ENGLISH
Make connections as shown in the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be sure
to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the
components you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Notes
1.
Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, sound may not be produced or there will be noise inference.
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging
or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection
cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions
and may damage the unit.
3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power
consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the
rear of this unit.
Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer
stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually
have 2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for
the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the
source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even
though all connections have been made properly, reset the
microcomputer referring to “In case of difficulty”. ‡
Setting up the system
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks
for digital audio input and analog audio input.
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for CD/DVD,
DVD/6CH and VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 3 are FULL AUTO.
After completing connections and turning on this model, follow the
steps below.
INPUT MODE

36CH INPUT (DVD/6CH input only)
4ANALOG (analog input)
Auto detect:
In FULL AUTO mode ("AUTO DETECT" indicator lights up), the
receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically.
The receiver will select the input mode and listening mode auto-
matically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby
Digital, PCM, DTS) and the speaker setting. º
The "DIGITAL" indicator lights up when a digital signal is
detected. The "DIGITAL" indicator is extinguished when no
digital signal is detected.
Fixed to digital input:
Select this mode if you want to keep the decoding condition (Dolby
Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) in the current listen mode.
When DIGITAL MANUAL mode is selected, the set listen modes
may be changed automatically depending on the input signal. º
Fixed to analog input:
Select this setting to play analog signals from a VCR, etc.

3Insert the cord. 4Return the lever.
•Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.
•If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker
cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatu-
ral with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers
correctly.
Setting up the system
Speaker impedance
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the
rear panel of this model, connect speakers with matching
impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other
than that indicated on the rear panel of this model could result in
malfunctions or damage to the speakers or this model.
Speaker placement
*For Surround Back Speaker, you may place either two Surround
Back Speakers (Surround Back Left Speaker and Surround Back
Right Speaker) for 7.1 channel surround sound system or one
Surround Back Speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound system.
Front (left and right) Speakers
Place at the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers
are required for all surround modes.
Center Speaker
Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and
helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback.
Surround (left and right) Speakers
Place at the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening
position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the
listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere.
Subwoofer
Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the
listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center
speaker. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speak-
ers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low
frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)
Surround Back Speaker/s
Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the
same height as the left and right surround speakers.
•Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers
listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you
can divide those signals between the available speakers in the
speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround
reproduction from the speakers you have available. &
