■ 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.
