Function for conversion of video signals
This receiver is equipped with a function for converting video signals.
•Composite video signals can be output as HDMI video and component video signals.
•Component video signals can be output as HDMI video and video signals.
As the factory default setting, video signals input from the connected equipment are output to the HDMI OUT or MONITOR OUT jacks as shown in the table below.
We recommend you set the video conversion function to match the resolution of the monitor you are using.
For details on the video converting function, see “Video Settings” (page 101).

Note on converting video signals
Video signals for which the resolution has been converted may not be output from the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks or the HDMI OUT jacks simultaneously. If you connect equipment to both the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks and the HDMI OUT jacks, priority is given to the output from the HDMI OUT jacks.
To connect a recording equipment
When recording, connect the recording equipment to the VIDEO OUT jacks of the receiver. Connect cords for input and output signals to the same type of jack, as VIDEO OUT jacks do not have an up-conversion function.
The HDMI OUT and the MONITOR OUT jacks cannot be used for recording.
To display Closed Caption
Set “Resolution” to “Direct” in the Video Settings menu when receiving a signal that supports Closed Captions.
Use the same kind of cords for the input/output signals.

Tip
Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional
signals, you can place it wherever you want.
• If you cannot place the speakers at the optimum angle, separate the surround speakers and the surround back speakers adequately and arrange them as symmetrically as possible.
• You can calibrate speaker positioning using “Speaker Relocation” even if you cannot place the speakers at the optimum angle (page 95). Arrange each pair of the surround speakers and the surround back speakers spread further back than 90 degrees to operate “Speaker Relocation” effectively.
• Install the front high speakers at a position as near as possible to the wall in front of the seating position and behind the speakers. The position should be at an angle of 25 to 30 degrees and at a height of 180 to 200 cm (190 cm is recommended). When you use a screen, arrange them slightly to the side of each end of the screen.

2)If you connect only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK (ZONE 2) L terminals.
3)If you use front high speakers, connect them to the FRONT B/FRONT HIGH terminals.
4)You can connect both the surround back speakers and the front high speakers. However, sound cannot be output from the surround back speakers and the front high speakers simultaneously.

You can set whether or not to output sound from the front high speakers using “Sound Field Mode” (page 68). However, “Sound Field Mode” may not work, depending on the sound field setting or input signals.
5)When you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching movies. If the auto standby function of the subwoofer is set to on, it goes into standby automatically based on the level of the input signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output.
You can connect two subwoofers to the receiver. The same signals are output from each of the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jacks.
Tip
You can loosen or tighten the SPEAKERS terminal easily using the supplied speaker cord connection tool.

To enable 9.1 channel playback
The receiver can only output up to 7 channels simultaneously using the speaker terminals. You can output up to 9 channels simultaneously by connecting the PRE OUT SUR BACK jacks or the PRE OUT FRONT HIGH jacks to a power amplifier.
Set “Speaker Connection” in the Speaker
Settings menu (page 96) according to the
speaker system you are using. GettingStarted

Tip
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
Only if you do not use surround back speakers and front high speakers, you can assign the SURROUND BACK (ZONE 2) terminals F and Gto the speakers of the zone 2. Set the SURROUND BACK (ZONE 2) terminals to “Zone 2 Speaker” in “Speaker Connection” in the Speaker Settings menu (page 96).
See “Using Multi-zone Features” (page 71) for details on connection and operation in zone 2.
