1: Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel
system (7 speakers and one sub woofer).
Enjoying a 5.1/7.1 channel
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 system).
Example of a 5.1 channel
speaker system configuration
Getting Started
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of
DVD software recorded sound in the Surround
EX format if you connect one additional
surround back speaker (6.1 channel system) or
two surround back speakers (7.1 channel
system.) See “Using the surround back
decoding mode” (page 65).

want.

When you connect a sub woofer with an auto
standby function, turn off the function when
watching movies. If the auto standby
function is set to on, it turns to standby mode
automatically based on the level of the input
signal to a sub woofer, then sound may not
be output.
Notes
• When you connect all the speakers with a nominal
impedance of 8 ohms or higher, set “Impedance” in
the Speaker settings menu to “8 Ω.” In other
connections, set it to “4 Ω.” For details, see “8:
Setting the speakers” (page 41).
• Before connecting the AC power cord (mains
lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker
cords are not touching each other between the
SPEAKERS terminals.
Tip
To connect certain speakers to another power
amplifier, use the PRE OUT jacks. The same signal
is output from both the SPEAKERS terminals and
the PRE OUT jacks. For example, if you want to
connect just the front speakers to another amplifier,
connect that amplifier to the PRE OUT FRONT L
and R jacks.
ZONE 2 connection
You can assign the SUR BACK SPEAKERS
terminals F and G to the speakers of the
zone 2. Set “Sur Back Assign” to “ZONE 2” in
the Speaker settings menu.

• Connect image display components such as a TV
monitor or a projector to the MONITOR VIDEO
OUT jack on the receiver. You may not be able to
record, even if you connect recording components.
• Turn on the receiver when the video and audio of a
playback component are being output to a TV via
the receiver. If the power supply of the receiver is
not turned on, neither video nor audio is
transmitted.
• Depending on the status of the connection between
the TV and the antenna (aerial), the image on the
TV screen may be distorted. In this case, place the
antenna (aerial) farther away from the receiver.
Tips
• The receiver has a video conversion function. For
details, see “Notes on converting video signals”
(page 33).
• The sound of the TV is output from the speakers
connected to the receiver if you connect the sound
output jack of the TV and the TV IN jacks of the
receiver. In this configuration, set the sound output
jack of the TV to “Fixed” if it can be switched
between either “Fixed” or “Variable.”
• The screen saver is activated when the GUI menu
is displayed on the TV screen and there has been no

image of 1080p or higher.
• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable. When you connect an
HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D
component, the sound and/or the image may
not be output. Connect other audio cords or
digital connecting cords, then set “Input
Assign” in the Input Option menu when the
