Getting Started
Connecting to Audio-Visual Components
DIGITAL CONNECTION
S-VIDEO
If your video component has a S-Video jack included, you can make use of it to enjoy enhanced video quality by connecting it to the relevant S-Video jack at the rear side of the receiver. One S-video cable is needed for each component. When S-Video cable is used, composite video (yellow RCA connector) cable must also be connected for VCR recording. Note: Before plugging in the optical cable or S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of
the plug and jack, otherwise, you will not be able to plug in completely.
DVD
If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial digital input for the connection of your components. Please connect your components (e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to select the corresponding digital input source.
Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theater.

Speakers
There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front,
1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects, all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver.
At least two front speakers (left and right) are required. For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.
If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.
Speaker wires
1 for each speaker, is
needed for connection. Twist the stripped ends of speaker cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Release tab to lock wire in the

NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the Antenna and speaker wires at all connection points.
To ease speaker connections, the speaker wires and the terminals are color-coded.
•White/Black (Front Left Speaker),
•Red/Black (Front Right Speaker),
•Green/Black (Center Speaker)
•Blue/Black (Rear Left Speaker).
•Grey/Black (Rear Right Speaker).
•Purple/Black (Subwoofer)
Connect the L, R speakers at the back of the speakers to the corresponding color on the receiver. Do the same for center (with green/black terminal), rear speaker and the subwoofer (with purple/black terminal).
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass (“out of phase” effect).
Connecting the Subwoofer
Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (purple/ black) provided.
This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more information please refer to section “Fine Setting of the Speakers” in “Advanced Sound Control” on page
20.

Getting Started
Positioning your speaker
1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)
They carry primarily music and sound effects
2 Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.
3 Surround (Rear Speakers)
Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. It is therefore recommended to connect subwoofers when small speakers are used.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.
It is not recommended to place the rear speakers near the TV set.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead EN of them.

Advanced Setting
Angle
Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45degree angle with your favorite viewing position will duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective.
