If you want to connect several digital components, but cannot find an
unused input
See “Assigning the audio input” (page 33).
Tip
All the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.
Notes
• You cannot make digital recordings of digital multi channel surround signals.
• It is not possible to record analog signals to components connected to the MD/TAPE OUT, VIDEO 1 OUT or
VIDEO 2 OUT jacks if you make only digital connections. Likewise, you cannot record digital signals if you make
only analog connections. To record analog signals, make analog connections. To record digital signals, make
digital connections.
• The sound is not output when you play a Super Audio CD on the Super Audio CD player connected to the
SA-CD/CD OPTICAL IN or SA-CD/CD COAXIAL IN jack on this receiver. Connect to the analog input jacks
(SA-CD/CD IN jacks). Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Super Audio CD player.

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 31).
Example of 7.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (Right)
Surround speaker (Right)
Front speaker (Left)

Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker right behind the listening position
(see “When placing only one surround back speaker” illustration on page 18).
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

5: Setting up the speakers
You can use the SET UP menu to set the size,
distance and location of the speakers connected
to this receiver.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
2 Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select
“SET UP”.
3 Press or repeatedly to select the
parameter you want to adjust.
For details, see “Speaker setup parameters”
below.
Note
Some speaker setup items may appear dimmed in
the display. This means that they have been
adjusted automatically due to other speaker
settings or may not be adjustable.
4 Turn –/+ to select the setting you want.
The setting is entered automatically.
Note
Press ENTER if you select the setting for “SP.
PATTERN X–X”.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set
all of the items that follow.
Speaker setup parameters
The initial settings are underlined.
x EASY SET UP XXX (Speaker easy setup)
•YES
If you want to set up your speakers
automatically, select “YES”. You can select a
pre-defined speaker pattern (see the supplied
“Easy Setup Guide”).
•NO
If you want to adjust the settings of each
speaker manually, select “NO”.
x SP. PATTERN X–X
(Speaker setup pattern)
When you select “EASY SET UP YES”, select
the speaker setup pattern. Turn –/+ to select the
speaker setup pattern and press ENTER to enter
the selection. Check your speaker pattern using
the supplied “Easy Setup Guide”.
x SUB WOOFER XXX
(Sub woofer selection)
•YES
If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.

other speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend that you set the cut off frequency
on the sub woofer as high as possible.
•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

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

• 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 sound s 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 i s not enough bass,
you can use the BASS parameter in the
EQUALIZER menu to boost the bass levels. To
adjust the bass, see page 36.
