Putting batteries in the remote control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
1 Press and slide the battery cover on the back
of the remote control.
2 Insert batteries.
Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3 Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,
replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell
batteries.
•Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued
use.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
•Always replace both batteries at the same time.
•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the front panel.
Setting the voltage selector
Before connections, always do the following first if necessary.
Select the correct voltage in VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear
of the receiver by using a screw driver.
•Check to be sure if the voltage mark is set to the voltage for
your area where this unit plugs in.
Getting started
Before Installation
General precautions
•Be sure your hands are dry.
•Turn the power off to all components.
•Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going
to connect.
Locations
•Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from
moisture and dust.
•The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C
and 35˚C.
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
•Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.
Handling the receiver
•Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
•Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
•Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
•Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage
the cord.
•When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended
period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small
amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is
connected to the wall outlet.
The receiver has a built-in cooling fan which operates
while the receiver is turned on. Be sure to leave enough
ventilation to obtain sufficient cooling effect.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Checking the supplied accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied
accessories. If anything is missing, contact your dealer
immediately.
•Remote control (×1)
•Batteries (×2)
•AM loop antenna (×1)
•FM antenna (×1)
•AC plug adaptor (×1)

base to assemble the
AM loop antenna.
Connecting the FM and AM antennas
Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.
AM loop antenna
(supplied)
If AM reception is poor, connect
an outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire (not supplied).
AM antenna connection
Connect the AM loop antenna supplied to the AM LOOP terminals.
Connect the white cord to the AM EXT terminal, and connect the
black cord to the Hterminal.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
•If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM loop
antenna connected.
FM antenna connection
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 ΩCOAXIAL
terminal as a temporary measure.
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ωcoaxial cable with a
connector (IEC or DIN 45325), disconnect the supplied FM
antenna.
FM antenna (supplied)
NOTES
•If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl,
remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown on the
right.
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch
any other terminals, connecting cords and power
cord. This could cause poor reception.
If FM reception is poor, connect an
outdoor FM antenna (not supplied).

Speaker Layout Diagram
*When using a single speaker for the surround back speaker
You can enjoy the surround sound by one surround back
speaker. When using one surround back speaker,
– set “SB OUT” to “<1SPK>” (see page 17) and
– connect the surround back speaker to the left surround back
speaker terminal. (No sound comes from the speaker if
you connect it to the right surround back speaker
terminal.)
Connecting the powered subwoofer
By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or
reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in digital software.
Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cord
with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.
After connecting all the speakers and/or a subwoofer, set the
speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible
surround effect. For details, see pages 15 to 19.
NOTE
You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is
non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

This receiver is equipped with the following video terminals—
composite video, S-video, and component video terminals.
• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, PB, PR) jacks, connect them using an S-
video cable (not supplied) or component video cable (not
supplied). By using these terminals, you can get a better picture
quality in the order:
Component > S-video > Composite
IMPORTANT:
The video signals from one type of these input jacks are
transmitted only through the video output jacks of the same
type. Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing
video component are connected to the receiver through the video
terminals of different type, you cannot record the picture. In
addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected
to the receiver through the video terminals of different type, you
cannot view the playback picture on the TV.
Turn off all components before making connections.
•When you connect other components, refer also to their
manuals.
DO NOT use a TV through a VCR or a TV with a built-in
VCR; otherwise, the picture may be distorted.
CAUTION:
If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic
equalizer between the source components and this receiver, the
sound output through this receiver may be distorted.
If your video components have AV COMPU LINK terminal
See also page 32 for detailed information about the connection
and the AV COMPU LINK remote control system.
Connecting video components
Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.
