Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections
Getting Started havebeenmade.
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receivec and how to connect the
power supply.
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 fi'om
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.
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.
Check to be sure you have all of the tk)llowing items, which are
supplied with the receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces
supplied.
. Remote Control (1)
.Batteries (2)
. AM Loop Antenna (1)
. FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
Notes:
•Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued
use.
After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers' codes again
(see pages 31 and 32).
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.

(supplied) CAUTIONS:
2
Snap the tabs on the loop into
the slots of the base to
assemble the AM loop
antenna.
Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)
• Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE
indicated by the speaker terminals.
• Do not connect more than one speaker to each speaker
terminal.
1Twist and remove the insulation at the end of
each speaker cord.
2 Press and hold the clamp of the speaker terminal.
3 Insert the speaker cord.
4Release the finger from the clamp.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
Notes:
*If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, =A J
remove the vinyl by twisting it as illustrated. ,_
*Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.
*If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire
(not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna
connected.)
For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and
(-) terminals on the lear panel to the (+) and (-) terminals
marked on the speakers.

Connecting the subwoofer
You can enhance the bass by connecting asubwoofer.
Connect the input jack of a powered subwooter to the rear panel,
using a cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Powered subwoofer
Placing speakers
Front speakers (L/R) and center speaker (C)
•Place these speakers at the same height from the floor, at or near
ear level.
• Array across the front of the viewing area.
Surround speakers (LS/RS)
•Place these speakers alongside and slightly to the rear of (but not
behind) the listening position; well above ear level (60 cm to 90
cm higher).
•Point these speakers directly across the listening area, but not at
the listener's ears.
Subwoofer (S.WFR)
•You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is non-
directional. Normally place it in fl'ont of you.

When connecting individual components, refer also to the manuals
supplied with them.
mAnMog Connections
Audio component connections
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
• Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, and the red plug to
the audio right jack.
If your audio components have a COMPU LINK jack
See also page 28 for detailed inforlnation about the connection
and the COMPU LINK remote control system.
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.

Digital Connections
By connecting the receiver and the source component through the
digital terminals, sound reproduction quality will be much improved.
In addition, you can enjoy multi-channel reproduction and some
other convenient functions.
iMPORTANT:
• When connecting a video component using the digital
terminals, you also need to connect it to the video jacks on
the rear. Without connecting it to the video jacks, you can
view no playback picture.
• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN
terminals, set the following correctly if necessary.
- Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly.
For details, see "Setting the Digital Input Terminals" on
page 20.
- Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see
"Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode" on page 11.
Notes:
• Whenshipped from the factory,the DIGITALIN terminals have
been set for use with the following components:
-DIGITAL 1(coaxial): For DVDplayer
-DIGITAL2 (optical): For CDplayer
• Whenyou want to operate the CDplayer or CD recorder using the
COMPU LINK remote control system (seepage 28), connect it also
asdescribed in "Audio component connections"of "Analog
Connections" (see page 6).
Betbre plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have been made.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Basic Operations
When playing software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, the
following symptoms may occur:
•Sound does not come out at the beginning of playback.
•Noise comes out while searching for or skipping chapters or
tracks.
In this case, press INPUT DIGITAL repeatedly to select
"DOLBY DIGITAL" or "DTS SURROUND?'
• Each time you press INPUT DIGITAL, the input mode changes as
follows:
When the input level of the analog source is too high, the sounds
will be distorted. If this happens, you need to attenuate the input
signal level to prevent the sound distortion.
•Once you have made adjustment, it is memorized for each analog
source.

* Input attenuator mode (see page 12)
* Equalization pattern (see page 22)
* Speaker output levels (see page 22)
* Surround and DSP mode selection (see pages 23 and 26)
Notes:
• If the source is FM orAM, you can assign a different setting for
each band.
