Connecting to your TV (Analog Video)
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 defi nition
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 Defi nition Multimedia
Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and
uncompressed 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.
Notes:
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected TV
as well.
• When using HDMI cable, do not connect to
other analog video outputs.
Connecting AUDIO from external
sources such as TV (Aux In)
Using LINE IN jack
Connect the Ø3.5mm LINE IN jack on the front
panel of the unit to the headphone output on
mp3 players.
Using AUX IN jacks
Connect the AUX IN jacks on rear of the unit to the
AUDIO OUT jacks on VCR, TV, Set Top Box or other
component.
Press either SOURCE on the main unit or LINE-IN/
AUX on the remote control to toggle select AUX
IN mode.
Using Digital Optical Input (recommended)
Connect components capable of outputting
Dolby Digital surround sound (e.g. TV or Set Top
Box) or standard PCM (CD) format digital signals.
Use a fi ber optical cable for this digital audio
connection (cable not included).
Press OPTICAL button on remote control or
SOURCE button on main unit to select OPTICAL
for digital audio output components.
Notes
• Ø3.5mm to Ø3.5mm audio cables (not included)
are required.
• To listen to the audio input from the connected
component, press SOURCE on the main unit or
LINE-IN / AUX on the remote control to toggle to
LINE IN mode.
Suggest using Ø3.5mm LINE IN
jack for mp3 player and rear AUX
IN jacks for equipment such as a
TV, VCR, Satellite or Cable Box.
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 amplifi er.

(2) Press the VOL+/VOL- buttons to adjust the value up or down (between -10dB and +10dB).
(3) Repeat step (1) and (2) for the other speakers FR, SL, SR, CT, SW.
Speaker gains may be set to levels of up to +10dB, actual max levels may also depend on your Volume Setting.
Note:
Insert 2 “AAA”(“UM-4”/”R03”) batteries
to the remote control prior to use.
1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound
eff ects.
2. Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most
of the dialog as well as music and eff ects.
It should be set between the left and right peakers.
3. Surround (Rear Speakers)
The surround speakers’ overall sound balance
should be as close as possible to the front peakers.
Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly
distributed sound fi eld.
4. Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass eff ects (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.

Things to consider before you connect
• Ensure that the mains supply in your house
complies with that indicated on the identifi cation
sticker located on the back of your unit.
• Install your unit horizontally, away from
any source of heat (fi replace) or appliances
creating strong magnetic or electric fi elds. 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 fi lled 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.

Video Cable One external AM
loop antenna
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
eff ects.
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 fl oor, or preferably, a few
feet off the fl oor 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 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
might fi nd 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 eff ects.
