1 Connecting speakers

This unit has 7 built-in amplifiers. You can connect 2 to 9 speakers and up to 2 subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to create the favorite acoustic space in your room.

You can also apply bi-amp connections, channel expansion (using an external power amplifier) or multi-zone configurations to enhance your system (p.19).

Caution

• This unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers at the factory. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the speaker impedance of this unit to “6 Ω MIN”. In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers. For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.16).

• We recommend using front presence speakers to have a full effect of the stereoscopic sound fields. However, this unit creates Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center and surround speakers to produce stereoscopic sound fields even when no front presence speakers are connected (p.54).

• Use “Ideal speaker layout” (diagram on the right) as reference. You do not need to exactly adjust the speaker layout to this diagram since the YPAO function of this unit will automatically optimize the speaker settings (distance, etc.) to suit the speaker layout.

• When using only one surround back speaker, place it straight behind the listening position (middle of “SBL” and “SBR” in the diagram).

■ Placing speakers in your room

Depending on the number of speakers, place the speakers and subwoofer (with built-in amplifier) in your room. This section describes the representative speaker layout examples.

❑ 7.1+2 channel system

(using both surround back and front presence speakers)

This speaker system brings out the full performance of this unit and allows you to enjoy a natural stereoscopic sound field with any contents.

• The surround back speakers and front presence speakers do not produce sounds simultaneously. This unit automatically switches the speakers to be used depending on a selected CINEMA DSP (p.52).

❑ 7.1 channel system

(using front presence speakers)

This speaker system uses the front presence speakers to produce a highly-natural stereoscopic sound field, and is suited for enjoying 5.1-channel contents.

❑ 7.1 channel system (using surround back speakers)

This speaker system creates Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center and surround speakers to produce a stereoscopic sound field, and also allows you to enjoy extended surround sounds using the surround back speakers.

About external power amplifiers

We recommend using power amplifiers that meet the following conditions.

- With unbalanced inputs

- With volume control bypass (or without volume control circuit)

- Output power: 100 W (8Ω) or more

• When using an external amplifier that does no have the volume control bypass, turn up the volume of the external amplifier enough and fix it.

About HDMI Control

HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to this unit with an HDMI cable, you can control this unit (power, volume, etc.) in conjunction with TV remote control operations. You can also control playback devices (HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD player, etc.) connected to this unit with an HDMI cable. For details, see “HDMI Control” (p.133).

About Audio Return Channel (ARC)

ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways under HDMI Control. So if you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control and ARC to this unit with a single HDMI cable, you can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to this unit.

■ Connection method 1
