Getting Started
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
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 unit.
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 effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-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 look similar may
differ in voltage.
•Always replace both batteries at the same time.
•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
Before Installation
General Precautions
•DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
•DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
•DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
•Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
•The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C
(23˚F and 95˚F).
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
•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.
•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
•When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in the parentheses indicates the 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.

antenna
or
FM antenna (supplied)
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
Snap the tabs on the loop
into the slots of the base
to assemble the AM loop
antenna.
AM antenna connection
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP
terminals.
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 supplied FM antenna 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
standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
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.

Connecting the Speakers
Speaker layout diagram
After connecting the front, center, rear speakers and/or subwoofer,
set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best
possible Surround effects. For details, see pages 16 to 18.
CAUTION:
Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.
Connecting the front speakers
You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT
SPEAKERS 1terminals, and the other pair to the FRONT
SPEAKERS 2terminals).
About the speaker impedance
The required speaker impedance of the front speakers does differ
depending on whether both the FRONT SPEAKERS 1and FRONT
SPEAKERS 2terminals are used or only one of them is used.
CASE 1 When you connect only one pair of front speakers

Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA
pin plugs (not supplied).
•Refer also to the manual supplied for your subwoofer.
Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a
subwoofer wherever you like. Normally place it in front of
you.
Connecting Audio/Video Components
Turn off all components before connecting.
You can connect the following audio/video components to this unit.
Refer also to the manuals supplied with your components.
* You can connect these components using the methods described in
“Analog connections”(below) or in “Digital connections”(see page 9).
Analog 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.

Video component connections
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the

•If video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) terminals, connect them using
an S-video cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not
supplied). By using these terminals, you can get a better picture
quality in the order—Component video > S-video > Composite
video.
IMPORTANT:
This unit is equipped with the following video terminals: composite
video, S-video and component video terminals. You can use any of
these three to connect a video component.
However, remember that the video signals from one type of these
input terminals are output only through the video output
terminals of the same type.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video
component are connected to the unit through the different types of
video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing
component onto the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a
playing video component are connected to the unit through the
different types of video terminals, you cannot view the playback
picture from the playing component on the TV.
VCR
Note:
You can connect either a cassette deck or a CD recorder to the
TAPE/CDR jacks. When connecting a CD recorder to the TAPE/CDR
jacks, change the source name, which will be shown on the display
when selected as the source. See page 11 for details.
If your audio components have a COMPU LINK jack
See also page 31 for detailed information about the connection and
the COMPU LINK remote control system.

digital coaxial terminal and one digital optical terminal.
You can connect any digital component to one of the digital
terminals using a digital coaxial cable (not supplied).
IMPORTANT:
•When connecting the DVD player or digital TV using the digital
terminals, 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 “Setting the Digital Input (DIGITAL IN) Terminals”on
page 14.
–Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting
the Analog or Digital Input Mode”on page 14.

DVD player
Digital TV
Before connecting a digital
optical cable, unplug the
protective plug.
When the component has a digital coaxial
output terminal, connect it to the DIGITAL 1
(DVD) terminal with the digital coaxial cable
(not supplied).
When the component has a digital optical
output terminal, connect it to the DIGITAL 2
(CD) terminal, using the digital optical cable
(not supplied).
Notes:
•When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have
been set for use with the following components:
–DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player
–DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player
•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 pages 6
and 7).
•When you want to operate the DVD player using the AV COMPU
LINK remote control system, connect the DVD player also as
described in “Analog connections”(see page 8).
Connecting the Power Cord
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have 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 interference. We
recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
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.
