Connect the surround back or front height
speakers
Connect the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs
of the unit and additional amplifier to add a surround back or
front height speaker.
The Pre Out setting must be set if the above connections
are performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround back
speaker is connected and Height if the front height
speaker is connected (If neither the surround back
speaker nor the front height speaker is connected, either
setting will suffice) (see The Pre Out Setting on page 39).
You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back
channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case
plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.
Switching the speaker terminal
Three speaker system settings are possible.
Use SP-AB button to select a speaker terminal setting.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker terminal option:
SP:A ON – Sound is output from the speakers connected
to the A-speaker terminals and PRE OUT SURR BACK/
FRONT HEIGHT (multichannel playback is possible).
SP:B ON
– Sound is output from the two speakers connected
to the B-speaker terminals (only stereo playback is possible).
SP:A+B ON – Sound is output from the A-speaker
terminals, the two speakers in the B-speaker terminals,
and the subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed
only when the STEREO or STEREO ALC mode is selected
for stereo output from A- and B-speaker terminals.
SP: OFFNo sound is output from the speakers.
Note
SP:B ON and SP:A+B ON can only be selected when the
Speaker System is set to Speaker B (see Speaker System
on page 36).
The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made
in Speaker Setting on page 37. However, if SP:B ON is
selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer
(the LFE channel is not downmixed).
All speaker terminals are switched off when headphones
are connected.
Making cable connections
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit (as
shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field
produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a
humming noise from the speakers.
Important
• Before making or changing connections, switch off the
power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into
standby.
HDMI cables
Both video and sound signals can be transmitted
simultaneously with one cable. If connecting the player and the
TV via this receiver, for both connections, use HDMI cables.
Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.
Note
• Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on
page 33 to THROUGH, if you want to hear HDMI audio
output from your TV (no sound will be heard from this
receiver).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try
adjusting the resolution settings on your component or
display. Note that some components (such as video game
units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this
case, use a (analog) composite connection.
• When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i
or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be
received.

Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD,
DTS-HD Master Audio (see below for limitations), Video CD/
Super VCD and CD.
This receiver incorporates High-Definition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI

properly.
• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is
connected, it may not operate properly.
• 3D, Deep Color, x.v.Color signal transfer and Audio
