Select the speaker layout for the number of speakers that you are using and place the speakers and subwoofer in your room. This section describes the representative speaker layout examples.

Caution

(U.S.A. and Canada models only)

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 “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.14).

(Except for U.S.A. and Canada models)

Use speakers with an impedance of at least 6 Ω.

Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier.

Be sure to connect the front left and right speakers.

2 Connecting speakers

Connect the speakers placed in your room to the unit. The following diagrams provide connections for a 5.1-channel system as an example. For other systems, connect speakers while referring to the connection diagram for the 5.1-channel system.

Caution

Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer before connecting the speakers.

Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with the unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “Check SP Wires” will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.

HDMI cable

Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo. We recommend using a cable less than 5.0 m (16.4 ft) long to prevent signal quality degradation.

The unit’s HDMI jacks support the HDMI Control, Audio Return Channel (ARC), and 3D and 4K Ultra HD video transmission (through output) features.

Use high speed HDMI cables to enjoy 3D or 4K Ultra HD videos.

3 Connecting a TV

Connect a TV to the unit so that video input to the unit can be output to the TV. You can also enjoy playback of TV audio on the unit.

To maximize the performance of the unit, we recommend connecting a TV with an HDMI cable.

(digital optical)

You do not make a digital optical cable connection between the TV and the unit in the following cases:

If your TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)

If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box

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 “Information on HDMI” (p.70).

About Audio Return Channel (ARC)

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

When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

Composite video connection

When connecting any video device with a video pin cable, connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO) jack.

If you connect your TV to the unit with a cable other than HDMI, video input to the unit via HDMI cannot be output to the TV.

Operations with TV screen are available only when your TV is connected to the unit via HDMI.

If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box, you do not need to make an audio cable connection between the TV and the unit.
