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 off 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. (“Protection circuit” (v p. 255))

Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so

could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 8 in the separate

Applied configuration and connection

5.1-channel (bi-amp connection of front speaker)

This is a method of connecting separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals of bi-amp compatible speakers. This connection

enables back EMF (power returned without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a

higher sound quality.

(Bi-Amp)

When the menu “Dynamic EQ” setting is “On”, it is not possible to do “Tone

Control” adjustment. (v p. 106)

Reference Level Offset

Audyssey Dynamic EQ

is referenced to the standard film mix level. It

makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround

envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However,

film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film

content. Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets

from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be

selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

Recommended setting levels for content are shown below.

0 dB (Film Reference)

(Default):

Optimized for content such as

movies.

5 dB :

Select this setting for content that has

a very wide dynamic range, such as

classical music.

10 dB :

Select this setting for jazz or other

music that has a wider dynamic

range. This setting should also be

selected for TV content as that is

usually mixed at 10 dB below film

reference.

15 dB :

Select this setting for pop/rock music

or other program material that is

mixed at very high listening levels

and has a compressed dynamic

range.

Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “On”. (v p. 151)

Speakers

The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called

“Audyssey

Setup”.

You do not have to perform Audyssey

Setup when you have already performed “Speaker Calibration” in “Setup Assistant”.

To set up the speakers manually, use “Manual Setup” on the menu. (v p. 182)

Audyssey

Setup

To perform measurement, place the Sound calibration microphone in

multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results, we

recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the

illustration (up to eight positions).

When measuring the second and subsequent positions, install the Sound

calibration microphone within 60 cm of the first measurement position

(main listening position).

If you perform the Audyssey

Setup, the Audyssey MultEQ

About the main listening position

The main listening position is the position where listeners would

normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening

environment. Before starting Audyssey

Setup, place the Sound

calibration microphone in the main listening position.

Audyssey MultEQ

XT uses the measurements from this position to

calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover

value for the subwoofer.

NOTE

Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room

measurements. Close windows and turn off the power on electronic devices

(radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, etc.). The measurements could be

affected by the sounds emitted by such devices.

During the measurement process, place cell phones outside the listening room.

Cell phone signals could disrupt the measurements.

Do not stand between the speakers and Sound calibration microphone or allow

obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. Also, install the

Sound calibration microphone at least 50 cm away from the wall. Failure to do so

will result in inaccurate readings.

During the measurement process, audible test tones will come from the speakers

and subwoofer(s), but this is part of normal operation. If there is background noise

in the room, these test signals will increase in volume.

Operating VOLUME d f on the remote control unit or MASTER VOLUME on the

main unit during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected. Unplug the

headphones before performing Audyssey

Setup.

Tips

208

Front panel Display Rear panel Remote Index

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. (v p. 149, 199)

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 on this unit is applied at next power on with no change. To use a fixed volume

level, set the volume level at power on for “Power On Volume” in the menu. You can set this for each zone. (v p. 149, 199)

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. (v p. 187)

I want to make human voices in the movies clearer

Use “Dialog Level Adjust” in the menu to adjust the level. (v

p. 143)

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. (v p. 151)

I want to automatically adjust the volume level difference 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. (v p. 152)

Contents

Connections Playback Settings Tips Appendix

209

Front panel Display Rear panel Remote Index

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. (v p. 171)

I want to combine a desired video with the current music

Set “Video Select” in the option menu to “On”. You can combine the current music with your desired video source from Set-top Box or DVD, etc. while

listening to music from Tuner, CD or the Internet radio. (v p. 107)

I want to play back photos from Flickr at the same time while listening to the Internet radio

After playing back photos from Flickr, start the slide show on the Internet radio playback screen. (v p. 103)

I want to delete unused input sources

Set unused input sources for “Hide Sources” in the menu. This allows you to skip unused input sources when turning the SOURCE SELECT knob on

this unit. (v p. 169)

I want to enjoy the same music in all zones at the home party, etc.

Set “All Zone Stereo” in the option menu to “Start”. This allows you to simultaneously play back the music that is being played back in MAIN ZONE in

ZONE2. (v p. 109)

I want to minimize the delay in video signals when I’m playing a game on my game console

When the video is delayed against button operations with the controller on the game console, set “Video Mode” in the menu to “Game”. (v

p. 161)

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.

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.

This unit supports input and output of 4K (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 off link

This unit power off can be linked to the TV power off 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.

In order to play back digital video and audio such as BD video or DVD

video via HDMI connection, both this unit and the TV or player must 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 and

ARC functions, use a “High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet” that bears the HDMI

logo.

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 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.

surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low

frequency effects.

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.

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is

compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also
