Getting started
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 (23˚F and 95˚F).
•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)
•Digital coaxial cable (×1)
To operate the receiver, set the
mode selector to
“AUDIO/TV/VCR/DBS.”

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.

7Connecting a DVD recorder or DVD player with its stereo output jacks:
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.
Connecting video components
Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.
NOTE
When connecting a DVD recorder or DVD player to the
component video input jacks, make the component video input
setting (DVD VIDEO) correctly for AV COMPU LINK remote

Basic settings
To obtain the best possible sound effect from Surround/DSP
modes (see pages 27 to 31), you need to set up the speaker and
subwoofer information after all the connections are completed.
From pages 16 to 21, how to set speakers and other basic items
of the receiver are explained.
Setting the speaker information
automatically—Smart Surround Setup
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of
the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect for
the Surround/DSP modes.
By using Smart Surround Setup, the following are automatically
calculated by one simple action—clapping hands.
•Speaker distance (compared to that of the closest speaker)
•Speaker output level (except the subwoofer)
NOTES
•To set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround
Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected
to this receiver and the subwoofer which may cause noise.
•Before starting Smart Surround Setup, set the speaker
information correctly (SML, LRG, or NO) according to your
speakers except the subwoofer (see page 18).
• When the setting is made by Smart Surround Setup, the
speaker distance and output level you have set before will be
inactive.
•If you have turned off the display, cancel the Dimmer (see page
15); otherwise, you cannot see the information on the display
during Smart Surround Setup.
•Smart Surround Setup will not be done correctly if you or other
object blocks the sound.
•When you change your speakers, do the following procedure
again.
From the remote control ONLY:
2 Press and hold SMART SURROUND SETUP
until “SETTING UP” flashes on the display.
3 Confirm that “SETTING UP” stops flashing,
then clap your hands over your head once
while “SETTING UP” still remains on the
display.
The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming
through each speakers (except the subwoofer).
When your clapping sound is detected successfully,
“SUCCESSFUL” appears on the display, then the values set are
shown as follows:
Ex.:
Then the receiver returns to
normal operation mode.
*1 Standard channel (the closest speaker).
This speaker position now works as the reference
position (“0m/ft”) and other speakers’ distance is
shown by the difference with this reference speaker
position.
*2 L: Left front speaker
R: Right front speaker
C: Center speaker
LS: Left surround speaker
RS: Right surround speaker
SB: Surround back speaker
*3 Difference of each speaker position in distance (in
meters or feet).
*4 Each speaker’s output level (–6 to +6).
When your clapping sound is not detected correctly,
“SETTING UP” appears again after one of the following
messages. In this case, repeat step 3 .
SILENT: •The receiver detects sound from only the left
and right front speakers.
•The receiver detects no sound from the front
speakers and detects sound from at least one of
the other speakers.
SILENT-ALL: The receiver cannot detect any sound from any
speakers for about 15 seconds.
FAILED: The receiver cannot detect sound from the left or
right front speaker.
1 Take your position where you listen to the
sound.
•Make sure speaker cables are connected firmly.

*When “SUBWOOFER” is set to “SUBWFR : NO,” the front
speaker size is fixed to “LRG” (and you cannot select “SML”).
NOTES
•If you have selected “SML (small)” for the front speaker size,
you cannot select “LRG (large)” for other speakers.
•When “SURRND SPK” is set to “SML (small),” you cannot select
“LRG (large)” for the surround back speaker.
•When “SURRND SPK” is set to “NO,” the surround back
speaker is fixed to “NO.”
•If you change one of the speaker size either from “NO” to “SML”
or “LRG,” or from “SML” or “LRG” to “NO,” the distance and
output level manually set will be applied instead of those set by
using Smart Surround Setup.
