aInstallation

Place the unit on a flat surface, such as the top of a TV stand, and then place the TV on top of the unit. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for example, it may be easier to connect external devices to this unit first. See pages 14 to 16 for information regarding the connection of external devices.

Notes

•Be sure to install this unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.

•Do not raise the antenna until after the TV is placed on top of the unit. The antenna, the unit, the TV, and any other devices in the near vicinity may be damaged if the TV snags the antenna when it is placed on top of the unit. Take all necessary precautions to prevent this from happening as it may lead to unexpected injury.

•The unit’s speakers are not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the unit.

•Do not stack the unit directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.

•Never fix the unit to a wall or other surface using a fall prevention device, such as wire or bracket, supplied with the TV. Doing so may cause the unit fall together with the TV if an accident such as an earthquake occurs. Read the instruction manual of your TV carefully and fix the TV to a wall or sturdy object following the instruction.

Recommended place for installation

Do not install the unit near a corner of the room.

• The listening position (such as sofa, etc.) should be located at the front of the unit.

•The distance between the listening position and the unit should be more than 2 m (6.6 ft).

•TVs that can be placed on the unit are flat-screen TVs that weigh no more than 40 kg (88.1 lbs), have bases no wider

than 750 mm (29-1/2") and no deeper than 340 mm (13-3/8"), and have screens no larger than 55 inches.*1

•Place the TV so that its base does not protrude from the unit’s edges. *2

*1 CRT TVs cannot be placed on the unit.

*2 If the TV base is too large to fit on top of the unit, place the unit in another location such as on an open shelf. In that case, make sure that the shelf is well-ventilated with enough clearance around the unit to prevent the heat from accumulating inside the unit.

To achieve the optimal surround sound effects, be sure that obstacles such as furniture may not obstruct the path of sound beams (p. 13).

Unit installation position and surround sound effects

Raising the antenna

The unit achieves surround sound by reflecting sound beams off walls.

Raise the antenna on the rear panel of the unit when connecting a wireless router (access point) to use a network.

Effective surround effect may not be achieved in the following environment.

•Sound beams are blocked by obstacles such as furniture.

•The room size is not within the following dimensions; Width: 3 meters to 7 meters (9.8 ft to 23 ft)

Depth: 3 meters to 7 meters (9.8 ft to 23 ft) Height: 2 meters to 3.5 meters (6.6 ft to 11.5 ft)

•Listening position is too close to the unit.

•The unit is installed too close to the left or right wall.

•The unit is installed in the corner of the room.

•There is no wall for reflecting sound beam on the path of the sound beams.

•The optimum surround sound effect is achieved by setting a position according to the installation position of

the unit. For details, refer to “Setting a surround sound effect for the installation position” (p. 18).

Hold the base of the antenna while raising it to its upright position.

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

•Be sure to check the direction in which the antenna moves, and angle it in the proper direction.

•Do not remove the antenna.

•For details on the wireless connection, refer to p. 31.

bConnecting 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.

•Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a maximum length of 5 m is recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.

•For playback of 3D and 4K video content, use a high-speed HDMI cable.

TVs that support Audio Return Channel (ARC)

Connect the TV to the unit with an HDMI cable (not supplied).

•This unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection technology. To enjoy playback of 4K video, connect the unit to the HDMI IN jack (one compatible with HDCP 2.2) on an HDCP 2.2-compliant TV.

Audio Return Channel (ARC)

ARC enables input and output of audio signals via a single HDMI cable. If the TV supports ARC, audio signals from the TV can be input to this unit via the same HDMI cable used to output video signals from this unit to the TV.

• Use an ARC-compatible HDMI cable.

Operating the unit by TV’s remote control (HDMI control)

What is the HDMI control function?

HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit (such as power and volume) with TV remote control operations. You can also control playback devices (such as HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD players) connected to the unit with an HDMI cable.

With some TVs, navigating this unit’s menus displayed on the TV can be controlled.

•Even if your TV supports the HDMI control function, some functions may not be available. For details, refer to the manual supplied with your TV.

•We suggest using devices (TV, BD/DVD player, etc.) from the same manufacturer.
