• Please be certain that this unit is unplugged from the AC outlet before making any connections.

• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the operating instructions of the component connected.

• Be sure to observe the color coding when connecting audio, video and speaker cords.

• Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.

ENGLISH

1. CONNECTING ANTENNAS

• Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.

• A 75Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception. Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.

• Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a direction for the best reception.

• If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.

2. CONNECTING VIDEO COMPONENTS

• The jacks of VIDEO 1 may also be connected to a DVD recorder or other digital video recording component. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component to be connected.

• The jacks of VIDEO 2 can also be connected to an additional video component such as a cable TV tuner or satellite system.

• There are (composite) VIDEO jacks for analog video connections and the HDMI connectors for digital video and audio

connections.

• For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows : "HDMI” > "(composite) VIDEO".

■Notes :

• When recording video program sources through the (composite) VIDEO 1 OUT jack or viewing video program sources

through the (composite) MONITOR OUT jack, you must connect the (composite) VIDEO IN jack to the video playback components such as BD player, DVD player, etc.

■HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connection : (*)

• You can connect the source component (DVD player, etc.) to the display component (TV, projector, etc.) through this receiver

with using a commercially available HDMI cord.

• The HDMI connection can carry uncompressed digital video signals and digital audio signals.

• The HDMI video stream signals (video signals) are theoretically compatible with DVI-D. When connecting to a TV monitor,

etc., equipped with DVI-D connector, it is possible to connect using a commercially available HDMI-DVI converter cord. Since the HDMI-to-DVI connection cannot carry any audio signals, set the HDMI AUDIO OUT to AMP to hear the HDMI digital audio signals on this receiver.(For details, refer to "When selecting the HDMI AUDIO OUT" on page 42.)

ENGLISH

■Copyright protection system

• This unit supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), technology to protect copyright of digital video signals

against illegal duplication. HDCP must also be supported on the components connected to this unit.

• HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing

LLC.

■Notes :

• For stable signal transfer, we recommend using HDMI cables that are a maximum of 5 meters in length.

• Among the components that support HDMI, some components can control other components via the HDMI connector.

For details on the HDMI function, refer to “CONFIRMING THE HDMI FUNCTION” on page 28 and “SETTING THE HDMI” on page 42.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the

component that is connected.

• The video signals will not be output properly if a component incompatible with HDCP is connected.

• If the resolutions of the video signals which are output from the MONITOR OUTs and your monitor TV are not matched, the

picture is not clear, natural or displayed. In this case, change the setting of the resolution on the source component (BD player, etc.) to one which the monitor TV can handle. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of the source component.)

• When you want to enjoy only the picture on your TV, not the sound, you should set the HDMI AUDIO OUT to AMP not to

output the digital audio signal from the HDMI MONITOR OUT of this receiver. (For details, refer to "When selecting the HDMI AUDIO OUT" on page 42.)

3. CONNECTING AUDIO COMPONENTS

• The TAPE IN/OUT jacks can be connected to audio recording equipment such as a tape deck, an MD recorder, etc.

• The HDMI IN of CD can be connected to an additional video component without analog video jacks.

(VIDEO 1)

COAX 1

(VIDEO 2)

• The OPTICAL and the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTs of the

components that are connected to CD, VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 of this unit can be connected to these DIGITAL INs.

• A digital input should be connected to the components such as a

CD player, DVD player, etc. capable of outputting DTS Digital Surround, Dolby Digital or PCM format digital signals, etc.

• For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component

connected.

• When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL connection, be sure to use

a 75Ω COAXIAL cord, not a conventional AUDIO cord.

• Some of the commercially available optical fiber cords cannot be

used for the equipment. If there is an optical fiber cord which cannot be connected to your equipment, consult your dealer or nearest service organization.

■Note :

• Be sure to make either a OPTICAL or a COAXIAL DIGITAL

connection on each component. (You don’t need to do both.)

■Digital input default settings

• If you connect the DIGITAL INs to your components, it is easier to do so following the default settings.

• If your DIGITAL connections are different from default settings, you should assign the DIGITAL INs you used with the “When

selecting the AUDIO ASSIGN” procedure on page 33.

• The default settings are as follows :

OPTICAL IN : VIDEO 1, COAX 1 IN : VIDEO 2, COAX 2 IN : CD

5. CONNECTING SUBWOOFER PREOUT

ENGLISH

• To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered

subwoofer.

• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly

according to the channel(left and right) and the polarity (+ and -). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

ENGLISH

• For installing the speakers, refer to "Speaker placement"

on page 9.

• After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker

settings according to your environment and speaker

layout. (For details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP" on page 34.)

Caution :

• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms or above.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.

• Never touch the speaker terminals while the AC input cord is connected to the wall AC outlet. Doing so could result in electric shocks.

■Connecting speaker wire

1. Strip away approx. 10 mm (3/8 inch) of wire insulation, then twist the wire ends tight.

7. AC INPUT CORD

• Plug the cord into a wall AC outlet.

8. TERMINAL FOR UPGRADES

• This terminal may be used in the future to update the operating software so that it will be able to support new digital audio formats, etc.

■Note :

• Programming for upgrades requires specialized programming knowledge and for that reason we recommend that it only be done by qualified installers.

2. Loosen by turning the speaker terminal counterclockwise.

3. Insert the bare part of the wire.

4. Tighten by turning it clockwise.

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows :

■Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.

• Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.

• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the main listening position.

■Surround left and right speakers

• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.

■Subwoofer

• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.

Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.

■Notes :

• When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center speakers.

• To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.
