*1: 22° to 30°, *2: 90° to 110°, *3: 135° to 150°

This is a 7.1 Channel System that consists of the basic 5.1 Channel System

( p14) and added surround back speakers. Front speakers output the front stereo sound, and a center speaker outputs the sound of the center of the screen, such as dialogs and vocals. Surround speakers create the back sound eld. Powered subwoofer reproduces the bass sound, and creates the rich sound eld. Surround back speakers improves the sense of envelopment and connectivity of sound in the back sound eld, and provides a more real sound

eld. Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, when the input format is Dolby Atmos, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound,

The front speakers should be positioned at ear height while the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height. The center speaker should be set up facing the listening position at an angle. Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and the front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music sources. The surround back speakers should be positioned at ear height.

• If surround back speakers are installed, be sure to install surround speakers as well.

height speakers, when the input format is Dolby Atmos, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound including

overhead sound. Front high speakers or rear high speakers should be installed at least 3´/0.9 m higher than the front speakers.

Front high speakers should be installed directly above the front speakers, and the

distance between the rear high speakers should match the distance between the

front speakers. In both cases, the speakers should be set up facing the listening

Connecting an AV Component with HDMI Jack Mounted

This is a connection example of an AV component equipped with an HDMI jack.

When connecting with an AV component that conforms to the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) standard, you can use the HDMI CEC function (*) that enables linking with input selectors, etc. and the HDMI Standby Through function

that can transmit video and audio signals of the AV component to the TV even if this unit is in standby mode.

• To play 4K or 1080p video, use a high speed HDMI cable.

Setup

• The HDMI CEC function and HDMI Standby Through function are automatically enabled if you select “Yes” for “5. ARC Setup” in Initial Setup ( p112). If "No, Skip" is selected, settings are required in the System Setup menu after Initial Setup is completed. Settings are made in "System

Streaming media

player

Setup" - "Hardware" - "HDMI" in Home displayed by pressing on the remote controller. ( p91)

• To enjoy digital surround sound including Dolby Digital, set the audio output of the connected Blu-ray Disc player etc. to the Bitstream output.

(*)The HDMI CEC function: This function enables various linking operations with CEC-compliant devices, such as switching input selectors interlocking with a CEC-compliant player, switching audio output between TV and this unit or adjusting the volume using the remote controller of a CEC-compliant TV, and automatically switching this unit to standby when the TV is turned o󰀨.

Connecting an AV Component without HDMI Jack Mounted

This is a connection example of an AV component unequipped with an HDMI jack. Select cables that match the jacks of the AV component for connection. For

example, when video input is connected to the BD/DVD jack, connect the audio input to BD/DVD jack, too. Thus, video input jacks and audio input jacks should have the same name for connection. Note that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jack are converted to HDMI video signals, and then output from the HDMI OUT jack.

• To enjoy digital surround playback in formats such as Dolby Digital, you need to make a connection for audio signals with a digital coaxial cable or a digital optical cable.

• According to the illustration, changing the input assignment ( p82) enables connection to jacks other than the BD/DVD jack.

Setup

• The COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks are compatible only with 480i or 576i resolution. When connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks, set the

output resolution of the player to 480i or 576i. If there is no option such as

480i, select interlace. If your player does not support 480i or 576i output, use the VIDEO IN jack.

Further, if the turntable uses an MC type cartridge, install a phono equalizer compatible with the MC type cartridge between the unit and the turntable, and then connect it to any of the AUDIO IN jacks other than the PHONO jack.

If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the

GND terminal of this unit.
