Installing the Amplifier
Ventilation
• When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at
least 60 cm at the top, 10 cm at the rear, and 30 cm at each side). If not enough space is provided between
the unit and walls or other equipment, heat will build up inside, interfering with performance or causing
malfunctions.
• Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa or fabric having a thick pile. Do not cover with fabric or other
covering.
Anything that blocks ventilation will cause the internal temperature to rise, which may lead to breakdown or
fire hazard.

Connecting Your Equipment
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power switch and disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet.
• To cover all possible Laser Discs, a DVD/LD player or LD player requires an analog connection and two digital
connections (p.11).
• Regarding a DVD player, you must use the analog connections (Video Components (p.9)) and the digital
connection (p.10).
Audio Components
To begin set up connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections
and your analog audio components (turntable, cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components
you want to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for
components that only play (like a turntable) you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use
DTS surround sound features you must hook up your digital components to the digital inputs but it is also a good
idea to hook up your digital components to analog audio jacks. If you want to record to/from digital components
(like an MD) to/from analog components you must hook up your digital equipment with these analog
connections. See p.10-11 for more on digital connections.
The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

Depending on where the cassette deck is placed,
noise may occur during playback of your cassette
deck which is caused by leakage flux from the
transformer in the amplifier. If you experience noise,
move the cassette deck farther away from the
amplifier.
Connecting Your Equipment
Video Components
Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding digital video components (like a DVD),
you must use the analog connections pictured on this page for the video signal but in order to use Dolby Digital/
DTS you should hook up their audio to a digital input (see the next page). It is also a good idea to hook up your
digital components with analog audio connections as well (see the previous page). To cover all possible laser
discs a DVD/LD player or LD player requires an analog connection (as shown here) and two digital connections
(see page 11).

Connecting Your Equipment
Digital Connections
In order to use MPEG/Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks you need to make digital audio connections. You can do
this by either coaxial or optical connections (you don’t need to do both). The quality of these two types of
connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter
of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the amplifier). The
VSA-E07 has two coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs. You can assign the jacks to the
proper component(s). Refer to “DIGITAL INPUT SELECT” on page 36. A DVD/LD player or LD player should be
connected to a digital jack and the special
(see the previous page).
Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/
MPEG OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and
CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.

Connecting Your Equipment
Speakers
A full complement of six speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone's home set up will vary. Simply
connect the speakers you have in the manner described below. The VSA-E07 will work with just two stereo
speakers (called "front" speakers in the diagram) but the amplifier is designed to be used with at least three
speakers.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left
terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the amplifier match those on the speakers.
The VSA-E07 has two speaker systems, A & B. A is the main system supporting the full complement of
surround sound speakers. If you switch on both A & B speaker systems, only front speakers and the
sub-woofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center or surround speakers but multi channel
sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if you choose just
the B system you‘ll only hear the front speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources
will be down-mixed to these two speakers.
Please use speakers with a nominal impedance rated 6Ω-16Ω.

Speaker placement
If you have a multiple speaker arrangement the placement of the speakers is extremely important. To achieve
the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Make sure all speakers are installed
securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. Be sure to consult your speaker manuals for the best
placement of the speakers. Some speakers are designed to be floor-standing but others benefit greatly from
speakers stands which raise them off the floor.
14
En
• Install the left and right front speakers at equal distances from the TV.
• When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to
prevent possible interference such as distortion in the color of the TV screen. If you do not have
magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV screen, place the speakers farther
away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized
at the TV screen.
CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other
suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as
earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.
• If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
• It may be difficult to obtain a cohesive surround effect if the surround speakers are installed farther
away from the listening position than the front and center speakers.
Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting Additional Amplifiers
Although the VSA-E07 has more than sufficient power for any home use, it is possible to add additional
amplifiers to your system. If you want to use separate amplifiers to power your speakers, make the
connections shown below.

Initial Set Up
U
On Screen Display
There are a number of possible ways to hook up the amplifier to your video components, like a DVD player, and
hook up to your amplifier to your TV, but some of them won't allow you to use the on-screen display of this unit.
To avoid this one simply needs to follow two rules.
1 Always use the same type of video cords to hook up your video components to the amplifier as you use to
hook up the amplifier and your TV. For example, if you use composite video cords to hook up your DVD and
the amplifier, use composite video cords to hook up the amplifier to your TV. If you use S video cords to hook
up your DVD and the amplifier, use S video cords to hook up the amplifier to your TV.
2 Always make sure your TV is set to the appropriate input channel (for example, video 1). Your TV may have a
number of input channels and if you don't select the proper one you won't be able to use this amplifier's onscreen display, or, in fact, see any picture from this amplifier at all. If you are unsure how to choose an input
channel for your TV, refer to the manual which came with your TV.
You might, for example, use both composite and S video cords to hook up your video components with this
amplifier and then use composite video cords to hook up this amplifier to your TV. This arrangement would still
NOT let you see the on screen displays from this amplifier on your TV. The best idea is just to use one type of
video cord for all your video component and TV hook ups.
Switching video system between PAL and NTSC
This amplifier is able to use two types of video systems for its OSD (on screen display) and you need to set the
amplifier to the type of video system you have, either PAL or NTSC. If you do not match the system on the
amplifier with your home system no OSD will appear on your TV. People with multi-system TVs, don’t need to
worry about changing the setting. If necessary, follow the instructions below to switch the type of video
system.
