• Explanation of Graphical Symbols

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to
the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.

■ Notes on remote controls and batteries

• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following conditions:
– places of high humidity, such as near a bath
– places of high temperatures, such as near a heater or stove
– places of extremely low temperatures
– dusty places

• Insert the battery according to the polarity markings (+ and -).

• If the batteries grow old, the effective operation range of the remote control decreases considerably.
If this happens, replace the batteries with two new ones as soon as possible.

• If the batteries run out, immediately remove them from the remote control to prevent an explosion or
acid leak.

• If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately, taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the
leaked material comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse it away immediately and
consult a doctor. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones. This may shorten the life of the new batteries or
cause old batteries to leak.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Danger of explosion may
happen if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Specification of batteries may be different even though they look the
same.

• Before inserting new batteries, wipe the compartment clean.

• Keep batteries away from children. If a battery is accidentally swallowed, contact your doctor
immediately.

• When not planning to use the remote control for long periods of time, remove the batteries from the
remote control.

• Do not charge or disassemble the supplied batteries.

located at the front of the unit.

• The distance between the listening position and the

unit should be more than 1.8 m.

• Set the listening position as far from the back wall as

possible (the optimal listening position is halfway
between the unit and the back wall, or slightly closer
to the back wall).

• To achieve desired surround sound effects, be
sure that obstacles such as furniture may not
obstruct the path of sound beams (p. 8).

• Be sure that the unit installed with at least 5 cm

a Installation

This unit reflects sound beams off of walls and a ceiling to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to the listening position, walls, and a ceiling is important
to achieving the desired surround sound effects. Refer to pages 7 to 9 when installing 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. This will depend upon the installation location. See page 10 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.

• There is a built-in antenna on the top of the unit. Do not install it on a metal rack, and do not stack metal items on top of the unit.

• 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.

Example for installing the unit

This unit outputs sound beam as shown in the illustrations below. Install this unit where there are no obstacles such as furniture obstructing the path of sound beams. Otherwise, the
desired surround sound effects may not be achieved.

If the unit is installed so that it is parallel to a wall, install it as close to the exact center of the wall as possible.

If the unit is installed in a corner of a room, position it at a 40–50° angle to the adjacent walls.

Unrecommended listening environments

This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected sound beams off the walls and
the ceiling of your listening room. The surround sound effects produced by this unit
may not be sufficient when this unit is installed in the following locations.

• Rooms with walls inadequate for reflecting sound beams

• Rooms with acoustically absorbent walls and ceiling

• Rooms with measurements outside the following range:
W (3 to 7 m) × H (2 to 3.5 m) × D (3 to 7 m)

• Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to obstruct the path of sound beams

• Rooms with less than 1.8 m from the listening position to this unit

• Rooms where the listening position is close to the walls

• Rooms where the listening position is not in front of this unit

• Rooms with a complex shape, such as a slanted ceiling (ceiling lights do not obstruct
sound beams)

Enjoying surround effects regardless of conditions (My
Surround)

The My Surround function creates rich surround sound effects in rooms with less than
optimal surround sound conditions. See “Channel Out” (page 72 in the Owner’s
Manual) for more information.

• This unit’s AUTO SETUP (IntelliBeam) can be used to automatically adjust sound beams to achieve the
optimal surround playback environment according to the listening room setup (p. 14).

Installing the stands

Install the stands (supplied) on the bottom of the unit. Align and insert the protrusion on
the stands into the holes on the rear panel of the unit as shown in the illustration, and
then tighten the screws (supplied) to lock the stands in place. The stands need not be
installed when the unit is mounted on a wall using the optional Wall Mount Bracket
SPM-K30.

HDMI cable (optional)

Digital video from the BD/DVD player is displayed on the
TV.

• Connect the unit to the HDMI IN jack (one compatible with HDCP 2.2) on
an HDCP 2.2-compliant TV to enjoy playback of 4K video.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) supported TV

• Connect an HDMI cable to the audio return channel supported jack (the jack with
“ARC” indicated) on TV.

• Enable the HDMI control function of this unit to activate the Audio Return
Channel (ARC). See page 76 in the Owner’s Manual.

What is Audio Return Channel (ARC)?

• In order for the unit to play audio from a TV, the TV must usually be connected to
the unit via an audio cable as well as an HDMI cable. If, however, the TV
supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), TV audio signals can be input to the unit
via the HDMI cable that outputs video signals from the unit to the TV.

For a wired network connection, connect one end of the network
cable to the NETWORK jack on the rear panel of the unit and the
other end to a router. For details, see page 51 in the Owner’s
Manual.

optimal viewing and listening environment.

• The AUTO SETUP procedure may not be run successfully if this unit is installed in one of the rooms
described in “Unrecommended listening environments” (p. 9).
The My Surround function can be used to enjoy rich surround sound in these types of rooms as well. See
“Channel Out” (page 72 in the Owner’s Manual) for more information.

• Do not connect the IntelliBeam microphone to an extension cable as doing so may result in an inaccurate
sound optimization.

Installing the IntelliBeam microphone

Place the IntelliBeam microphone at your normal listening position.

❑ Assembling the supplied cardboard microphone stand

• Use the supplied cardboard microphone stand or a tripod to place the IntelliBeam
microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated.

• Position the IntelliBeam microphone so that it is parallel with the floor.
