Chapter 1:
Before you start
Checking what’s in the box
Please check that you’ve received the following
supplied accessories:
• When installing this unit, make sure to put
it on a level and stable surface.
Don’t install it on the following places:
– on a color TV (the screen may distort)
– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that
gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere
with the sound.
– in direct sunlight
– in damp or wet areas
– in extremely hot or cold areas
– in places where there is vibration or other
movement
– in places that are very dusty
– in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as
a kitchen)
• Do not touch this receiver’s bottom panel
while the power is on or just after it is
turned off. The bottom panel becomes hot
when the power is on (or right after it is
turned off) and could cause burns.
Loading the batteries
The batteries included with the unit are to
check initial operations; they may not last over
a long period. We recommend using alkaline
batteries that have a longer life.
CAUTION
Incorrect use of batteries may result in such
hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the
following precautions:
• Never use new and old batteries together.
• Insert the plus and minus sides of the
batteries properly according to the marks
in the battery case.
• Batteries with the same shape may have
different voltages. Do not use different
batteries together.
• When disposing of used batteries, please
comply with governmental regulations or
environmental public instruction’s rules
that apply in your country or area.
• WARNING
Do not use or store batteries in direct
sunlight or other excessively hot place,
such as inside a car or near a heater. This
can cause batteries to leak, overheat,
explode or catch fire. It ca n also reduce the
life or performance of batteries.

Determining the speakers’
application
This unit permits you to build various surround
systems, in accordance with the number of
speakers you have.
• Be sure to connect speakers to the front
left and right channels (L and R).
• It is also possible to only connect one of the
surround back speaker (SB) or neither.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.
[A] 9.1 channel surround system (Front

(C), the left and right front height speakers
(FHL/FHR), the left and right surround
speakers (SL/SR), the left and right surround
back speakers (SBL/SBR), and the subwoofer
(SW).
This surround system produces a more true-tolife sound from above.

• Speaker System setting: ZONE 2
With these connections you can
simultaneously enjoy 5.1-channel surround
sound in the main zone with stereo playback
on another component in ZONE 2 (The
selection of input devices is limited.)
Important
•The Speaker System setting must be
made if you use any of the connections
shown above other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on page 100).
• 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.
Other speaker connection
• Your favorite speaker connections can be
selected even if you have fewer than 5.1
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 Auto MCACC (speaker environment
setting) procedure.
See Automatically setting up for surround
sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37.

Placing the speakers
Refer to the chart below for placement of
speakers you intend to connect.
• 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 speakers, place it directly behind you.
• Place the left and right front height
speakers at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) directly above
the left and right front speakers.
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 (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 tilted
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.
• 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 any of the bare speaker
wire touches the back panel it may cause
the power to cut off as a safety measure.
If you want to use speaker cables terminated
with banana plugs, screw the speaker terminal
fully shut, then plug the banana plug into the
end of the speaker 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.
B-Speaker terminals:
1Twist exposed wire strands together.
2Push open the tabs and insert exposed
wire.
3Release the tabs.

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 biamping the speakers or you could severely
damage the amplifier. See your speaker
manual for more information.
20
En
• If your speakers have a removable
crossover network, make sure you do not
remove it for bi-amping. 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.
•To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker
cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.
Using a banana plug for the second
connection is recommended.
• Don’t connect different speakers from the

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 (DVIHDMI) 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,
•
these formats, however, make sure that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding
format.
2 • Use a High Speed HDMI® cable. If 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.
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/

MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to two independent
systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in two zones
at the same time or, depending on your needs,
the same source can also be used. The main
and sub zone have independent power (the
main zone power can be off while sub zone is
on) and the sub zone can be controlled by the
remote or front panel controls.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you
have a separate TV and speakers for the sub
zone (ZONE 2). You will also need a separate
amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) below
for the sub zone.
MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can
be output to ZONE 2:
Sub Zone Input functions available
