to the left and right sides of the main listening position. If you
don’t have Surround Back speakers, move the surround speakers
slightly behind your listening position.
SBL/SBR (SB) : Place the SURROUND BACK left and right speakers
an equal distance from the main listening position and
directly behind the main listening position. If you only
have one Surround Back speaker, center it.
FHL/FHR : Place the FRONT HEIGHT left and right speakers just outside
of the front left and right speakers. Mount them as close to the
ceiling as possible and aim them towards the main listening
position.
FWL/FWR : Place the FRONT WIDE left and right speakers outside of the
front left and right speakers so that there is an equal distance
between all front speakers.
SW : Place the SUBWOOFER at a convenient location near the front
speakers. If you have two subwoofers, place them symmetrically
across the front of your room.

Speaker connection
Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.
This section explains how to connect them using typical examples.
NOTE
•Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the
speakers. Also, turn o the subwoofer.
•Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker
terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear
panel or if the + and – sides touch each other (vpage218 “Protection circuit”).
•Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so
could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” is running, follow the
instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not
supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)
•Use speakers with an impedance of 6 – 16 Ω/ohms.
2Connecting the speaker cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be
sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel o about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of
sheathing from the tip of the speaker
cable, then either twist the core wire
tightly or terminate it.
2
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise
to loosen it.
3
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the
hilt into the speaker terminal.
4
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to
tighten it.

2About the Bi-amp connection
Some audiophile loudspeakers can be connected to an amplifier with two separate amp-to-speaker connections per each speaker. One amplifier
channel’s output is hooked up to the speaker’s bass driver (woofer), while the other amplifier drives the upper range transducers (tweeter, or in
some cases midrange and tweeter). This connection method has one amplifier channel driving one half of the bi-amp speaker, and avoids electrical
interference between the speaker’s bass and treble drivers and the driving amplifier channels. You can assign 4 amp channels to connect to one pair
of bi-amp capable speakers. Bi-amp capable speakers always have two sets of speaker input connector pairs, one for the bass range and one for
the treble range. If you’re unsure about whether or not your speakers are bi-amp capable, consult the owner’s manual that came with the speakers.
•For how to connect the front, center, and surround speaker and the subwoofer to this unit, see “Connecting 7.1-channel speakers using surround
back speakers” (vpage27).

Tips
I want the volume not to become too loud by mistake.
•Set the volume upper limit for “Volume Limit” in the menu beforehand. This prevents children or others from increasing the volume too much by
mistake. You can set this for each zone (vpage138, 173).
I want to keep the volume at the same level when I turn the power on.
•By default, the volume setting when power was previously set to standby is applied at next power on. To use a fixed volume level, set the volume level
at power on for “Volume Limit” in the menu. You can set this for each zone (vpage138, 173).
I want to have the subwoofer always output audio.
•Depending on the input signals and sound mode, the subwoofer may not output audio.
When “Subwoofer Mode” in the menu is set to “LFE+Main”, you can have the subwoofer always output audio (vpage167).
I want to make human voices in the movies clearer.
•Use “Dialog Level” in the menu to adjust the level (vpage133).
I want to keep bass and clarity during playback at a lower volume level.
•Set “Dynamic EQ” in the menu to “On”. This setting corrects the frequency characteristics to allow you to enjoy clear sound without the bass being
lost even during playback at a lower volume level (vpage139).
I want to automatically adjust the volume level dierence in content such as TV and movies.
•Set “Dynamic Volume” in the menu. Volume level changes (between quiet scenes and loud scenes) in TV shows or movies are automatically adjusted
to your desired level (vpage140).
I want to set the optimized listening environment after changing the configuration/position of the speakers or
changing a speaker to a new one.
•Perform Audyssey® Setup. This automatically makes the optimized speaker settings for the new listening environment (vpage153).

About HDMI
HDMI is an abbreviation of High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which is
an AV digital interface that can be connected to a TV or amplifier.
With the HDMI connection, high definition video and high quality audio
formats adopted by Blu-ray disc players (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD,
DTS-HD, DTS-HD Master Audio) can be transmitted, which is not possible
with the analog video transmission.
Furthermore, in the HDMI connection, audio and video signals can
be transmitted through a single HDMI cable, while in conventional
connections it is necessary to provide audio and video cables separately
for connection between devices.
This allows you to simplify the wiring configuration that tends to be quite
complex in a home theater system.
This unit supports the following HDMI functions.
•Deep Color
An imaging technology supported by HDMI. Unlike RGB or YCbCr, which
uses 8 bits (256 shades) per color, it can use 10 bits (1024 shades), 12
bits (4096 shades), or 16 bits (65536 shades) to produce colors in higher
definition. Both devices linked via HDMI must support Deep Color.
•“x.v.Color”
This function lets HDTVs display colors more accurately. It enables
display with natural, vivid colors.
“x.v.Color” is trademark of Sony Corporation.
•3D
This unit supports input and output of 3D (3 dimensional) video signals
of HDMI.
To play back 3D video, you need a TV and player that provide support for
the HDMI 3D function and a pair of 3D glasses.
•4K
This unit supports input and output of 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels)
video signals of HDMI.
•Content Type
It automatically makes settings suitable for the video output type
(content information).
•Adobe RGB color, Adobe YCC601 color
The color space defined by Adobe Systems Inc. Because it is a wider
color space than RGB, it can produce more vivid and natural images.
•sYCC601 color
Each of these color spaces defines a palette of available colors that is
larger than the traditional RGB color model.
•Auto Lip Sync
This function can automatically correct delay between the audio and
video.
Use a TV that is compatible with the Auto Lip Sync function.
•HDMI pass through
Even when the power to this unit is set to standby, signals input from
the HDMI input connector are output to a TV or other device that is
connected to the HDMI output connector.

•HDMI control
If you connect the unit and an HDMI control function compatible TV or
player with an HDMI cable and then enable the HDMI control function
setting on each device, the devices will be able to control each other.
•Power o link
This unit power o can be linked to the TV power o step.
•Audio output destination switching
From the TV, you can switch whether to output audio from the TV or
the AV amplifier.
•Volume adjustment
You can adjust this unit’s volume in the TV volume adjustment
operation.
•Input source switching
You can switch this unit input sources through linkage to TV input
switching.
When playing the player, this unit input source switches to the source
for that player.
•ARC (Audio Return Channel)
This function transmits audio signals from the TV to this unit through the
HDMI cable and plays back the audio from the TV on this unit based on
the HDMI control function.
If a TV without the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections,
video signals of the playback device connected to this unit are
transmitted to the TV, but this unit can not play back the audio from the
TV. If you want to enjoy surround audio for TV program, a separate audio
cable connection is required. In contrast, if a TV with the ARC function is
connected via HDMI connections, no audio cable connection is required.
Audio signals from the TV can be input to this unit through the HDMI
cable between this unit and the TV. This function allows you to enjoy
surround playback on this unit for the TV.

Copyright protection system
In order to play back digital video and audio such as BD-Video (Blu-ray
Disc) or DVD-Video via HDMI connection, both this unit and TV and the
player need to support the copyright protection system known as HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright
protection technology comprised of data encryption and authentication
of the connected AV devices. This unit supports HDCP.
•If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio
are not output correctly. Read the owner’s manual of your television or
player for more information.
%
•When connecting this unit to a device that is compatible with the Deep Color, 4K,
ARC function, use a “High Speed HDMI cable” or “High Speed HDMI cable with
Ethernet”.

Explanation of terms
A
AirPlay
AirPlay sends (plays) contents recorded in iTunes or on an iPhone/iPod
touch/iPad to a compatible device via the network.
ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec)
This is a codec for lossless audio compression method developed by
Apple Inc. This codec can be played back on iTunes, iPod or iPhone. Data
compressed to approximately 60 – 70 % can be decompressed to exactly
the same original data.
App Store
App Store is a site that sells application software for such devices as the
iPhone or iPod Touch, and is operated by Apple Inc.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®
Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume
is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ® XT to
provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion
(A-DSX)
Audyssey DSX® is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve
surround sound vividness.
Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX® first adds Wide channels for
the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing has
proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical
in the presentation of a realistic soundstage than the Back Surround
channels found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX® then creates a
pair of Height channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical
and perceptual cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels,
Audyssey DSX® applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the
blend between the front and surround channels.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume®
Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level
between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and
loud passages of movies. Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is integrated into
Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically,
the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and
dialog clarity remain the same.
Audyssey MultEQ® XT
MultEQ® XT is a room equalization solution that calibrates any audio
system so that it can achieve optimum performance for every listener in
a large listening area. Based on several room measurements, MultEQ®
XT calculates an equalization solution that corrects for both time and
frequency response problems in the listening area and also performs a
fully automated surround system setup.

A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL”, “FR” and “C”),
2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low
frequency eects.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic
sound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved. This delivers a thrilling surround
sound experience in the home.

compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also
improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It is
upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it oers greater
flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions of the
playback device.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to achieve
an excellent surround eect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create
a “three-dimensional” sound image oering a rich sense of presence for
all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic g
matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural
sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There are three modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema”
suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing
games.

Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment
through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with
stereo, 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides
enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video
and video game playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source
mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur naturally
in all content, directing this information to the front height channels,
complementing the performance of left and right surround sound
speakers. Content that is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel
information can be even more revealing, with perceptually discrete
height channel information bringing an exciting new dimension to home
entertainment.
Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is also an ideal alternative
for households that cannot support the placement of back surround
speakers of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have bookshelf space
available to support the addition of height speakers.
