If you have nine speakers, you can use the both surround back speakers and presence speakers. In this case, the unit automatically changes the speakers to be used, depending on the input signal and CINEMA DSP.

If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers (*1) or presence speakers (*2).

If you have five speakers, use two of them as surround speakers (*3) or presence speakers (*4).

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.

Speaker requirements

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.

Note

▪Prepare the number of speakers according to your speaker system.

▪Be sure to connect the front left and right speakers.

Setting the speaker impedance

Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”.

1	Before connecting speakers, connect the power cable to an AC
	wall outlet.

How to connect speakers

nConnecting the speaker

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).

19 En

Note

▪Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet before connecting the speakers.

▪Be sure to connect the front left and right speakers.

▪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)

1	Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the ends of
	the speaker cable, and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly
	together.
2	Loosen the speaker terminal.
3	Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper
	right or bottom left) of the terminal.
4	Tighten the terminal.

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.187)

–“Audio Return Channel (ARC)” (p.188)

▪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:
