Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified

service personnel.

IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 10 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in

your plug, proceed as follows;

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter L or coloured RED.

How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

Installing the receiver

• When installing this unit, make sure to put

it on a level and stable surface.

Don’t install it on the following places:

– on a color TV (the screen may distort)

– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that

gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere

with the sound.

– in direct sunlight

– in damp or wet areas

– in extremely hot or cold areas

– in places where there is vibration or other

movement

– in places that are very dusty

– in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as

a kitchen)

• Do not touch this receiver’s bottom panel

while the power is on or just after it is

turned off. The bottom panel becomes hot

when the power is on (or right after it is

turned off) and could cause burns.

Loading the batteries

The batteries included with the unit are to

check initial operations; they may not last over

a long period. We recommend using alkaline

batteries that have a longer life.

CAUTION

Incorrect use of batteries may result in such

hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the

following precautions:

• Never use new and old batteries together.

• Insert the plus and minus sides of the

batteries properly according to the marks

in the battery case.

• Batteries with the same shape may have

different voltages. Do not use different

batteries together.

• When disposing of used batteries, please

comply with governmental regulations or

environmental public instruction’s rules

that apply in your country or area.

• WARNING

Do not use or store batteries in direct

sunlight or other excessively hot place,

such as inside a car or near a heater. This

can cause batteries to leak, overheat,

explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the

life or performance of batteries.

Determining the speakers’

application

This unit permits you to build various surround

systems, in accordance with the number of

speakers you have.

• Be sure to connect speakers to the front

left and right channels (L and R).

• It is also possible to only connect one of the

surround back speakers (SB) or neither.

Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.

[A] 9.1 channel surround system (Front

height)

*Default setting

• Speaker System setting: Normal(SB/FH)

A 9.1 ch surround system connects the left and

right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker

(C), the left and right front height speakers

(FHL/FHR), the left and right surround

speakers (SL/SR), the left and right surround

back speakers (SBL/SBR), and the subwoofer

(SW).

This surround system produces a more true-to-

life sound from above.

[B] 9.1 channel surround system (Front

wide)

•

Speaker System setting: Normal(SB/FW)

This plan replaces the left and right front

height speakers shown in [A] with the left and

right front wide speakers (FWL/FWR).

This surround system produces a true-to-life

sound over a wider area.

[C] 7.1 channel surround system &

Speaker B connection

• Speaker System setting: Speaker B

With these connections you can

simultaneously enjoy 5.1-channel surround

sound in the main zone with stereo playback of

the same sound on the B speakers. The same

connections also allow for 7.1-channel

surround sound in the main zone when not

using the B speakers.

[D] 5.1 channel surround system & Front

Bi-amping connection (High quality

surround)

• Speaker System setting: Front Bi-Amp

Bi-amping connection of the front speakers for

high sound quality with 5.1-channel surround

sound.

[E] 5.1 channel surround system & ZONE

2 connection (Multi Zone)

• Speaker System setting: ZONE 2

With these connections you can

simultaneously enjoy 5.1-channel surround

sound in the main zone with stereo playback

on another component in ZONE 2 (The

selection of input devices is limited.)

Important

•The Speaker System setting must be

made if you use any of the connections

shown above other than [A] (see Speaker

system setting on page 101).

• Sound does not come through

simultaneously from the front height, front

wide, speaker B and surround back

speakers. Output speakers are different

depending on the input signal or listening

mode.

Other speaker connections

• Your favorite speaker connections can be

selected even if you have fewer than 5.1

speakers (except front left/right speakers).

• When not connecting a subwoofer,

connect speakers with low frequency

reproduction capabilities to the front

channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency

component is played from the front

speakers, so the speakers could be

damaged.)

• After connecting, be sure to conduct

the Auto MCACC (speaker environment

setting) procedure.

See Automatically conducting optimum

sound tuning (Auto MCACC) on page 39.

Placing the speakers

Refer to the chart below for placement of the

speakers you intend to connect.

• Place the surround speakers at 120º from

the center. If you, (1) use the surround back

speaker, and, (2) don’t use the front height

speakers / front wide speakers, we

recommend placing the surround speaker

right beside you.

• If you intend to connect only one surround

back speaker, place it directly behind you.

• Place the left and right front height

speakers at least 1 m directly above the left

and right front speakers.

Some tips for improving sound quality

Where you put your speakers in the room has

a big effect on the quality of the sound. The

following guidelines should help you to get the

best sound from your system.

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.

Ideally, the other speakers should be at

about ear-level when you’re listening to

them. Putting the speakers on the floor

(except the subwoofer), or mounting them

very high on a wall is not recommended.

• For the best stereo effect, place the front

speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal

distance from the TV.

• If you’re going to place speakers around

your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or

place the speakers at a sufficient distance

from your CRT TV.

• If you’re using a center speaker, place the

front speakers at a wider angle. If not,

place them at a narrower angle.

• Place the center speaker above or below

the TV so that the sound of the center

channel is localized at the TV screen. Also,

make sure the center speaker does not

cross the line formed by the leading edge

of the front left and right speakers.

• It is best to angle the speakers towards the

listening position. The angle depends on

the size of the room. Use less of an angle

for bigger rooms.

• Surround and surround back speakers

should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher

than your ears and tilted slightly downward.

Make sure the speakers don’t face each

other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should

be more directly behind the listener than for

home theater playback.

• Try not to place the surround speakers

farther away from the listening position

than the front and center speakers. Doing

so can weaken the surround sound effect.

Connecting the speakers

Each speaker connection on the receiver

comprises a positive (+) and negative (–)

terminal. Make sure to match these up with the

terminals on the speakers themselves.

CAUTION

• These speaker terminals carry

HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent

the risk of electric shock when connecting

or disconnecting the speaker cables,

disconnect the power cord before touching

any uninsulated parts.

• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is

twisted together and inserted fully into the

speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker

wire touches the back panel it may cause

the power to cut off as a safety measure.

Bare wire connections

A-Speaker terminals:

1 Twist exposed wire strands together.

2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.

3 Tighten terminal.

B-Speaker terminals:

1 Twist exposed wire strands together.

2 Push open the tabs and insert exposed

wire.

3 Release the tabs.

Important

• Please refer to the manual that came with

your speakers for details on how to connect

the other end of the speaker cables to your

speakers.

• Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer.

It is not possible to connect using speaker

cables.

CAUTION

• Make sure that all speakers are securely

installed. This not only improves sound

quality, but also reduces the risk of

damage or injury resulting from speakers

being knocked over or falling in the event of

external shocks such as earthquakes.
