Connections and Setup
Connecting to audiovisual equipment
Explanation of jacks and cables
The jacks on the back of your receiver (pictured left) and
the cables shown below are used to connect to other
components.
The video jacks are OUT jacks, which need to be
connected to IN jacks on the TV or monitor you’re
connecting to (so the video content goes from the
receiver to the screen). The audio jacks are IN jacks,
which need to be connected to OUT jacks
on the component you’re connecting to, so the sound
from the component comes into the receiver (and out
through the speakers).
Video cables
Composite video cable (included)
The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite
video. Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).
Component video cables (Pr, Pb, Y) (not included)
The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality by separating the video
signal into three parts. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three videograde cables for the connection. You can also buy bundled component video
cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr inputs (green, blue and red).
Note: If your television is a high definition television, use the DVD player’s progressive scan output
to get the highest possible video resolution. Set the Progressive Scan option in the Display menu
to On (see page 20).
Note: If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted
properly into the jacks.
Audio cables (not included)
AUDIO IN L (left) and AUDIO IN R (right)
These jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for
left audio).
Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white
L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.

Connections and Setup
Connecting the speakers
Six speakers are provided with the unit (2 front,
1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). To achieve good
surround effects, all six speakers need to be
connected to the receiver.
One speaker wire is provided with each
speaker. Speaker wires are color-coded to
match the terminals.
Connect the speaker wire from the back of
each speaker to the corresponding color
terminal at the back of the unit. Press down
the tab to open the terminal and insert the
wire (1). Release the tab to lock wire in the
terminal (2). Do the same for center speaker,
rear speakers and the subwoofer.
Note: When connecting the speakers, make sure
the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the
receiver) of speaker wires and terminals match.
If the cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted. Do not ground the output line, it will
damage the speaker.
Positioning speakers
Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound
effects.
Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries
most of the dialog as well as music and effects.
It should be set between the left and right
speakers.
Surround (Rear Speakers)
The rear speakers’ 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 heighten
the action on the screen.

Front speaker placement
Follow the suggestions for speaker placement below to
get the best results.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly
behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead
of them.
Angle
Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree
angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate
the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.
Height
The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front
speakers should be as close as possible to the same
height. This often requires placing the center speaker
directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.
Preferred surround placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the
listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above
viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not
down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious
surround sound field.
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or
towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement
until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come
from behind you.
Connections and Setup
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.
Note: It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.

No adjacent walls
Surround speakers can go on stands facing each
other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or
to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed
upwards; they can go right on the floor, or
preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on
end tables (B).
Test tone/Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal
generator for balancing the channels. As the
signal “travels” from channel to channel, adjust
the level controls until each channel plays at
the same loudness level (see page 22).
Level adjustment and surround channel
level expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel
to be as loud as the others on the test signal,
on actual program material the surround
channel is usually much lower than the front.
Don’t re-adjust the surround level; program
producers use surround for subtle atmospherics
and ambience, and only rarely for special
effects.
