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.

S-VIDEO cable (not included)

The S-VIDEO (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than composite
video (the VIDEO jack) because the color is kept separate from the brightness
and chroma part of the video signal.

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 Video menu
to on.
Note: If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted
properly into the jacks.

Coaxial digital cable (not included)

This jack provides Dolby Digital/DTS sound quality by carrying the audio portion
of the signal. Use a coaxial digital cable to connect to the digital output of a
SAT receiver or DVD player.

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.

HDMI connector and cable (not included)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) provides optimum digital video
and audio quality. Use an HDMI cable to connect to an HDMI-supported monitor
to allow transfer of the digital images of DVD video and the stereo sound. If
your television is a high definition television, use the DVD player’s HDMI output
to get the highest possible video resolution. Set the HDMI option in the Video
menu to on. (See page 27)

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.

Note: When connecting the speakers, make sure
the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the
receiver. For example, red wire to red terminal
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.

Note: When connecting subwoofer, connect subwoofer
control cable to the unit’s rear panel first, then press the
power switch on the subwoofer speaker to switch it on.

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 45­degree 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.

Magnetic shielding

Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to
prevent picture distortion. Front, Center and Rear speakers provided with this unit are magnetically
shielded to protect your TV set.

Note: Place the subwoofer a foot or more away from TV when using the Front Surround sound Effect. (FSsE).

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.

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).
