Notes on connecting cables

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) before connecting cables. It is not necessary to connect all of the cables. Connect cables according to the availability of jacks on the connected device. Use a High Speed HDMI cable. 1080p, Deep Color (Deep Colour), 4K or 3D images may not be displayed properly if you use a Standard HDMI cable. We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect separate audio cables or digital connecting cables, then reassign the input jacks if the sound is not output correctly. When connecting optical digital cables, insert the plugs straight until they click into place. Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.

Hint

All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.

Tips for automatic calibration (Auto Calibration)

1. About Auto Calibration

Auto Calibration allows you to perform automatic calibration as follows.

Check the connection between each speaker and the receiver. Adjust the speaker level. Measure the distance of each speaker from your seating position. (*) Measure the speaker size. (*) Measure the frequency characteristics (EQ). (*) Measure the frequency characteristics (Phase). (*)(**)

The measurement result is not utilized when [Analog Direct] is selected.

Page 64

The measurement result may be not utilized, depending on the audio formats.

Note

The D.C.A.C. is designed to achieve proper sound balance for your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels manually according to your preference using [Test Tone].
