Tip
When the component is equipped with S-video jacks, you can connect the component to the S-VIDEO jacks on
this receiver. In addition, this receiver can convert standard video signals to S-video signals for output from the
MONITOR OUT (S-VIDEO) jacks (models of area code U, CA only).
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
receiver as shown above.

Getting Started
Notes
• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the receiver and other components.
• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna.
• After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as horizontal as possible.
• Do not use the U SIGNAL GND terminal for grounding the receiver.

3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver alows you to use a 6.1 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). (See “Selecting the surround back
decoding mode” on page 39.)
Example of 6.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (R)
Surround speaker (R)
Front speaker (L)
Active sub woofer
Surround speaker (L)
Surround back speaker
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, SURROUND and SURROUND BACK 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.

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.

5: Setting up the speakers
Use the SET UP menu to set the types and sizes
of the speakers connected to the receiver.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
2 Press SET UP.
The SET UP parameter appears in the
display.
3 Press the cursor buttons ( or ) to

• Certain setup parameters may be dimmed in the
display. This means that the selected parameter
is either unavailale or fixed and unchangeable
due to sound field (pages 35–37) or other
settings.
• Some speaker settings may appear dimmed in
the display. This means that they have been
changed automatically due to other speaker
settings. The dimmed settings may or may not
be adjustable.
4 Turn the jog dial to select the
parameter.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set
all of the items that follow.
Speaker setup parameters
The initial setting is underlined.
x FRONT SP (Front speaker size)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
front channel bass frequencies from the sub
woofer. When the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, the center, surround, and surround
back speakers are also automatically set to
“SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).
x CENTER SP (Center speaker size)
• LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
However, if the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker to
“LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
center channel bass frequencies from the front
speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.
• NO (for all sources except MULTI CH 1/2)
If you did not connect a center speaker, select
“NO”. The sound of the center channel will be
output from the front speakers (digital
downmix).
• MIX (for all sources except MULTI CH 1/2)
If you did not connect a center speaker but want
to downmix the center channel audio, select
“MIX” (page 25).
This is only active when the front, surround,
and surround back speakers are set to
“LARGE” (ANALOG DOWNMIX). When all
speakers are not set to “LARGE”, the center
channel will be downmixed digitally (DIGITAL
DOWNMIX).
* When using MULTI CH 1/2 sources, the sound
of the center channel is output from the front
speakers if you select either “NO” or “MIX”.

(continued)
x SURROUND SP (Surround speaker
size)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
However, if the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, you cannot set the surround
speakers to “LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
surround channel bass frequencies from the sub
woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
• NO
If you did not connect surround speakers, select
“NO”. When the surround speakers are set to
“NO”, the surround back speakers are also
automatically set to “NO”.
x SURR BACK SP (Surround back
speaker size)
When the surround speakers are set to “NO”,
the surround back speaker is also automatically
set to “NO” and the setting cannot be changed.
• LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
However, if the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, you cannot set the surround back
speaker to “LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
surround back channel bass frequencies from
the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub
woofer.
• NO
If you did not connect a surround back speaker,
select “NO”.
Tip
The LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker
determine whether or not 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 has a certain amount of
directionality, it 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 equalizer to boost the bass levels. To
adjust the equalizer, see page 45.
x SUB WOOFER (Sub woofer selection)
• YES
If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
• NO
If you did not connect a sub woofer, select
“NO”. This activates the bass redirection
circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other
speakers.
Tip
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the
sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
For advanced speaker setups
Use the CUSTOMIZE menu and set “MENU
EXPAND” to “ON”. This enables advanced
setups including those of the distances to the
speakers and heights of the speakers.
For details on “MENU EXPAND”, see page
46. For details on how to set the items, see page
48.
