Figure 1 – Speaker Placement
The colors shown for each speaker correspond to the matching
output terminal connection on the back of the AVR21EN.
NOTE: If only using 5.1, connect the surround speakers
to the left side surround (S. SURR. LEFT) and right side
surround (S. SURR. RIGHT), regardless of physical position.

Match the colored jacks on the AVR21EN to the appropriate
jacks on your source equipment or speakers. The colors are
standardized, but not all equipment or connectors use them.

Step 2. Connect the speakers to the receiver: red (+) on speaker to colored (+) on receiver and black (–) to black (–).
Step 3. Connect the Subwoofer Pre-Out jack to the Line-In jack on your subwoofer.
You may adjust the settings on the subwoofer later as needed.

Step 4. Connect AM and FM antennas (Fig. 4).
Step 5. Connect source components, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 and
on the Device Connection Options chart on the back of this guide.
AUDIO connections: Right channel (red)on source to right (red)
on AVR, and left channel (white)on source to left (white)on AVR.
DIGITAL AUDIO connections, if available: Choose either coaxial
(orange)to coaxial (orange)OR optical to optical for each device.
Beforeusing any digital audio inputs for source equipment, you need
to go into the AVR on-screen menu (Menu/Main Room Setup/
Sources) and assign a digital audio input to that source (see Step 7).
VIDEO connections: Choose component (Y/Pb/Pr – green/blue/
red), composite (yellow)or S-video (4-pin) for each video source.
Connect the component, composite and S-video monitor outputs to
your video monitor (TV). If you are connecting composite video or
S-video sources and only connecting the component outputs to your
TV, or if using the HDMI output of the AVR21EN, make sure that the
Faroudja®video processor is on (press the FAROUDJA button on
your remote control). Switch your TV set’s input to match the type
of video used for the currently selected source.
Step 6. Plug all components into AC power outlets. The outlets on the back
of the AVR21EN should be used only for low-current products, such
as CD or DVD players, and the total should not exceed 100 watts.
Basic Receiver Configuration
Step 7. Select digital inputs: Go into the AVR on-screen menu (Menu/Main
Room Setup/Sources) and assign an available digital audio coaxial or
optical input to that source.
Step 8. Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the Microphone jack behind the
door on the front panel. Place the microphone in a location near the
center of the room, and then follow the instructions in the Owner’s
Manual and the on-screen menus to run EzSet/EQ. Note that you
will hear a series of test tones. When the on-screen menu indicates
that EzSet/EQ is complete, your system settings for speakers, delay
times, channel output and room equalization are entered into the
unit’smemory. Unplug the microphone and keep it for future use.
Step 9.
Your system is configured – sit back and enjoy.
Figure 4 – Audio Connections
Dashed lines (––––)indicate coaxial and optical
digital audio connections. Choose either type
(but not both) for each digital audio source.
NOTE: You must connect analog audio in addition
to any digital audio connection if you are using the
multiroom distribution network.

†Check with your cable company to determine whether digital audio is available for all channels. It may be necessary to make BOTH analog and digital connections if it is not.
NOTE: If a multiroom network is used, analog audio and composite video must be connected for all sources. In addition to analog audio and composite video, other audio and video inputs can be connected for use in the main room.

Figure 6 – Video Connections
Dotted lines (••••)indicate component, composite
or S-video connections from your video source
equipment to the AVR21EN. Component video is
the preferred connection from your sources when
available, but you may use any of the three types.
The AVR21EN is configured from the factory to
automatically select the highest-quality video
connection for a source if more than one type of
video output is connected from the same source.
For AVR21EN to TV/projector connection, HDMI
(if available on TV/projector) or component video
connection is preferred. If you are connecting
composite video or S-video sources and only
connecting the component outputs to your TV, or
if using the HDMI output of the AVR21EN, make
sure that the Faroudja video processor is on (press
the FAROUDJA button on your remote control).
Switch your TV set’sinput to match the type of
video used for the currently selected source.
NOTE: You must connect composite video in
addition to any other video connection from all
video sources if you are using the multiroom
video distribution network.
