NOTE
▪ “5.1.2-channel” denotes “standard 5.1-channel plus 2 for overhead speaker channels”.
▪ When using surround back speakers, be sure to connect the surround back left and right speakers. Using
only one surround back speaker was discontinued.
▪ You can also connect up to 2 subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit.
Speakers and subwoofers to be connected to the unit must meet the following
requirements:
• Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When
connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”. For
details, see the following:
– “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.19)
• Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier.

Connecting the speaker
n
Connect a speaker cable between the negative (–) terminal of the unit and the
negative (–) terminal of the speaker, and between the positive (+) terminal of the unit
and the positive (+) unit of the speaker.
NOTICE
When connecting the speaker cables, take notice of the following:
▪ Prepare speaker cables in a place away from the unit, to avoid accidentally dropping wire strands into
the unit's interior which could result in a short circuit or malfunction of the unit.
▪ Improper connecting of the speaker cables may cause a short circuit and also damage the unit or the
speakers.
– Twist the bare wires of the speaker cables firmly together.
– Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable touch one another.
– Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable come into contact with the unit’s metal parts (rear panel
and screws).
Cable requirements
Use the following types of commercially-available cables to connect speakers to the
unit:
Speaker cables (the number of speakers
required)

HDMI connection with a TV
Connect a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable. If you connect a TV that supports ARC to
the unit, you can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.
About Audio Return Channel (ARC)
▪ ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways with a single HDMI cable. To use ARC, connect to the TV
using an HDMI cable that supports ARC.
NOTE
▪ If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit’s
power and volume with the TV’s remote control.
▪ To use HDMI Control and ARC, you need to configure the HDMI settings on the unit. For details on the
settings, see the following:
– “HDMI Control and synchronized operations” (p.191)
– “Audio Return Channel (ARC)” (p.192)
▪ If your TV does not support Audio Return Channel (ARC), a digital optical cable connection between the
TV and the unit is needed.
HDMI connection with another TV or a projector
The unit has two HDMI output jacks. If you connect another TV or a projector to the unit
with an HDMI cable, you can switch the TV (or projector) to be used for watching
videos with the remote control. For details, see the following:
• “Selecting an HDMI output jack” (p.62)
NOTE
HDMI Control is not available on the HDMI OUT 2 jack.
