Placement

Place Your Speakers

Determine the locations for your system’s speakers

according to their manufacturer’s directions and the

layout of your listening room. Use the illustration below

as a guide for 5.1-channel systems.

To create the most realistic surround-sound environment

possible, you should place your speakers in a circle

with the listening position at its center. You should angle

each speaker so it directly faces the listening position.

Use the diagram below as a guide.

Placing the Left, Center and Right

Speakers

Place the center speaker either on top of, below or

mounted on the wall above or below the TV or video-

display screen. Place the front left and right speakers

along the circle, about 30 degrees from the center

speaker and angled toward the listener.

Place the front left, front right and center speakers at

the same height, preferably at about the same height

as the listener’s ears. The center speaker should be

no more than 2 feet (0.6m) above or below the left/

right speakers. If you’re using only two speakers with

your AVR, place them in the front left and front right

positions.

Placing the Surround Speakers

You should place the left and right surround speakers

approximately 110 degrees from the center speaker,

slightly behind and angled toward the listener.

Alternatively, you can place them behind the listener,

with each surround speaker facing the opposite-side

front speaker. You should place the surround speakers

2 feet – 6 feet (0.6m – 1.8m) higher than the listener’s

ears.

Placing the Subwoofer

Because a room’s shape and volume can have a

dramatic effect on a subwoofer’s performance, it is best

to experiment with placement so that you will nd the

location that produces the best results in your particular

listening room. With that in mind, these rules will help

you get started:

•

Placing the subwoofer next to a wall generally will

increase the amount of bass in the room.

•

Placing the subwoofer in a corner generally will

maximize the amount of bass in the room.

•

In many rooms, placing the subwoofer along the

same plane as the left and right speakers can

produce the best integration between the sound of

the subwoofer and that of the left and right speakers.

•

In some rooms, the best performance could even

result from placing the subwoofer behind the

listening position. A good way to determine the best

location for the subwoofer is by temporarily placing it

in the listening position and playing music with strong

bass content. Move around to various locations in

the room while the system is playing (putting your

ears where the subwoofer would be placed), and

listen until you nd the location where the bass

performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that

location.

English

Connections

•

Before making any connections to the audio/

video receiver, ensure that the AVR’s AC cord

is unplugged from the AVR and the AC outlet.

Making connections with the AVR plugged in and

turned on could damage the speakers.

English

Connect Your Audio and

Video Source Devices

Source devices are components where a playback

signal originates, e.g., a Blu-ray Disc™ or DVD player;

a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has

several different types of input connectors for your

audio and video source devices: HDMI, composite

video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and

analog audio.

Each of your AVR’s source buttons is assigned to an

analog audio input connector.

The digital inputs are not assigned to any specic sets

of analog inputs. Once you select a source device you

can use the remote control’s DIGITAL button to select

the specic audio input connection (HDMI, coaxial

digital, optical digital, analog) that you want to listen to.

(Note: You cannot select an audio input connection for

the FM/AM or USB source buttons.)

As you connect your various source components, ll out

the “Source Device Connected” and “Digital Audio Input

Connector Used” columns in the following table. it will

make it easy to keep track of which devices you have

connected to which connectors.

HDMI Devices

If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors,

using those connectors will provide the best possible

video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI

cable carries both digital video and digital audio

signals, you do not have to make any additional audio

connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables.

If you have a TV equipped with the HDMI Audio Return

Channel function, its sound is fed to the AVR via the

HDMI Monitor Out connection’s Audio Return Channel,

and it will not require additional audio connections to

the AVR.

Additional Tips for Troubleshooting HDMI

Connections

•

Turn off all devices (including the TV, the AVR and

any source components).

•

Unplug the HDMI cables, starting with the cable

between the AVR and the TV, and continuing with the

cables between the AVR and each source device.

•

Carefully reconnect the cables from the source

devices to the AVR. Connect the cable from the AVR

to the TV last.

•

Turn on the devices in this order: TV, AVR, source

devices.

•

Depending upon the particular components

involved, the complexity of the required

communication between HDMI components may

cause delays of up to a minute in the completion

of some actions, such as input switching or

switching between SD and HD channels.

for certain sources or program types. You can nd

more detailed information on surround modes in Audio

Processing and Surround Sound, below.

To select a surround mode, press the Surround Mode

Select buttons. Each press advances to the next

available surround mode.

Digital surround-sound modes, such as Dolby Digital

and DTS systems, are available only with specially

encoded programs, such as those available via HDTV,

DVD and Blu-ray Disc media and digital cable or

satellite television. Other surround modes such as

Dolby Pro Logic II may be used with digital or analog

signals to create a different surround presentation or to

use a different number of speakers.

Surround mode selection depends upon the number

of speakers in your system, the programs you are

watching or listening to, and your personal tastes.

Advanced Functions

Much of the adjusting and conguration your AVR

requires is handled automatically, with little intervention

required on your part. You can also customize your AVR

to suit your system and your tastes. In this section, we

will describe some of the more advanced adjustments

available to you.

Audio Processing and Surround Sound

Audio signals can be encoded in a variety of formats

that affect not only the quality of the sound but also the

number of speaker channels and the surround mode.

You may also manually select a different surround

mode, when available.

Analog Audio Signals

Analog audio signals usually consist of two channels –

left and right. Your AVR offers several options for analog

playback:

•

Stereo:

When you want conventional 2-channel

playback, press the STEREO button. Sound will be

output from the front left and right speakers.

•

5-ChStereo:

When you want to hear stereo sound

through all of the system’s speakers (such as during

a party), select 5CH STEREO via the Surround Mode

Select buttons. This plays the left-channel signal

through the front left and surround left speakers,

the right-channel signal through the front right and

surround right speakers, and a summed mono signal

through the center speaker.

•

Analog Surround Modes:

Your AVR is able to

process 2-channel audio signals to produce multi-

channel surround sound, even when no surround

sound has been encoded in the recording. Among

the available modes are Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby

Pro Logic, DTS Neo: 6, Theater, Hall, Stadium, Club

and Arena modes. Use the Surround Mode Select

buttons to select one of these modes.

Digital Audio Signals

Digital audio signals offer greater exibility and capacity

than analog signals and allow the encoding of up to 5.1

channels of discrete channel information directly into

the signal. The result is improved sound quality and

startling directionality, since each channel’s information

is transmitted independently of the other channels.

High-resolution recordings sound extraordinarily

distortion-free, especially in the high frequencies.

Digital surround-sound formats include Dolby Digital 2.0

When in doubt, check the broadcast or the jacket

of your disc for more information on which surround

modes are available. Usually, nonessential sections of a

disc, such as trailers, extra materials or the disc menu,

are available only in Dolby Digital 2.0 (2-channel) or

PCM 2-channel mode. Look for an audio setup section

in the disc’s menu.

Also, make sure your disc player’s audio output is set to

the original bitstream rather than 2-channel PCM. Stop

play and check the player’s output setting.
