Precaution for connecting of the speaker cables
Improper connecting of the speaker cables may cause short circuit and also damage the unit or the speakers.
▪ Twist the bare wires of the speaker cables
firmly together.
▪ Do not let the core wires of the speaker cable
touch one another.
▪ Do not let the core wires of the speaker cable
come into contact with the unit’s metal parts (rear panel and screws).
If “Check SP Wires” appear on the front display when the unit is turned on, turn off the unit, and then check the speaker cables short circuit.
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.
Notice
▪ Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer before connecting the speakers.
▪ The speaker has the polarity (+/-). Connect the speaker cable correctly between the positive (+) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and also between the negative (-) terminal of them.

Connect the unit to a router (access point) with a network cable, or prepare the wireless antenna for establishing a wireless network connection.
You can enjoy Internet radio or music files stored on media servers, such as PCs and Network Attached Storage (NAS), on the unit.

Connecting a network cable

Connect the unit to your router with a commercially-available STP network cable (CAT-5 or higher straight cable).
Note
▪ If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to configure any network settings for the
unit, as the network parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically to it. You only need to configure the network settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to configure the network parameters manually (p.
102).
▪ You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in
“Information” (p.102) in the “Setup” menu.
▪ Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router)
may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the security software or firewall settings appropriately.
▪ Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.
▪ To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.

Preparing a wireless antenna

If you connect the unit wirelessly, erect the wireless antenna.
For information on how to connect the unit to a wireless network, see “Connecting to a network wirelessly”
(p.33).
Erect the wireless antenna.
Note
Do not apply excessive force on the wireless antenna. Doing so may damage the antenna.
