CONNECTIONS

Connecting speakers

This unit uses acoustic field effects and sound decoders to bring you the impact of a real movie theater or concert hall. These effects will be brought to you with ideal speaker positioning and
connections in your listening environment.

Speaker channels and functions

■

Front left and right speakers

The front speakers are used for the front channel sounds (stereo
sound) and effect sounds.

Ex.

Front speaker layout:
Place these speakers at an equal distance from the ideal listening
position in the front of the room. When using a projector screen,
the appropriate top positions of the speakers are about 1/4 of the
screen from the bottom.

■

Center speaker

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals,
etc.).

Ex.

■

Surround left and right speakers

The surround speakers are for effect and vocal sounds with the 5.1­channel speakers providing rear-area sounds. When used with 6.1/

7.1-channel (including surround back channel), sound for right and
left rear-area is output.

Ex.

Surround speaker layout:
Place the speakers at the rear of the room on the left and right sides
facing the listening position. They should be placed between 60
degrees and 80 degrees from the listening position and with the
speaker tops at a height of 1.5 – 1.8 m from the floor.

■

Surround back left and right speakers

Outputs the rear effect. When used with 6.1ch sound, sound from
the left and right sound surround back speakers is mixed and output
from a single speaker. When used with 5.1ch sound, sound from
surround back speakers is distributed between the left and right
surround speakers.
When using the surround back speakers, connect an external
amplifier to the SURROUND BACK jacks of the PRE OUT
terminals.

Surround back speaker setting:
When used with 7.1ch sound, arrange the left and right speakers
towards the listening position, to the rear of the listening position.
Arrange the left and right speakers at least 30 cm apart. The same
separation as with the front left and right speakers is optimum.
When used with 6.1ch sound, arrange these to the rear of the
listening position.

■

Subwoofer

The subwoofer speaker is used for bass sounds and low-frequency
effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital and DTS. Use a
subwoofer that is equipped with built-in amplifier.

Ex.

Subwoofer speaker layout:
Place it exterior to the front left and right speakers facing slightly
inward to reduce echoes from the wall.

Center speaker layout:
Place it halfway between the left and right front speakers. When
using a TV, place the speaker just above or just under the center of
the TV with the front surfaces of the TV and the speaker aligned.
When using a screen, place it just under the center of the screen.

En 10

Connecting speakers and subwoofer

Connect your speakers to their respective terminals on the rear panel.

CAUTION

• Remove the AC power cable of this unit from the power outlet before connecting the speakers.

• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated cables. One of these cables is a different

color, or has a line running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different colored (or lined)

cable into the “+” (positive, red) terminal on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the “-”

(negative, black) terminal.

• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch anything or come into contact with the metal

areas of this unit. This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit,

“CHECK SP WIRES!” will appear on the front panel display when this unit is switched on.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting speakers

■

Connecting the surround back speakers

Connecting an external amplifier to the SURROUND BACK L/R jacks of the PRE OUT terminals
allows you to create the maximum of 7.1-channel surround system with a surround back channel.
For a 6.1-channel system, connect the external amplifier to the SURROUND BACK L jack of the PRE
OUT terminals.
For a 7.1-channel system connect it to the SURROUND BACK L/R jacks.

■ Listening to TV audio

To transmit sound from the TV to this unit, connect as followings according to the TV:

When using a TV that supports the Audio Return Channel function and HDMI
Control function

When your TV supports both HDMI Control (Ex. Panasonic VIERA Link) and Audio Return
Channel functions, audio/video output from the unit to the TV and audio output from the TV to the
unit are possible using a single HDMI cable.
The input source is switched automatically to match operations carried out on the TV, and that
makes TV sound control easier to use.
For the connections and settings, refer to “Single HDMI cable input to TV audio with Audio Return
Channel function” (☞

p. 69).

CONNECTIONS

Connecting external components

When using other TVs

To transmit sound from the TV to this unit, connect its AV1-6 or AUDIO1-2 jacks to the TV’s audio
output jacks.
Depending on the connection on TV, connect the TV’s audio output to the AV1-6 or AUDIO1-2.

TV audio output Connection

Optical digital audio output Connect to the OPTICAL jack of the AV1 or AV4 with a digital audio pin

cable.

Coaxial digital audio output Connect to the COAXIAL jack of the AV2 or AV3 with a fiber-optic cable.

Analog stereo output Connect to one of the AV5, AV6, AUDIO1, AUDIO2, or V-AUX with a

stereo pin cable.

Select the input source connected via TV’s audio output jack to enjoy the TV sound.
If the TV supports optical digital audio output, we recommend that you connect the TV audio output
to the receiver’s AV4 jack.
Connecting to AV4 allows you to switch the input source to AV4 with just a single key operation
using the SCENE function (☞

p. 29).

When using a TV that supports HDMI Control functions (Ex. Panasonic VIERA Link), if HDMI
Control functions are enabled on the unit, then input source can be switched automatically to match
operations carried out on the TV.

You can control your TV using the receiver’s remote control by entering the TV’s remote control
code (☞p. 62).

■ Improving AM reception

Connect this unit to an outdoor antenna with a 5-10 m vinyl-coated wire. Make sure the AM loop
antenna is still connected.
Connecting the GND jack can reduce noise. Connect the jack to a store-bought ground bar or copper

Set up the speaker parameters automatically (YPAO)

This unit is equipped with a YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) that adjusts the status, size, and volume balance of the speakers in order to provide an optimal sound field. Using
YPAO allows you to automatically configure settings for which specialist knowledge is usually needed, such as adjusting speaker output and acoustic parameters to suit your listening room (the room
in which this unit is placed). J1

When you use YPAO, a test tone will be output from the
speakers for approximately 3 minutes and acoustic measuring
will be performed. When using YPAO, be careful of the
following.

• The test tone is output at high volume. Please refrain from using

this function at night when it may be a nuisance to others nearby.

• Please take care that the test tone does not frighten any small

children.

Check the following before using YPAO.
