Speaker Configuration
The following table indicates the channels you should
use depending on the number of speakers that you
have.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered
subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and
solid bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system,
you need to set the speaker settings automatically
(➔page 23) or manually (➔page 59).
*1 Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used
at the same time.
Using Powered Subwoofers
To find the best position for your subwoofer, while
playing a movie or some music with good bass,
experiment by placing your subwoofer at various
positions within the room, and choose the one that
provides the most satisfying results.
You can connect the powered subwoofer with two
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.
The same signal is output from each jack.
Tip
• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an
external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an
input on the amplifier.
Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels
The speaker terminals are color-coded for
identification purpose.
The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-
coded and you should attach them to the positive (+)
side of each speaker cable in accordance with the
table above. Then all you need to do is to match the
color of each label to the corresponding speaker
terminal.

Connecting the Speaker Cables/Powered Subwoofers
Please connect a, b, c, d, eand ffor 5.1-channel surround.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• By default, speakers for 7.1-channel surround are
configured to use: front right/front left/center/
surround right/surround left/surround back right/
surround back left/subwoofer.
■Screw-type speaker terminals
Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from the
ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires
tightly, as shown.
■Banana Plugs (North American models)
• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker
terminal before inserting the banana plug.
• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the
center hole of the speaker terminal.
■Speaker Connection Precautions
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of
between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of
the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less
than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker
impedance to “4ohms” (➔page 58). If you use
speakers with a lower impedance, and use the
amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of
time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative
wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
Before connecting the power cord, connect all of
your speakers and AV components. A setup wizard
is launched upon first-time use to let you perform
the settings.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have
contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so
may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
Bi-amping the Front Speakers
Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble
performance.
When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to
drive up to a 5.1 speaker system in the main room.
Perform bi-amping connections by using FRONT
terminals and SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH
terminals as shown below.
Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections
and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the
speaker setting to enable bi-amping (➔page 59).
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround and
surround back speakers. Dipole speakers output the
same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on
them to indicate how they should be positioned. The
surround dipole speakers (a) should be positioned so
that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while
the surround back dipole speakers (b) should be
positioned so that their arrows point toward each
other, as shown.
Connecting a Power Amplifier
You can use the AV receiver as a preamp. Connect
all speaker outputs to the power amplifier. See the
manuals supplied with your amplifier for details.
Note
•Specify“None” for the channel that you don’t want to output
(➔page 59).
Important:
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to
remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter
(high) and woofer (low) terminals.
• Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support
bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

• On the TV, when you select anything other than the HDMI
jack to which the AV receiver is connected, the input on the
AV receiver will be switched to “TV/CD”.
• The AV receiver will automatically power on in conjunction
when it determines it to be necessary. Even if the AV
receiver is connected to an pcompatible TV or
player/recorder, it will not power on if it is not necessary. It
may not power on in conjunction when the TV is set to
output audio from the TV.
• Linked functions with the AV receiver may not work
depending on the component model connected. In such
cases, operate the AV receiver directly.
The video and audio signal flow
Connect the AV receiver between the AV
components and the TV. The signal from the AV
components is carried through the AV receiver. You
can enjoy the audio of the TV through the AV
receiver.
Video components can be connected by using any
one of the following video connection formats:
composite video, component video, or HDMI, the
latter offering the best picture quality.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as
shown, with composite video and component video
sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output(s).

The composite video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they
are.
Note
• In order for the AV receiver to upconvert component input
to HDMI output, the source output must be set to 480i/576i.
When signal is input at resolution of 480p/576p and more,
error message will be displayed.
■Signal Selection
If signals are present at more than one input, the
inputs will be selected automatically in the following
order of priority: HDMI, component video, composite
video.
However, for component video only, regardless of
whether a component video signal is actually present,
if a component video input is assigned to the input
selector, that component video input will be selected.
And if no component video input is assigned to the
input selector, this will be interpreted as no
component video signal being present.
In the Signal Selection Example shown below, video
signals are present at both the HDMI and composite
video inputs. However, the HDMI signal is
automatically selected as the source and the video is
output by the HDMI outputs.
• For optimal video performance, THX recommends
that video signals pass through the system without
upconversion (e.g., component video input passing
through to component video output).
• To by-pass the upconversion, set the “Picture
Mode” setting to “Bypass” (➔page 66).
Audio components can be connected by using any of
the following audio connection formats: analog,
optical, coaxial, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind
that the AV receiver does not convert digital input
signals for analog line outputs and vice versa.
If signals are present at more than one input, the
inputs will be selected automatically in the following
order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog.
*1 Depends on the “Audio TV Out (Main)” or “Audio TV
Out (Sub)” setting (➔page 71).
*2 This is possible when “Audio Return Channel” is set to
“Auto” (➔page 71), the TV/CD input selector is
selected, and your TV is ARC capable.
Tip
• When a signal is input via HDMI and the corresponding
input selector is selected, the HDMI indicator lights. In the
case of an optical or coaxial connection, the DIGITAL
indicator lights. In the case of an analog connection, neither
of the HDMI and DIGITAL indicators light.
AV Cables and Jacks
■HDMI
HDMI connections can carry digital video and audio.
