Installation procedure

This unit can be used in a number of ways, depending on the layout of the speakers you are installing, and the connections made to external devices. Read the following to help make the installation process smoother.

Step1: Speaker Layout

Select the speaker layout that suits the types of speakers you have and the conditions they will be used in from the choices presented on pages P9 to P12, then install the speakers by referring to the illustrations and explanations on the relevant page. Speaker layouts include systems that use surround speakers and systems that use height speakers. Also refer to the combinations available in "Speaker combinations" on P13.

Step2: Connect the Speakers

Refer to P14 to connect the speaker system to this unit. The connection process will be smoother if you refer to the illustrations and explanations and prepare the required cables beforehand.

Step3: Connect the TV & AV Components

Refer to P15 to P19 to connect your external devices such as your TV, Blu-ray Disc Player, and also supplied accessories such as the antennas. The connection process will be smoother if you refer to the illustrations and explanations, confirm the connection types on the external devices, and prepare the required cables beforehand.

5.1 Channel System

Front speakers output front stereo sound and the center speaker outputs sounds emanating from the center of the screen, such as dialog and vocals. Surround speakers create the sound field at the rear. The powered subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and enriches the sound field. The optimal positioning for front speakers is at ear height, and for surround speakers it is just above ear height. The center speaker should be set up at an angle to face the listening position. Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music.

(Front High Speakers)

This is a 3.1-channel system consisting of front speakers, a center speaker, and a powered subwoofer, with the addition of front high speakers, a type of height speaker. Front high speakers should be situated at least 3y/0.9 m higher than the front speakers. They should also be put directly above the front speakers, angled to face the listening position.

0 We plan to provide support for the Dolby Atmos audio

format through firmware updates for this unit. After this firmware update, by installing height speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby Atmos.

Note that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack will be converted to HDMI video signals and then output from the HDMI OUT jack.

0 To enjoy digital surround playback, such as Dolby Digital,

the audio signals need to pass through a connection via digital coaxial cable or digital optical cable.

0 It is possible to change assignment of the input jacks you

see in the illustration at left, so you can also connect to any jack other than CBL/SAT (P45, 46).
