Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them. 1. Left, Right (Front Speakers) Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects. 2. Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers. 3. Surround (Rear Speakers) The surround speakers' overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. 4. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.). Angle Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective. Height The three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set. A Note: Center speaker provided with this unit is magnetically shielded to protect your TV set. It is not recommended to place speak- ers without magnetic shield near the TV B set. -5- -6- -7- -8- -9- Connections and Setup Better Surround Placement Location If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it. Height If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects. Aiming Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious surround sound field. No adjacent walls Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed upwards; they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B). Alternative Surround Placement Rear wall If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come from behind you. Test Tone/Channel Balance Channel Balance Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator to help balance the audio level for each channel. See Audio Setup under The Setup Menu section for more details on how to access this feature. Level Adjustment and Surround Channel Level Expectation Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you may find that surround channels seems quieter for actual TV and Movie content. This is because producers use surround for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects.

Connecting to Your TV (VIDEO)
Method 1
Method 2
Method 1
Composite video jack (yellow)
The basic video jack is color-coded yellow.
• Video cable (yellow) is supplied for the
connection for good picture quality.
• Connect the video OUT jack on the receiver
to the
Video IN jack on your TV so the video
content goes from the receiver to the screen.
Method 2
Component video jacks (Pr, Pb, Y)
• The component video jacks are color-coded
green, blue and red.
• Additional component video cables (not
supplied) are required to provide best picture
quality. They are usually color-coded green, blue
and red.
Connect the component video OUT jacks on the
receiver to the component video IN jacks on your
TV so the video content goes from the receiver
to the screen.
If your television is a high definition
television, use the unit’s HDMI
output to get the highest possible video
resolution. If unable to use a HDMI
connection, use the unit’s component
video output and set the Progressive Scan
option in the Video menu to ON, to get the
next highest possible video resolution.
If one of the devices is not working,
check
that all the cables have been inserted
properly into the jacks.
If your component has only one input for
audio (mono), connect it to the left (white
L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t
connect the right audio part of the cable.
Connecting to Your TV (via HDMI input)
HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia In-
terface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncom-
pressed digital video on a single cable.
Press the HDMI button on the remote control to
change output signals as follows: 480p, 720p,1080i
and 1080p.

or AUDIO/AUX on the remote control to select
AUX IN mode.
Connecting the Speakers
Speaker wires are color-coded to match the terminals. Connect the speaker wire from the back of each
speaker to the corresponding color terminal at the back of the unit. Press down the tab to open the ter-
minal and insert the wire. Release the tab to lock wire in the terminal.
Note:
Center speaker provided with this unit is
magnetically shielded to protect your TV
set.
It is not recommended to place speak-
ers without magnetic shield near the TV
set.
Note:
When you press STOP, the unit stores the
point where playback was interrupted. If
you press
PLAY again, playback resumes
from this point.
To stop playback completely or to start
again from the beginning, press STOP twice.
If the unit is left in STOP mode for more than
5 minutes without any user interaction, a
screen saver is activated. At the end of 30
minutes without any user interaction, the
unit switches off automatically.
Note:
Insert 2 “AAA” batteries into the re-
mote control prior to use.
1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound
effects.
2. Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most
of the dialog as well as music and effects.
It should be set between the left and right
speakers.
3. Surround (Rear Speakers)
The surround speakers’ overall sound balance
should be as close as possible to the front speakers.
Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly
distributed sound field.
4. Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful
low
bass
effects
(explosions,
the
rumble
of
spaceships, etc.).

Front Speaker Placement
For best results, follow the speaker placement
below.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slight-
ly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not
ahead of them.
Angle
Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-de-
gree angle with your favorite viewing position to
duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.
Height
The three front speakers should be as close as
possible to the same height. This often requires
placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or
beneath (B) the TV set.
Positioning Speakers
A
B
Note:
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the re-
ceiver) of speaker wires and terminals match. For example, red wire to red terminal on the
receiver. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted. Do not let the speaker wires
touch each other, it will damage the system’s amplifier.
Better Surround Placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side
of the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above
viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room,
not down at viewers, to help create a more open,
spacious surround sound field.
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or
towards the sidewalls (C, D).
Experiment with placement until sounds seem to
surround you, rather than come from behind you.
No adjacent walls
Surround speakers can go on stands facing
each other to approximate sidewall mounting
(A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area,
aimed upwards; they can go right on the floor, or
preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end
tables (B).
Test Tone/Channel Balance
Channel Balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal
generator to help balance the audio level for each
channel. See Audio Setup under The Setup Menu
section for more details on how to access this
feature.
Level Adjustment and Surround Channel Level
Expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to
be as loud as the others on the test signal, you
may find that surround channels seems quieter
for actual TV and Movie content. This is because
producers use surround for subtle atmospherics
and ambience, and only rarely for special effects.
