Tips
• When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack.
S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.
• On this receiver, standard video signals can be converted to component video or S-video signals and S-video
signals can be converted to component video signals. These upconverted video signals can only be output from the
MONITOR VIDEO OUT jack. However, you cannot convert the component video signals to standard video or
S-video signals.
• When standard video signals (composite video signals) or S-video signals from a VCR etc. are converted upward
on this receiver and then output to your TV, depending on the status of the video signal output, the image on the
TV screen may appear distorted horizontally or no image may be output.

3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 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).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you
connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two surround back speakers (7.1
channel) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding mode” on page 33).

Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position (see
“When placing only one surround back speaker” illustration on page 20).
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

Tip
To connect certain speakers to another power
amplifier, use the PRE OUT jacks. The same signal is
output from both the SPEAKER jacks and the PRE
OUT jacks (front speakers only).
Speaker impedance
(Front speakers only)
To enjoy the best possible multi channel
surround, connect speakers with a nominal
impedance of 8 ohms or higher to the FRONT,
CENTER, SURROUND and SURROUND
BACK terminals, and set the IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR to “8Ω”. Use the screwdriver to set
the impedance selector to the correct position.
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
nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
Note
Be sure to turn the power off before adjusting the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.

c) 3 STEREO
• The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sou nds have a certain amount of
directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible.
Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can
set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass
frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if
you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have
bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to
“SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set
all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass,
you can use the BASS parameter in the
EQUALIZER menu to boost the bass levels. To
adjust the bass, see page 38.

Tip
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the
center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the
center speaker cannot be set more than 5 feet closer
than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers and the surround back
speakers cannot be set further away from the listening
position than the front speakers. And they can be no
more than 15 feet closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than
the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in
the output of the sound from that speaker. In other
words, the speaker will sound like it is further away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 3–6
feet closer than the actual speaker position will create
a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen.
If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect
because the surround speakers are too close, setting the
surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the
actual distance will create a larger sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound
often results in much better surround sound. Give it a
try!
