Unpacking The Speakers
• one set of speakers including 2 front speakers, 1
centre speaker, 1 subwoofer and 2 rear speakers.
• 6 speaker wires including:
Inserting Batteries into Remote Control
Insert two AA(R6) batteries according to the + and signs on the battery compartment. To use the remote
control, point it directly at your receiver.
Install batteries as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment door by applying
thumb pressure on battery door and then lift the
door out and off the cabinet.
2. Insert 2 AA batteries in the compartment and
replace the compartment door.
Set up and Maintenance of the Receiver
• Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as
indicated:
• Do not connect to the AC power cords until all
connections are completed.
• Do not use your set immediately after transferring
it from a cold place to a warm place: there is risk of
condensation.
• Do not expose your set to water and excessively
high temperatures.
• After having disconnected your set, clean the case
with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp leather
chamois. Never use strong solvents.
Protect your Components from
Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any component.
Arrange the components so that air can circulate
freely.
• Do not stack components directly on top of each
other.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand
so heated air rising from it will not affect other components. If you have a satellite receiver, you should
place it on the top shelf.

DVD
DIGITAL INPUT
Connect components
capable of outputing DTS
/ Dolby Digital (e.g. DVD
or SAT) or standard PCM
(CD) format digital
signals. Read section on
"Input Signal Setting"
under "Advanced Sound
Control" carefully to
adjust the matching
input settings.
DIGITAL INPUT
DIGITAL CONNECTION
If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you
can make use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable
(not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby
Digital/DTS sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT
receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or coaxial cable is used, the
analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is
desired. This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial digital input for
the connection of your components. Please connect your components (e.g.
DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to
select the corresponding digital input source.
Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A
video connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player.
Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is
important that the same type of cable that is connected from the Home
Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the
Home Theater.

CD Player
If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is
preferred. What you need is just one more optical digital connecting cable
(not supplied). Plug it in the digital input jack of the receiver and select
OPTICAL on the receiver setting (see details on pg 20 chapter "Input Signal
Setting"). You can enjoy better sound quality brought to you by the optical
cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still needed for recording
to tape output.
Note: This receiver has one digital optical jack only. Be sure that such
connection does not prevent optical cable connection of other components
(e.g. DVD & SAT)

Digital In Jacks can accept Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS
or PCM signals when compatible components are connected.
Connecting the Antennas
The AM and FM antennas connect to the AM and FM
terminals on the system’s back panel.
They must be hooked up in order to receive clear
reception.
AM Loop Antenna and FM Indoor Antenna
1. Uncoil the Antenna wire and locate the base end
of the AM antenna and smap into place as shown
below in AM Loop Antenna.
2. Press down on the Antenna tab to open the terminal.
HINT

Connecting the Speakers
Speakers
There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front,
1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good
surround effects, all six speakers need to be
connected to the receiver.
At least two front speakers (left and right) are
required. For better sound quality, Center speaker,
rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be
connected. Adding center and rear speakers will
enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will
increase bass response.
If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with
small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with
the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.
Speaker wires
1 for each speaker, is
needed for connection.
Twist the stripped ends of
speaker cord about 2/3
inch (15 mm). Press down
on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire.
Release tab to lock wire in
the terminal.
To ease speaker connections, the speaker wires and
the terminals are color-coded.
• White/Black (Front Left Speaker),
• Red/Black (Front Right Speaker),
• Green/Black (Center Speaker)
• Blue/Black (Rear Left Speaker).
• Grey/Black (Rear Right Speaker).
• Purple/Black (Subwoofer)
Connect the L, R speakers at the back of the speakers
to the corresponding color on the receiver. Do the
same for center (with green/black terminal), rear
speaker and the subwoofer (with purple/black terminal).
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of
speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the wires
are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack
bass (“out of phase” effect).
Connecting the Subwoofer
Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (purple/ black) provided.
This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a
large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more
information please refer to section “Fine Setting of
the Speakers” in “Advanced Sound Control” on page
21.
