When the component is equipped with S-video jacks, you can connect the component to the S-VIDEO jacks on
this receiver.
Note
You can listen to the sound of your TV by connecting your TV’s audio output jacks to the TV/SAT AUDIO IN
jacks on the receiver. In this case, do not connect the TV’s video output jack to the TV/SAT VIDEO IN jack on
the receiver. If you connect a separate satellite tuner, etc., connect both the audio and video output jacks to the

3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver alows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).
Example of 5.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (R)
Surround speaker (R)
Front speaker (L)
Active sub woofer
Surround speaker (L)
Tip
Since the active sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
Speaker impedance
To enjoy the best possible multi channel surround, connect speakers with a nominal impedance of
8 ohms or higher to the FRONT, CENTER, and SURROUND terminals, and set the IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR to “8Ω”. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your speakers if you are not
sure of their impedance. (This information is often on the back of the speaker.)
Alternatively, you may connect speakers with nominal impedances between 4 and 8 ohms to any or
all of the speaker terminals. However, be sure to set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω” if you
connect even one speaker with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
Note
Be sure to turn the power off before adjusting the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.

* Models of area code U, CA, SP, TW only.
The configuration, shape, and number of AC outlets
vary according to the model and country to which
the receiver is shipped.
Notes
• The AC OUTLET(s) on the rear of the receiver is a
switched outlet, which supplies power to the
connected component only while the receiver is
turned on.
• Make sure that the total power consumption of the
component(s) connected to the receiver’s AC
OUTLET(s) does not exceed the wattage stated on
the rear panel. Do not connect high-wattage
electrical home appliances such as electric irons,
fans, or TVs to this outlet. This may cause a
malfunction.
