Note on video component hookups

You can connect your TV’s audio output jacks to the VIDEO 2 AUDIO IN jacks on the receiver and apply sound effects to the audio from the TV. In this case, do not connect the TV’s video output jack to the VIDEO 2 VIDEO IN jack on the receiver. If you are connecting a separate satellite tuner, connect both the audio and video output jacks to the receiver as shown above.

If you have a DVD player, TV or satellite tuner with COMPONENT VIDEO (Y, B-Y, R-Y) output jacks and a monitor with COMPONENT VIDEO input jacks, use a component video cord (not supplied) to connect to the receiver.

Tip

When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack. S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.

Note

On this receiver, the component video signals are not compatible with S-video signals or video signals.

9US

Digital component hookups

Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver’s digital input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required.

Notes

You cannot make digital recordings when the source is a multi channel digital source.

All the OPTICAL and COAXIAL jacks are compatible with 96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 32 kHz sampling frequencies.

It is not possible to record analog signals to the components connected to MD/TAPE and VIDEO jacks with only digital 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 disc on the Super Audio CD player connected to the CD/SACD OPTICAL IN jack on this unit. Connect to the analog input jacks (CD/SACD IN jacks). Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Super Audio CD player.

11US

Multi channel input hookups

Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi channel decoder. Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder.

To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi channel hookups.

Notes

When using the connections described below, adjust the level of the surround speakers and sub woofer from the DVD player or multi channel decoder.

See page 14 for details on speaker system hookup.

Tip

To prevent speaker vibration or movement while listening, attach the supplied foot pads at the bottom of the speakers.

Notes

Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals.

Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 2/3 inch. 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.

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, the stripped end of another speaker cord, or the metal parts of the receiver.

a test tone to check that all the

 

speakers are connected correctly.

 

For details on outputting a test tone,

 

see page 20.

 

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.

Turn off the receiver.

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.

Tip

To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection (page 21).

Clearing the receiver’s memory

Before using your receiver for the first time, or when you want to clear the receiver’s memory, do the following.

The master volume is set to “VOL MIN”.

Performing initial setup operations

Before using your receiver for the first time, adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 49. See pages 16–20 for speaker settings and page 35 for other settings.

Multi channel surround

setup

For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A).

However, the receiver lets you place the center speaker up to 5 feet closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) to the listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 23 feet from the listening position (A).

You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.). However, we recommend that you place the surround speakers behind you.
