02 Connecting your equipment

Connecting your equipment

Connecting your equipment

This receiver provides you with many connection possibilities, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. This chapter explains the kinds of components you can connect to make up your home theater system.

CAUTION

!Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Plugging in should be the final step.

!When making connections, also keep the power cords of the devices being connected unplugged from the power outlets.

!Depending on the device being connected (amplifier, receiver, etc.), the methods of connection and terminal names may differ from the explanations in this manual. Also refer to the operating instructions of the respective devices.

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 Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

!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.

A 7.2 ch surround system connects the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (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 subwoofers (SW 1/

SW 2).

It is not possible to produce sound simultaneously from the front height or front wide speakers and the surround back speakers.

This surround system produces a more true-to- life sound from above.

Other speaker connections

!Your favorite speaker connections can be selected even if you have fewer than 5.2 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 Full Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure. See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 19 .

Placing the speakers

Refer to the chart below for placement of the 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 speaker, place it directly behind you.

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

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.

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.

Note

! 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.

02 Connecting your equipment

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.

About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks. 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 several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Setup menu on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM), the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).

Note

!If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. 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 Operating Instructions in CD-ROM) 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.

!Only signals with an input resolution of 480i/576i can be converted from the

component video input for the composite

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®) 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)

!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), DVD-Audio, CD, SACD (DSD signal), Video CD, Super VCD

!Synchronized operation with components using the Control with HDMI function (see

Control with HDMI function on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM)

Note

!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® cable. If an 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.

!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/connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.

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 (ZONE 2) sub zone, and a separate TV

and a separate amplifier (and speakers) for your secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on page 16 for your primary sub zone. There are two primary sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you.

MULTI-ZONE listening options

The following table shows the signals that can be output to ZONE 2 and ZONE 3:

	Sub	Input functions available
	Zone
		DVD, TV/SAT, DVR/BDR, VIDEO,
		HOME MEDIA GALLERY, iPod/USB,
	ZONE 2 CD, TUNER, ADAPTER PORT
		(Outputs analog audio, composite
		video.)
		DVD, TV/SAT, DVR/BDR, VIDEO, CD,
	ZONE 3 TUNER, ADAPTER PORT
		(Outputs analog audio)

It is not possible to down-convert the audio and video input signals from the HDMI input

terminals, digital input terminals (OPTICAL and

COAXIAL) and the COMPONENT VIDEO input terminals and output them to ZONE 2.

Basic MULTI-ZONE setup (ZONE 2)

1Connect a separate amplifier to the AUDIO ZONE 2 OUT jacks on this receiver.

You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub zone amplifier as shown in the following illustration.

4Press then select START.

5Follow the instructions on-screen.

Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you’re using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to a comfortable volume level.

6Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the speaker configuration in the GUI screen.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it’s doing this.

If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the speaker configuration check screen is being displayed, the Full Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this case, you don’t need to select ‘OK’ and press ENTER in step 7.

!With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise! or Check microphone.), select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 20 ) and verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.

!If you see an ERR message (or the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a problem with the speaker

connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power and check the speaker connections. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply use i/jto select the speaker and k/lto change the setting and continue.

!If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.

If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.

—If the connections were wrong, turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly. After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure again.

—If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and continue.

7Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs more test tones to determine the optimum receiver settings.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.

8The Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and the Home Menu menu reappears automatically.

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Full Auto MCACC Setup.

!Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM.

!The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and room

characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

!If Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup

If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC Setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. If there are any instructions showing in the front panel display, please follow them.

!Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV when doing the Auto MCACC Setup.
