Getting Started
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the
power suppl_z
General
•Be sure your hands are dry.
•Turn the power aftra 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.
•The temperature around the receiver must be between 5C and
35C (23F and95°F).
•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 following items, which are
supplied with the receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces
supplied.

A. Using the Supplied FM Antenna
The FM antenna provided can be connected to the FM 75 f2
COAXIAL temainal as temporary measure.
B. Using the Standard Type Connector (Not Supplied)
A standard type connector should be connected to the FM 75 £2
COAXIAL tem_inal.
* AM Loop Antenna (1)
* FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
Note:
If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna.
Before attaching a 75.0 coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire
going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of
each speaker signal cable (not supplied).
Open the terminal and then insert the speaker
signal cable.
Close the terminal.
Connecting the front; speakers
Connect fi'ont speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals.
Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
Notes:
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, _,"
remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram. _
• 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-co vered wire to
the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)
You can connect the following speakers:
• One pair of fi'ont speakers to produce normal stereo sound.
• One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround ef'f_ct.
• One center speaker to produce more eft'_ctive surround ef'f_ct (to
emphasize hmnan ,_ices).
• One subwoof_r to enhance the bass.
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the speakers listed above, set the speaker
setting information properly to obtain the best possible DSP
effect. For details, see page 12.
For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and ( )
terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and ( ) terminals marked on
the speakers. For connecting a subwoof_r, see page 5.
CAUTION:
Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.

Digital connections
This receiver is equipped with two DIGITAL IN terminals one
digital coaxial terminal and one digital optical terminah
You can connect any component to one of the digital terminals using
a digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical cable (not
supplied).
iMPORTANT:
• When connecting the DVD player or digital TV broadcast tuner using
the digital terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack on
the rear. Without connecting it to the video jack, 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 "Digital Input (DIGITAL IN)Terminal Setting" on page
I4.
- Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see "Selecting
the Analog or Digital Input Mode" on page I4.

•When you want to operate the CD player or CD recorder using the
COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target
component also as described in "Analog connections" (see page 5).
Before plugging the receix er into anAC outlet, make sure that all
connections haxe been made.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Keep the power cord away from the
connecting cables and the antenna. The
power cord may cause noise or screen interfkrence. We recommend
that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-
shielded against interfkrence.
Note:
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:
-When you unplug the power cord.
-When a power failure occurs.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
• 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.
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the receiver.
1 2 3
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
3. Replace the cover.
If the range or effcetix eness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3) AA(15F) type &T-cell batteries.
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 took similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
