CONNECTIONS

This unit uses acoustic field effects and sound decoders to bring you the impact of a real movie theater or concert hall. These effects will be brought to you with ideal speaker positioning and

connections in your listening environment.

Speaker channels and functions

■

Front left and right speakers

The front speakers are used for the front channel sounds (stereo

sound) and effect sounds.

Front speaker layout:

Place these speakers at an equal distance from the ideal listening

position in the front of the room. When using a projector screen,

the appropriate top positions of the speakers are about 1/4 of the

screen from the bottom.

■

Center speaker

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals,

etc.).

Center speaker layout:

Place it halfway between the left and right front speakers. When

using a TV, place the speaker just above or just under the center of

the TV with the front surfaces of the TV and the speaker aligned.

When using a screen, place it just under the center of the screen.

■

Surround left and right speakers

The surround speakers are for effect and vocal sounds with the 5.1-

channel speakers providing rear-area sounds. When used with 6.1/

7.1-channel (including surround back channel), sound for right and

left rear-area is output.

Surround speaker layout:

Place the speakers at the rear of the room on the left and right sides

facing the listening position. They should be placed between 60

degrees and 80 degrees from the listening position and with the

speaker tops at a height of 4.9 – 5.9 ft. (1.5 – 1.8 m) from the floor.

■

Presence left and right speakers

The presence speakers are used for front effect sounds. When used

in combination with the sound programs (☞

p. 43), a sound with a

richer and more spatial presence is possible.

Presence speaker layout:

Place the left and right presence speakers 1.6 – 3.3 ft. (0.5 – 1 m) to

the outside of the left and right front speakers respectively. The

tops of the presence speakers should be 5.9 ft. (1.8 m) above the

floor.

■

Surround back left and right speakers

Outputs the rear effect. When used with 6.1ch sound, sound from

the left and right sound surround back speakers is mixed and output

from a single speaker. When used with 5.1ch sound, sound from

surround back speakers is distributed between the left and right

surround speakers.

Surround back speaker layout:

When used with 7.1ch sound, arrange the left and right speakers

towards the listening position, to the rear of the listening position.

Arrange the left and right speakers at least 1 ft. (30 cm) apart. The

same separation as with the front left and right speakers is

optimum.

When used with 6.1ch sound, arrange these to the rear of the

listening position.

■

Subwoofer

The subwoofer speaker is used for bass sounds and low-frequency

effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital and DTS. Use a

subwoofer that is equipped with built-in amplifier.

Subwoofer speaker layout:

Place it to the outside of the front left and right speakers facing

slightly inward to reduce echoes from the wall.

Connecting speakers and subwoofer

Connect your speakers to their respective terminals on the rear panel.

■ Front/Center/Surround/Surround back speaker and

Subwoofer connection

■ Presence speaker connection

When using the presence speakers, connect the speakers to the

EXTRA SP jacks as shown in the diagram below.

The presence speakers (PL/PR) that output front effect sounds can

be connected to this unit. With the sound programs (☞

p. 47),

sound with a richer and more spatial presence can be created.

CAUTION

• Remove the AC power cable of this unit from the power outlet before connecting the speakers.

• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a line running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different colored (or lined) cable into the “+”

(positive, red) terminal on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the “–” (negative, black) terminal.

• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit. This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “CHECK SP

WIRES!” will appear on the front panel display when this unit is switched on.

CAUTION

The EXTRA SP jacks of this unit should not be connected to a

Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or more than one loudspeaker

per channel.

Connection to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or multiple

speakers per channel could create an abnormally low impedance

load resulting in amplifier damage. See this owner’s manual for

correct usage.

Compliance with minimum speaker impedance information for all

channels must be maintained at all times. This information is found

on the back panel of this unit.
