    Speakers

    Carefully check the left (L) and right (R)channels and + (red) and (black) polaritieson the speakers being connected to the

    this unit, and be sure to interconnect thechannels and polarities correctly.

    Connecting the speaker cablesPeel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm of sheathing fromthe tip of the speaker cable, then either twist thecore wire tightly or terminate it.

    When using a banana plugTighten the speaker terminal rmly beforeinserting the banana plug.

    NOTE Connect so that the speaker cable core wires

    do not protrude from the speaker terminal.The protection circuit may be activated if thecore wires touch the rear panel or if the + and sides touch each other ( v page 75 ProtectionCircuit).

    Never touch the speaker terminals while thepower supply is connected. Doing so couldresult in electric shock.

    The Simple version describes the installation, connection and setup methods for 5.1-channel speakers.See page 30 for the installation, connection and setup methods for speakers other than 5.1-channel speakers.

    The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room aremeasured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is calledAudyssey Auto Setup.To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all

    around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in sixpositions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions). When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, MultEQ /Dynamic EQ /Dynamic

    Volume functions become active ( v page 49, 50). To set up the speakers manually, use Speaker Setup ( v page 52) on the menu.

    NOTE Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close

    windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, uorescent lights, home appliances,light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds.

    Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as RadioFrequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).

    Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey Auto Setup is completed. Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or all ow obstacles in the path while the

    measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings. Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto s etup. This is part of

    normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals willincrease in volume.

    Operating VOLdf during the measurements will cancel the measurements. Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.

    About setup microphone placement

    Measurements are performed by placi ng the setup microphone successiv ely at multiple positi onsthroughout the entire listening area, as shown in GExample q H. For best results, we recommend youmeasure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions).

    Even if the listening envi ronment is small as shown in GExample w H, measuring at multiple pointsthroughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

    About the main listening position (*M)The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one wouldnormally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setupmicrophone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ uses the measurements from this positionto calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

    The Simple version describes the installation, connection and setup methods for 5.1-channel speakers.See page 30 for the installation, connection and setup methods for speakers other than 5.1-channel speakers.

    2 Set up the subwoofer

    If using a subwoofer capable of thefollowing adjustments, set up thesubwoofer as shown below.

    Connecting an HDMI-compatible deviceYou can connect up to ve HDMI-compatible devices to the unit.

    HDMI functionThis unit supports the following HDMI functions: High resolution video signal 3D Deep Color ( v page 74) Auto Lip Sync ( v page 55) x.v.Color, sYCC601 color, Adobe RGB color, Adobe YCC601color ( v page 74, 75)

    High denition digital audio format ARC (Audio Return Channel) Content Type CEC (HDMI control)

    Copyright protection systemIn order to play back digital video and audio such as BD-Video or DVD-Video via HDMI connection, boththis unit and TV or the player need to support the copyright protection system known as HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright protection technology comprised ofdata encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio are not output correctly. Read

    the owners manual of your television or player for more information.

    About HDMI cables

    When a device supporting Deep Color signal transfer is connected, use a cable compatible High SpeedHDMI cable or High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet When the ARC function is used, connect a device with a Standard HDMI cable with Ethernet or High

    Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet for HDMI 1.4.

    HDMI control function (v page 34)This function allows you to operate external devices from the receiver and operate the receiver fromexternal devices.

    NOTE The HDMI control function may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its settings. You cannot operate a TV or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player that is not compatible with the HDMI control

    function.

    About 3D functionThis unit supports input and output of 3D (3 dimensional) video signals of the HDMI 1.4 standards, Forplaying the 3D video content, a player, and a TV that support the 3D function of the HDMI 1.4 standardsare required in addition to this unit.

    How the on-screen display is displayed depending on the videoinput signalThe way the on-screen display of the menus, status, etc., is dis played differs according to the type of videosignal input to this unit.

    About ARC (Audio return channel) functionThe Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cabl e, to send audio data upstreamto this unit, increasing user exibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection.

    NOTETo enable the ARC function,set HDMI Control to ON ( v page 55).

    About Content TypeThe HDMI Specication Version 1.4 enables simple, automated picture setting selection with no userintervention.The Content Type feature enables a display to auto-select the correct viewing mode to match the contenttype it is currently receiving from a source device, and to switch modes when a new content source isselected. Content Type supports content proles for gaming, movie, photograph, and text viewing modes.

    NOTETo enable the Content type, set Video Mode to Auto ( v page 45).

    When this unit is connected to other devices with HDMI cables, also connect this unit and TV using anHDMI cable.

    When connecting a device that supports Deep Color transmission, please use a High Speed HDMIcable or High Speed cable with Ethernet.

    Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitors resolution. In this case,switch the Blu-ray Disc/DVD players resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.

    When this unit and monitor are connected with an HDMI cable, if the monitor is not compatible withHDMI audio signal playback, only the video signals are output to the monitor.

    NOTEThe audio signal from the HDMI output connector (sampling frequency, number of channels, etc.) may belimited by the HDMI audio specications of the connected device regarding permissible inputs.

    Connecting to a device equipped with a DVI-D connectorWhen an HDMI/DVI conversion cable (sold separately) is used, the HDMI video signals are converted toDVI signals, allowing connection to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector.

    NOTE No sound is output when connected to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector. Make separate audio

    connections. Signals cannot be output to DVI-D devices that do not support HDCP. Depending on the combination of devices, the video signals may not be output.
