If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can

cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal. The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

D3-4-2-2-1a_A1_En

CAUTION

The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for

a long period of time (for

example, when on vacation).

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.

•

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 institution’s rules that apply in your country or area.

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.

Connecting your equipment

Determining the speakers’ application

By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/ SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) (or the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR)), and the subwoofer (SW), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel can be enjoyed.

The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonly-used in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

SBL

SBR

FHL

Some tips for improving sound quality

•

VSX-1022 only: Both the surround back speakers and the front height speakers can be connected at the same time. In this case, sound will be output from either the front height speaker or the surround back speaker depending on which one was selected in the Speaker System setting (see The Speaker System setting (VSX-1022 only)

page 49).

•

VSX-822 only: To connect the surround back or front height speakers, an additional amplifier is required. Connect the additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of this unit and connect the

surround back or front height speakers to the additional amplifier (see Connect the surround back or front height

speakers (In case of VSX-822) on page 12).

FHR

VSX-1022 only: Another way, you can use the speakers connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. See Switching the speaker terminal

on page 14 for the listening options with this setup.

•

You will not be able to connect the B speakers if you connect the front height speakers in the main zone.

Further, if you use the B speakers, a 5.1 ch playback will be the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output from the surround back speaker.)

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.

•

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.

•

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

FHL

30 30

120 120

•

For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal distance from the 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.

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, we recommend placing the surround speaker right beside you.

If you intend to connect only one surround back speakers, place it directly behind you.

If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function

SBL

FHR

SBR

on page 35).

CAUTION

10 mm (3/8 in.)

10 mm

(3/8 in.)

•

Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and titled 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.

•

Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter directly above the left and right front speakers.

•

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.

•

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.

•

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 (MCACC)

on page 23.

•

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 the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

Connecting your equipment

•

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.

Connect the surround back or front height speakers (In case of VSX-1022)

The Speaker System setting must be set if the above connections are performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround back speaker is connected and Height if the front height speaker is connected (If neither the surround back speaker nor the front height speaker is connected, either setting will suffice) (see The Speaker System setting (VSX-1022 only)

page 49).

•

When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.

Connect the surround back or front height speakers (In case of VSX-822)

Connect the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of the unit and additional amplifier to add a surround back or front height speaker.

The Pre Out setting must be set if the above connections are performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround back speaker is connected and Height if the front height speaker is connected (If neither the surround back speaker nor the front height speaker is connected, either setting will suffice) (see
