•The Speaker System setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown above other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

• Sound does not come through simultaneously from the front height, front wide, speaker B and surround back speakers. Output speakers are different depending on the input signal or listening mode.

Connecting your equipment

Placing the speakers

Refer to the chart below for placement of the speakers you intend to connect.

FHL

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 any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

Bare wire connections

1 Twist exposed wire strands together. 2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire. 3 Tighten terminal.

Important

• 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.

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 your equipment

Installing your speaker system

At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessa ry. N ote tha t you r ma in s urround 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).

Standard surround connection

The front height terminals can also be used for the front wide and Speaker B 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 bi-amping. Doing so may damage your speakers.

Note

1 • 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 (DVIHDMI) 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.

2 • Use a High Speed HDMI

• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly. 3 Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component. 4 • 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.

Basic Setup

Important

• The procedure for setting the receiver operation mode differs for the remote controls included with the SC-LX83 and SC-LX73. For the SC-LX83’s remote control, set the remote control operation selector switch to RECEIVER. For the SC-LX73’s remote

control, press the button. When “set the

RECEIVER

remote control to the receiver operation mode” is indicated in these instructions, use the respective procedure described above.

Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC)

The Full Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker connection and speaker size, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.

SC-LX83 only: By performing the Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure, the frequency-phase characteristics of the connected speakers are also calibrated.

Once the Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed, the Full Band Phase Control function is automatically turned on.

Important

• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Full Auto MCACC Setup.

• Using the Full Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.

• Before using the Full Auto MCACC Setup, the headphones should be disconnected.

CAUTION

• The test tones used in the Full Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.
