Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

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.
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 can also reduce the life or perfor­mance of batteries.
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. ! When inserting the batteries, make sure not to damage the springs on the battery’s (–) terminals. This can
cause batteries to leak or overheat.
! 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 insti-
tution’s rules that apply in your country/area.

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 speakers (SB) or neither. ! 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.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.
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 89).
! 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 OUT P. button to switch the speakers from which sound is output. For details, see Switching the speaker terminals on page 71.

! 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 38.

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

FHL
FWL
SL
! 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 (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 suffi-
cient 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 slightly 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 speak-
ers. 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. This unit supports speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 W to 16 W.
CAUTION
! These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when con-
necting 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
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.

10 mm (3/8 in.)
Notes
! 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.
Banana plug connections
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.

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).
Standard surround connection
The front height terminals can also be used for the front wide and Speaker B speakers.

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 bi-amping. Doing so
may damage your speakers.

Connecting your equipment
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.
Using a banana plug for the second connection is recommended.

About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through the HDMI OUT terminal. If the TV is only connected to the receiver’s composite VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks, all the other video devices must be connected through composite connections. If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Setup menu on page 40), the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).

Notes
! With factory default settings, video from the video cable or component cable will not be output from the HDMI
terminal. To output video, you must switch video input to the device connected with the video cable or compo­nent cable and set V.CONV to ON (page 69).
! 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 the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or dis-
play. 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 69) 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.

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®/TM) 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) ! 4K signal transfer
— This may not operate properly, depending on the connected equipment. — 4K 24p, 4K 25p, 4K 30p, 4K 50p and 4K 60p signals are supported.
! 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), CD, SACD (DSD signal)
! Synchronized operation with components using the Control with HDMI function (see Control with HDMI func-
tion on page 62)
Notes
! 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®/TM Cable. If an HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI®/TM 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/con-
necting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.

! When connecting to an HDMI/DVI-compatible monitor using the HDMI OUT 2 terminal, switch the HDMI
output setting to OUT 2 or OUT 1+2. See Switching the HDMI output on page 71.
Also, MAIN/HDZONE must be set to MAIN beforehand (page 94). ! For input components, connections other than HDMI connections are also possible (see Connecting your DVD
player with no HDMI output on page 26).
! 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 can be input to the receiver via the HDMI OUT terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set ARC at HDMI Setup to ON (see HDMI Setup on
page 63).
After setting the ARC, some time may be required for the connected device to be recognized and the sound to
be produced.
— If you use a coaxial digital audio cable or RCA (analog) audio cable, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digi-
tal or analog audio input you connected the TV to (see The Input Setup menu on page 40).
— Please refer to the TV’s operation manual for directions on connections and setup for the TV.

MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to three independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections. Different sources can be playing in three zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zones have independent power (the main zone power can be off while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones 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 your primary sub zone (ZONE 2). You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the speaker terminals for your primary sub zone. (For details, see MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on page 31.) Also, if the separate receiver in the sub zone has an HDMI input terminal, this unit’s HDMI input can be played as HDZONE. Here are two primary sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you.
Important
! The settings must be changed at ZONE Setup in order to use the multi-zone function (page 94). ! MAIN/HDZONE at ZONE Setup must be set to HDZONE in order to use the HDZONE function (page 94).
