System Connections

Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed.

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

ENGLISH

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, an LD player or satellite system.

There are three types of video jacks (COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, (composite) VIDEO) for analog video connections and the HDMI connectors for digital video and audio connections. Connect them to the corresponding video jacks according to their capability.

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

When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect "Y" to "Y", "PB/CB" to "CB"(or "B-Y", "PB") and "PR/CR" to "CR"(or "R-Y", "PR").

Note :

When recording video program sources through VIDEO 1 OUT jacks or viewing video program sources through MONITOR

OUT jack, you must use the same type of video jacks that you did connect to video playback components such as DVD player, LD 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.

This receiver can output digital video and digital audio signals from the HDMI MONITOR OUT of this receiver without passing through any circuits as they were input into the HDMI IN(, meaning the audio signals which are input into the HDMI IN cannot be reproduced on this receiver).

This receiver is HDMI Ver. 1.3 compatible.

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

Notes :

Depending on the connected component, unreliable signal transfer may happen.

(For details, refer to the operating instruction of your component.)

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

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.

ENGLISH

4. CONNECTING EXTERNAL INs

Use these jacks to connect the corresponding analog outputs of 6 CH decoder or DVD player with 6 CH output for Dolby Digital or DTS, etc.

(For details, see the operator's manual of the component to be connected.)

RD-6513(A) 2008.8.21 12:19 PM 9

5. CONNECTING DIGITAL INs

The OPTICAL and the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTs of the components that are connected to CD and VIDEO 1 ~

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

All 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.)

6. CONNECTING SUBWOOFER PRE OUT

• To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered subwoofer.

7. CONNECTING SPEAKERS

• 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.

For installing the speakers, refer to "Speaker placement" on page 10.

• 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.

8. AC INPUT CORD

Plug the cord into a wall AC outlet.

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.
