Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 2/3
inch (10 mm). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the
appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and –
to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack bass.
• If you use speakers with low maximum input rating,
adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output
on the speakers.
12
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver.
To prevent this, make sure to take the following
precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord
does not touch another speaker terminal or the
stripped end of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
After connecting all the components, speakers,
and AC power cord, output a test tone to check
that all the speakers are connected correctly. For
details on outputting a test tone, see page 18.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a
test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than
the one whose name is currently displayed on the
receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.
To avoid damaging your speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume before you
turn off the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the
volume remains at the level you turn off the receiver.
Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive
removal of insulation.
13
Performing Initial Setup Operations
Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the
power, clear the receiver’s memory. Then specify the
speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any
other initial setup operations necessary for your system.
Clearing the receiver’s memory
Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System
Before you use your receiver for the first time or when
you want to clear the receiver’s memory, do the following.
This procedure is not necessary if the demonstration
activates when you turn the power on.

About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)
Internally, 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” speaker.
However, since bass sounds have 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 BASS +/–
to boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass, see page 32.
x Surround speaker position (SL SR)*
Initial setting : PL. BEHD.
This parameter lets you specify the location of your

• Select “PL. SIDE” if the location of your surround
speakers corresponds to section A.
• Select “PL. BEHD.” if the location of your surround

speakers corresponds to section B.
This setting only effects the surround modes in the
“VIRTUAL” sound fields.
