When you do not install the center speaker, sound assigned to it is distributed to front speakers and output from them.
Surround speakers (left, right)
Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area.
When you do not install surround speakers, sound assigned to them is distributed to front speakers and output from them.
Surround back speakers (left, right)
Place behind the seating area, about 1 meter (3 feet) higher than ear level.
When you do not install any surround back speaker, sound assigned to them is distributed to surround speakers or front speakers and
output from them.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.
How to connect speaker cables If using 4-mm plug

Connections
See pages 8 and 9 for placing and connecting your speakers according to their number.
Bi-wire speakers have separate connection terminals for high frequency and low frequency signals.
• Bi-wiring prevents high frequency and low frequency signals from interfering with each other. It offers playback in high audio quality.
• HF and LF stand for high frequency and low frequency, respectively.
Make sure to select “YES ” in “Making bi-wire setting” (below) when you connect the unit to bi-wire speakers. The speakers do not
produce adequate sounds unless you make this setting.
• Make sure to connect speakers’ HF terminals with the unit’s FRONT B terminals, and speakers’ LF terminals with the unit’s FRONT A
terminals.
Different amps for high frequency and low frequency signals produce BI-AMP stereo sounds that are clearer and higher in audio
quality when you play on 2 channels sources containing analog audio and 2-channel PCM signals (á page 27).
See “Making BI-AMP settings” (á page 36) for detailed settings.

Auto speaker setup using the setup microphone
Using the supplied setup microphone, you can measure such items as distance from the seating area, polarity and size
and make adjustment for connected speakers.
Keep quiet during the auto speaker setup. Conversational voice, air-conditioning noise and small sounds made by winds may cause an error or
produce an incorrect setting. Speakers output loud test signals during the auto speaker setup. Make sure to keep little children out of the room.
• Mute the TV volume before starting the auto speaker setup.
• When the subwoofer is connected, make sure it is turned on. (There are subwoofer models that turn off automatically.)
Set the subwoofer volume to the normal listening level.
• The setup microphone is sensitive to heat. Keep it away from direct sunlight and avoid placing it on top of the unit.
• These settings remain effective after the unit goes off.
• The setup microphone jack is for use with the setup microphone only. Do not connect other microphones.
• The volume may reach an extremely high level when you repeat the auto speaker setup.
When the auto speaker setup is finished, check the volume before starting playback.
To cancel the setup
halfway

5
Place the setup microphone.
Place the setup microphone on a flat surface to
stabilize it.
Examples: a level bench sharing the height with
the seating area, a top section of a sofa etc.
• Set the microphone at seated ear height.
Use a tripod (for camera and other products) for
best results.
To start the setup
Press and hold (on the remote control) for 2 seconds.
• The “AUTO SPEAKER SETUP” indicator flashes.
When all auto settings are made, “
COMPLETE
” appears and the “AUTO SPEAKER SETUP” indicator lights on.
The auto speaker setup takes about 3 minutes to finish in the case of a 5.1-channel system.
The unit cancels the auto speaker setup halfway through when you give a different
operational instruction before the setup finishes.
You can perform other operations after “COMPLETE ” is displayed. The unit keeps the
settings even if you move straight on to another operation.
6
To finish the setup
Press (on the remote control).
• The unit turns off and on in quick succession for completing the setup.
• Unplug the setup microphone when the setup is finished.
Such factors as speaker types, room conditions and speaker placement may cause the unit to set speaker size, lowpass filter frequency and other
items differently for the same type of speakers or produce settings that differ from the actual characteristics of respective speakers.
When sound from speakers seems odd, check the following settings. When you find undesirable settings, correct them manually.
• See “Setting speakers and their sizes”, “Setting distances” and “Setting the lowpass filter” (á page 35).

ADVANCED DUAL AMP (á page 39)
The unit takes advantage of unused amps, and runs one speaker with 2
amps when this function is on. ADVANCED DUAL AMP offers you
sounds that are clearer and higher in audio quality than those available
in normal playback. In 2-channel stereo playback, 3 speaker amps drive
front speakers. The operation is called the triple amp mode.
2-channel stereo playback: Front, surround and surround back
speaker amps are used for driving front speakers (triple amp mode).
5.1-channel playback: Front and surround back speaker amps
are used for driving front speakers (dual amp mode).
When surround speakers are connected wirelessly (

unit uses the wireless system amp for 5.1-channel playback. Under
the condition, front speakers are driven in the triple amp mode.
BI-AMP (á page 39)
The unit takes advantage of the front speaker and the surround
speaker amps, and drives the speakers’ high-frequency and low-

User memo:
Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is
only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This
manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and
clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts
to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or
loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
