Single)) terminal only.
! The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Speaker
system setting on page 87.
! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2
terminal. Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound
reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.
! To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any
speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.
