■ Banana Plugs (North American models)

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification purpose.

Speaker Color

Front left, Front high left White Front right, Front high right Red Center Green Surround left Blue Surround right Gray Surround back left Brown Surround back right Tan

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Using Powered Subwoofers

LINE INPUT

Powered subwoofer

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.

The same signal is output from each jack.

Tip

• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Connecting RI Components

Make sure that each u-capable component is

connected with an analog audio cable (connection in the hookup examples) (➔ page 15).

Make the u connection (see the illustration).

If you’re using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck,

change the Input Display (➔ page 41).

With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

■ System On/Auto Power On

When you start playback on a component connected via u, while the AV receiver is on standby, the AV

receiver will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source.

■ Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via u, the AV receiver automatically selects that

component as the input source.

■ Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other u-capable components, pointing the

remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (➔ page 71).

e.g., cassette tape deck

RI Dock

Note

•Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied with u-capable components.

• Some components have two u jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting

additional u-capable components.

• Connect only u-capable components to u jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

• Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your u-capable components.

• While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct Change u functions do not work.

Using Basic Functions

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Audyssey Dynamic Volume

(➔ pages 53, 54). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the

“Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration”.

•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one

position to perform the speaker setting only.

•“Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the

measurement from three positions to correct room

response in addition to the speaker setting. The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using

a measurement from three positions to create the best listening environment.

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 10 minutes. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Measurement procedure

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

a First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

b Second measurement position

The right side of the listening area.

c Third measurement position

The left side of the listening area.

The distances from position a to b and a to c must be at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.).

abc

: Listening area

ato c: Listening position

Note

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place it away from all audio electronics.

• The microphone picks up test tones played through each speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup runs.

• Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

HDMI Input

If you connect a video component to an HDMI input, you must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to HDMI IN 2, you must assign “HDMI2” to the “BD/DVD” input selector. If you’ve connected your TV to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable, composite video and component video sources can be upconverted output. You can set this for each input selector by selecting the “-----” option, but the video signal coming from the HDMI output depends on the assignments of “Component Video Input” and “Composite Video Input”. See “Video Connection Formats” for more information on video signal flow and upconversion (➔ page 84).

becomes active.

The Dynamic EQ indicator will light. With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating

sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level — not just at reference level.

■ Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

` 0dB:

This should be selected for movie contents.

` 5dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide

dynamic range, such as classical music.

` 10dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a

wider dynamic range. This setting should also be

selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at

10 dB below film reference.

` 15dB:

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other

program material that is mixed at very high listening

levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that –30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated

by Audyssey 2EQ

will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works well by itself. However, if Audyssey 2EQ is on, the two technologies work in tandem to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

12V Trigger A/B/C Setup

Depending on their type, when some components are turned by using triggers A, B, and C, a large amount of current may be drawn at once. To prevent this, you can delay each trigger signal individually. Another application of trigger delay is to eliminate the “thump” noise that’s sometimes heard when a source component is turned on. You can accomplish this by delaying the trigger signal for your power amplifier, so that it’s the last component to be turned on.

Network

After modifying the network settings, you must confirm the changes by executing “Save”.

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s network settings manually. If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What’s DHCP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as tascam.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case 72.3.225.152.

■ MAC Address

This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed.

■ The Late Night function doesn’t work

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.

Make sure that the “TrueHD Loudness Management” setting is not set to “Off”. The Late Night function doesn’t work when this setting is disabled.

■ About DTS signals

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the dts indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, you may not hear any sound because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately. In such case, you should stop your player for about three seconds and then resume playback.

With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

Playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface) with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-toDVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.) The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM.

, so TVs and displays

Supported Audio Formats About Copyright Protection

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection)

, a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and digital displays.

Note

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual

Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.

• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be

restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

Network/USB Features

Connecting to the Network

The following diagram shows how you can connect the AV receiver to your home network. In this example, it’s connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in.

Internet radio

Modem

WAN

LAN

Router

Network Requirements

■ Ethernet Network

For the best results, a 100Base-TX switched Ethernet network is recommended. Although it’s possible to play music on a computer that’s connected to the network wirelessly, playback may be unreliable, so it is recommended to use wired connections.

■ Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, data-routing and supplying of IP addresses. Your router must support the following:

• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows several networked computers to access the Internet simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The AV receiver needs Internet access for Internet radio.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP supplies IP addresses to the network devices, allowing them to configure themselves automatically.

• A router with a built-in 100Base-TX switch is recommended.

Some routers have a built-in modem, and some Internet Service Providers (ISP) require you to use specific routers. Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

■ CAT5 Ethernet cable

Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to connect the AV receiver to your home network.

Note

• To receive Internet radio with the AV receiver, your broadband Internet connection must be working and able to access the Web. Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet connection.

• The AV receiver uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure these settings manually, see “Network” (➔ page 62).

• The AV receiver does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoEcompatible router.

• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured to use a proxy server, use the same settings for the AV receiver (➔ page 62).

Computer or media server

■ Internet Access (for Internet radio)

To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is strongly recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
