• Additional component video cables (not supplied) are required to provide best picture quality. They are usually color-coded green, blue and red.
• Connect the component video OUT jacks on the receiver to the component video IN jacks on your TV so the video content goes from the receiver to the screen.
Method 1
Composite video jack (yellow)
• The basic video jack is color-coded yellow.
• Video cable (yellow) is supplied for the connection for good picture quality.
• Connect the video OUT jack on the receiver to the Video IN jack on your TV so the video content goes from the receiver to the screen.
• If your television is a high de nition television, use the unit’s HDMI output to get the highest possible video resolution. If unable to use a HDMI connection, use the unit’s component video output and set the Progressive Scan option in the Video menu to ON, to get the next highest possible video resolution.
• If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted properly into the jacks.
• 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.
Connecting to your TV (via HDMI input)
HDMI stands for High De nition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital video on a single cable. Press the HDMI button on the remote control to change output signals as follows: 480p, 720p,1080i and 1080p.
Notes:
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected TV as well.

Use a  ber optical cable for this digital audio connection (cable not included). Press OPTICAL button on remote control or SOURCE button on main unit to select OPTICAL for digital audio output components.
Notes
• Ø3.5mm to Ø3.5mm audio cables (not included) are required.
• To listen to the audio input from the connected component, press SOURCE on the main unit or LINE-IN / AUX on the remote control to toggle to LINE IN mode.
Suggest using Ø3.5mm LINE IN jack for mp3 player and rear AUX IN jacks for equipment such as a TV, VCR, Satellite or Cable Box.
Connecting the speakers
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. Release the tab to lock wire in the terminal.
• 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 let the speaker wires touch each other, it will damage the Home Theater’s ampli er.

Speaker gains may be set to levels of up to +10dB, actual max levels may also depend on your Volume Setting.
Note:
Insert 2 “AAA”(“UM-4”/”R03”) batteries to the remote control prior to use.
1. Left, Right (Front Speakers) Front speakers carry primarily music and sound
e ects.
2. Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries most
of the dialog as well as music and e ects.
It should be set between the left and right peakers.
3. Surround (Rear Speakers) The surround speakers’ overall sound balance
should be as close as possible to the front peakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound  eld.
4. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass e ects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.).
Front speaker placement
For best results, follow the speaker placement below.
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 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.
Positioning speakers
Accessories provided
Things to consider before you connect
• Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identi cation sticker located on the back of your unit.
• Install your unit horizontally, away from any source of heat ( replace) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric  elds. The components of this unit are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35°C / 95°F.
• Leave enough space around the unit to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm/4 inches on either side and above the top, and 5 cm/2 inches at the rear.
• The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the unit outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water. The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects  lled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.
• Moving the unit from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on some components inside the unit. Let the condensation disappear on its own before turning the unit on again.
• Before moving the unit, make sure the disc tray is empty.
One Pig-Tail antenna wire
Composite Video Cable
One external AM loop antenna
Better 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 e ects.
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  oor, or preferably, a few feet o the  oor such as on end tables (B).
Test tone/Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator to help you balance the audio level for each channel. See Audio Setup under The Setup Menu section for more details on how to access this feature.
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, you might  nd that surround channels seems quieter for actual TV and Movie content. This is because producers use surround for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special e ects.

Out of Warranty
Dolby Pro Logic The Pro Logic mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Mono Surround channel audio signals and uses all  ve speakers to play both stereo and Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TV and VCR. You can use this mode with any stereo program source (such as VCR/TV) to enjoy multi-channel sound experience.
Dolby Digital The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and a more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. The new system provides stereo separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left). Adding the subwoofer channel to the 5 channels for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel) results in 5.1 channels (or 6 Channels) that bring you the most sophisticated Dolby Digital sound enjoyment.
IMPORTANT!
Once Progressive Scan has been activated, an image will only be visible on a progressive scan TV or monitor. If you choose this option and you don’t have a progressive scan TV or monitor, you may get a picture with incorrect color or no color.
