1 Placing speakers

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.

Notice

(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.20).

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

Use speakers with an impedance of at least 6 W.

Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier.

Be sure to connect the front left and right speakers.

Typical speaker layouts

n5.1.2-channel system (using presence speakers)

This speaker system uses the presence speakers to produce a natural 3-dimensional sound field, and also creates Virtual Surround Back Speaker (VSBS) using the surround speakers to add a sense of depth to the rear sound field. This system is suited for enjoying not only 5.1-channel but also for 7.1-channel contents.

Note

“5.1.2-channel” denotes “standard 5.1-channel plus 2 for overhead speaker channels”. For details on how to place overhead speakers (presence speakers), see “Presence speaker layout” (p.19).

To have a full effect of Dolby Atmos contents, we recommend using this speaker system. However, you can also play back Dolby Atmos contents with the 7.1 system (using surround back speakers).

To have a full effect of DTS:X contents, we recommend using this speaker system.

You can connect two subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit. Two subwoofers connected to the unit output the same sounds.

When using only one subwoofer, you can place it either in the left or right side.

Presence speaker layout

The unit provides three layout patterns for presence speakers (Front Height, Overhead and Dolby Enabled SP). Choose a layout pattern that suits your listening environment.

Note

You can enjoy Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or Cinema DSP 3D with any layout pattern.

When using presence speakers installed to the ceiling or when using the Dolby Enabled speakers as the presence speakers, configure the “Layout” setting in the “Setup” menu before performing YPAO (p.33).

nFront Height

Install the presence speakers on the front side wall.

It delivers a natural sound field with excellent linkage of left, right, top and bottom sound spaces, and sound extensity effectively.

nDolby Enabled SP

Use the Dolby Enabled speakers as the presence speakers.

It utilizes sounds reflected from ceiling and lets you enjoy overhead sounds only from speakers that are placed at the same level as traditional speakers.

Note

Place the Dolby Enabled speakers on top of or near the traditional front speakers. A Dolby Enabled speaker unit may be integrated into a traditional speaker. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the Dolby Enabled speakers.

nOverhead

Install the presence speakers to the ceiling above the listening position.

It delivers realistic overhead sound effects and sound field with excellent linkage of front and rear sound spaces effectively.

19 En

nNotes on installation of ceiling speakers

When installing presence speakers to a ceiling, install them just above the listening position, or the ceiling between the extensions of the front speakers and listening position.

the speaker cable, and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly

 

together.

Note

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.122).

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.

nComposite video connection

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

Note

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.

5 Preparing for connecting to a network

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).

The unit (rear)

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.99).

You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in “Information” (p.99) 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.37).

Erect the wireless antenna.

WIRELESS

Note

Do not apply excessive force on the wireless antenna. Doing so may damage the antenna.
