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.

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 speaker. -8- Basic Playback Operations Positioning speakers 3 1 2 1 3 4 Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Front speaker placement For best results, follow the speaker placement below. Alignment Align the centre 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. Centre In surround mode, the centre 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 centre speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set. A Note: Front, Centre speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set. It is not recommended to place the surround speakers or subwoofer near the TV set. B -9- The Info Menu 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. Overview of Controls - Front Panel Controls Open and close the disc tray.
