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 (with built-in amplifier) 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.

Cables required for connection
(commercially available)

Speaker cables (x the number of speakers)

Audio pin cable (x1: When using a subwoofer with built­in amplifier.)

5.1-channel system

■ Connecting speaker cables

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting
the negative (-) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and
the other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are
colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to
the negative and the other wire to the positive terminal.

(Connecting front speakers)

a Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from

the ends of the speaker cable and twist the bare wires of
the cable firmly together.

b Loosen the speaker terminal.

c Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side

(upper right or bottom left) of the terminal.

d Tighten the terminal.

Using a banana plug

(Canada, Australia and General models only)

a Tighten the speaker terminal.

b Insert a banana plug into the end of the terminal.

• You can connect a subwoofer with built-in amplifier. (p.15)

❑ HDMI jacks

Transmit digital video and digital sound through a single
jack. Use an 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.

■ Audio jacks

❑ OPTICAL jacks

Transmit digital audio signals. Use a digital optical
cable. Remove the tip protector (if available) before
using the cable.

❑ COAXIAL jacks

Transmit digital audio signals. Use a digital coaxial
cable.

❑ AUDIO jacks

(Stereo L/R jacks)

Transmit analog stereo audio signals. Use a stereo pin
cable (RCA cable).

HDMI

• 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.59).

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.
