When you make connection A

This connection can send both video and audio signals.

• Video signals from the HDMI (IN 1/2) jacks are sent to the HDMI (OUT) jack only when the “HDMI1” or “HDMI2” function is selected.

• To send an audio signal from the HDMI (IN 1/2) jacks to the HDMI (OUT) jack, you may need to change the audio output setting. For details, see [Audio Output] in [Audio Settings] (page 44).

When you make connection B, C

Getting Started

Connect the system so that video signals from the system and other component are sent to the TV, and audio signals from the component are sent to the system.

• If you make connection B, C, set [Control for HDMI] in [HDMI Settings] of [System Settings] to [Off] (page 46).

• You can enjoy component sound by selecting the “AUDIO” function for connection B.

FM wire antenna (aerial) (supplied)

• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna (aerial).

• After connecting the FM wire antenna (aerial), keep it as horizontal as possible.

• If you have poor FM reception, use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the unit to an outdoor FM antenna (aerial).

• To connect the system to your network, perform [Easy Network Settings]. For details, see “Step 5: Performing the Easy Setup” (page 22).

Select the method based on your LAN (Local Area Network) environment.

• If you use a wireless LAN

The system has built-in Wi-Fi, and you can connect the system to the network by making the network settings.

• If you use other than a wireless LAN

Connect to the network by making a LAN cable connection as follows.

Before performing the network settings

When your wireless LAN router (access point) is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)-compatible, you can easily set the network settings with the WPS button. If not, check the following information in advance, and record it in the space provided below.

• The network name (SSID*) that identifies

your network**.

• If security is set on your wireless network, the security key (WEP key, WPA key)**.

* SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that

identifies a particular wireless network.

** You need to check the settings of your wireless

LAN router to get the information about SSID and security key. For details:

About wireless LAN security

Since communication via the wireless LAN function is established by radio waves, the wireless signal may be susceptible to interception. To protect wireless communication, this system supports various security functions. Be sure to correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your network environment.

x No Security

Although you can easily make settings, anyone can intercept wireless communication or intrude into your wireless network, even without any sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of unauthorized access or interception of data.

x WEP

WEP applies security to communications to prevent outsiders from intercepting communications or intruding into your wireless network. WEP is a legacy security technology that enables older devices which do not support TKIP/AES to be connected.

x WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)

TKIP is a security technology developed in response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP assures a higher security level than WEP.

x WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)

AES is a security technology that uses an advanced security method distinct from WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher security level than WEP or TKIP.

Step 4: Setting up the Wireless System

The unit transmits sound to the surround amplifier that is connected to the surround speakers. To activate wireless transmission, perform the following Steps.

1 Insert the wireless transceiver into the

unit.
