back speakers and the ROOM 2 speakers
simultaneously, you should assign their power
amplifier correctly depending on how to use
them. (For details, refer to " ONNE TING
ROOM 2 AND ROOM 3 OUTS" on page 13 and
"When selecting the AMP Assign" on page 58.)
■Front Bi-Amp Connections.
• Some speakers are equipped with two sets of
input terminals, for bi-amplification.
• If no other surround back speakers are used,
you can connect the FRONT and the
SURROUND BA K/MULTI channels to the bi-
amp-capable speakers. (For details, refer to the
operating instructions of your bi-amp-capable
speakers.)
• To drive the bi-amp-capable speakers, you
should assign the power amplifier to "BI-AMP".
■Note :
• Before making bi-amp connections, remove the
short-circuiting bars from the terminals of your
speakers.
Caution :
• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance
of 6 ohms or above.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each
other or any metal part of this unit. This could

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of
your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example
of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows :
■Front left and right speakers and center speaker
• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush
with TV or monitor screen as possible.
• Place the center speaker between the front left and right
speakers and no further from the listening position than the
front speakers.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location
of the listener’s ears when at the main listening position.
■Surround left and right speakers
• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40
inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the
direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
■Surround back left and right speakers
• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the
front at a narrower distance than front speakers.
• When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the
rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to
20 cm ) than the surround speakers.
• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at
a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents
the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the
TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference
and making the sense of movement from the front to the
back less sharp.
■Subwoofer
• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
■Notes :
•When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference with
the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front
left and right and center speakers.
•To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except
the subwoofer should be full range speakers.

• In addition to your main room, you can also enjoy playback in two other rooms (ROOM 2 and ROOM 3).
■Connecting ROOM 2 OUTs
• You can select a different source for ROOM 2 and can play it.
• Depending on how to connect the ROOM 2 speakers, there are two ways as follows.
• In case of connecting the ROOM 2 speakers directly to this receiver, because this receiver cannot drive the surround back
speakers and the ROOM 2 speakers simultaneously, you should assign their power amplifier correctly depending on how to
use them. (For details, refer to "When selecting the AMP Assign" on page 58.)
■Connecting ROOM 3 OUTs
• You cannot select a different source for ROOM 3 and can play only the audio signals from the same source that you select
for main room.
■Notes :
• To minimize hum or noise, use high quality connection cords.
• You cannot use the digital audio signal for ROOM 2 and ROOM 3 playback.

Universal Remote Controls
This universal remote control can operate not only this receiver but also most popular brands of audio and video components
such as D players, tape decks, TVs, cable boxes, V Rs, DVD players, satellite receivers, etc.
• To operate 7 components other than this receiver , you should enter the setup code for each component.
(For details, refer to “USING FUN TIONS OF REMOTE ONTROL” on page 22.)
• The numbered buttons on the remote control have different functions in different device modes. For details, refer to
"FUN TION TABLE of the NUMBERED BUTTONS" on the next page.
■About the transmission signal
This remote control can emit not only the infrared beams which the conventional remote control(including the ROOM 2
remote control) uses but also the RF(Radio Frequency) beams which are stronger than those.
To operate this receiver and other components, this remote control should emit the infrared beams.
To operate this receiver only from longer distance even if there are obstacles such as walls, furniture, etc. in the way, this
remote control should emit the RF beams.
Therefore, depending on how to use this remote control, you should set the transmission signal mode to "IR"(default value)
or "RF". (For details, refer to " hanging the transmission signal" on page 30.)
■Notes :
• To receive the RF beams, you should connect the RF remote antenna to this receiver. (For details, refer to " ONNE TING
RF REMOTE ANTENNA" on page 14.)
• If the transmission signal mode is set to "RF", this remote control cannot control other audio and video components.
However, if the IR emitter is connected to the IR OUT jack, you can control other component via it. (For details, refer to
" ONNE TING MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM KIT" on page 15.)
