6. 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 /ROOM EQ SETUP" on page 47.)

■Surround back speakers

• When using only one surround back speaker, you should connect it to SURROUND BACK/ MULTI LEFT channel.

• Because this receiver cannot drive the surround back speakers and the ROOM 2 speakers simultaneously, you should assign their power amplifier correctly depending on how to use them. (For details, refer to "CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTS" on page 12 and "When selecting the AMP Assign" on page 45.)

ENGLISH

■Front Bi-Amp Connections.

• Some speakers are equipped with two sets of input terminals, for bi-amplification.

• If no other surround back speakers are used, you can connect the FRONT and the SURROUND BACK/MULTI channels to the biamp-capable speakers. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of your bi-amp-capable speakers.)

• To drive the bi-amp-capable speakers, you should assign the power amplifier to "Bi AMP".

■Note :

• Before making bi-amp connections, remove the short-circuiting bars from the terminals of your speakers.

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.

2. Lossen by turning the speaker terminal counterclockwise.

ENGLISH

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.

■Surround back left and right speakers

• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the front at a narrower distance than front speakers.

• When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm ) than the surround speakers.

• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.

■Subwoofer

• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.

3. Insert the bare part of the wire.

1. TV or Screen

2. Front left speaker

3. Subwoofer

4. Center speaker

5. Front right speaker

6. Surround left speaker

4. Tighten by turning it clockwise.

7. Surround right speaker

8. Surround back left speaker

9. Surround back right speaker

10. Surround center speaker

11. Listening position

■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.

7. CONNECTING SUBWOOFER PRE OUT

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

When selecting the Auto Setup

• Auto Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. Auto Setup has the feature that provides the optimum listening environment at the listening position in your room. You should connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information from a series of test tones emitted from speakers at main listening position and can adjust the configuration, distance, sound level, crossover frequency and frequency response of each speaker automatically.

• If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the "When selecting the Speaker Configuration" on page 50, "When selecting the Speaker Crossover" on page 51, "When selecting the Speaker Distance" on page 52 and "When Selecting the Channel Level" on page 53.

• After the auto setup has been completed, set the room EQ as desired. (For details, refer to "When selecting the Room EQ" on page 49.)

■Preparations

①. Check that the speakers are securely connected to this receiver.

• If your subwoofer has adjustable volume and crossover frequency, set the volume halfway and set the crossover frequency to the maximum or the low pass filter off.

②. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.(For details, refer to "SETUP MIC JACK" on

page 14.)

■Notes :

• Because the microphone for Auto Setup is designed for use with this receiver, to use the auto setup function, do not use a microphone other than the one supplied with this receiver.

• After you have completed the auto setup procedure, disconnect the microphone.

1. Place the microphone on a flat level surface at the listening position.

• If possible, use a tripod, etc. to attach the microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.

• Ensure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
