Connecting to TV’s Analog Video Input

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.

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.

•

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.

•

Connecting mono components to your

receiver: If your component has only one

output for audio (mono), connect it to the

white audio jack on the receiver and don’t

use the cable’s red plugs.

Getting sound from external sources

such as TV

Using AUDIO IN jack

1. Connect the Ø3.5mm AUDIO IN jack on the front

panel of the unit to the headphone output on mp3

players.

2. Press either SOURCE on the main unit or AUDIO IN

on the remote control to select AUDIO IN mode.

3. If you wish to change the Sound Mode setting (5.1

Channels or Stereo mode), please see instructions on

Page 18 under

Channels

setting section.

Using AUX IN (ANALOG R/L)

jacks

1. Connect the AUX IN (ANALOG R/L) jacks on the

back of the unit to the AUDIO OUT jacks on VCR,

TV, Set Top Box or other component.

2. Press the AUX IN button on the remote control

to activate the sound from the external source.

3. The unit will default to playing in 5.1 Channels.

However, if you’d like to change the Sound

Mode Setting, please see how to change

Channels

setting on page 18

(5.1 Channels or

Stereo mode).

Using OPTICAL IN

jack

IN jack on the back of the unit

to the OPTICAL OUT jack on VCR, TV, Set Top Box or

other component.

2. Press the DIGITAL button on the remote control to

activate the sound from the external source.

3.

If you wish to change the Surround Mode setting (NOT

Notes

•

Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected TV

as well.

•

If you use your TV’s speakers for audio and you

find the TV doesn’t play the unit’s audio correctly,

you may need to switch the Audio setting on your

unit (see section 18 of this sheet).

•

When

using

HDMI

cable,

do

not

connect

to

other analog video outputs.

•

Suggest using Ø3.5mm AUDIO IN

jack for MP3 player and AUX IN

jacks for equipment such as TV,

VCR, Satellite or Cable Box.

•

If the AUX IN (or AUDIO IN) audio signal

is mono, you may not receive audio on

all speakers.

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

terminal and insert the wire. Release the tab to lock wire in the terminal.

• When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver. For

example, red wire to red terminal on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals match. If the cords are

reversed, the sound will be distorted. Do not let the speaker wires touch each other, it will damage the

Home Theater’s amplifier.

Note

Insert 2 “AAA” batteries in the remote

control prior to use.

Things to consider before you connect

•

Ensure that the mains supply in your house

complies with that indicated on the identification

sticker located on the back of your unit.

•

Install your unit horizontally, away from

any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances

creating strong magnetic or electric fields. The

components of this unit are sensitive to heat.

The maximum ambient temperature should not

exceed 35°C / 95°F.

•

Leave enough space around the unit to allow

adequate ventilation: 10 cm/4 inches on either

side and above the top, and 5 cm/2 inches at the

rear.

•

The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%.

If you have to use the unit outdoors, do not expose

it to rain or splashing water. The apparatus should

not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no

objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should

be placed on the apparatus.

•

Moving the unit from a cold place to a warm one

can cause condensation on some components

inside the unit. Let the condensation disappear

on its own before turning the unit on again.

•

Before moving the unit, make sure the disc tray

is empty.

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 you balance the audio level for

each channel. See Audio Setup under The Setup

Menu section of Instruction Book for details on

how to access this feature .

As the signal “travels” from channel to channel,

use the VOL controls to adjust each channel to the

same loudness level.

Level adjustment and surround channel level

expectation

Even though you may adjust the surround channels

to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you

might find that surround channels seem quieter

for actual TV and Movie content.

This is because

producers use surround for subtle atmospherics

and ambience, and only rarely for special effects.

Subwoofer


Note: Center speaker provided with this

unit is magnetically shielded to protect

your TV set. It is not recommended to place

the front speakers, surround speakers and

subwoofer near the TV set.

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 slightly

behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not

ahead of them.

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.
