Step1: Speaker Layout
Insta ll
7.1 Channel System
Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center
speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and vocals.
Surround speakers create back sound field. Powered
subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound
field.
This basic 5.1 Channel System with surround back
speakers added is called a 7.1 Channel System. The
connection of surround back speakers improves the sense
of envelopment and connectivity of sound created by the
back sound field and provides a more real sound field.
Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, you can
select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the
most up-to-date 3D sound, when the input format is Dolby
Atmos.
The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while
the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear
height. Center speaker should be set up facing the listening
position. Placing the powered subwoofer between the
center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural
sound even when playing music. The optimal positioning is
for surround back speakers to be at ear height.

Step2: Connect the Speakers
Standard Connections
Up to two powered subwoofers can be connected. The
same signal is output from each of the SUBWOOFER PRE
OUT jacks.
Make sure the exposed wires of the speakers
do not stick out of the speaker terminals when
connecting. If the exposed wires of the
speakers touch the rear panel or the + and –
wires touch each other, the protection circuit
will be activated.

Step3: Connect the TV & AV Components
1. Connect the TV
To ARC TV
For a TV that supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel)
(*1) feature, use an HDMI cable and connect according to
illustration "a". Choose an HDMI IN jack on the TV that
supports ARC when connecting.
To Non-ARC TV
For a TV that does not support the ARC (Audio Return
Channel) feature (*1), connect both the HDMI cable in
illustration "a" and the digital optical cable in "b". If the TV
doesn't have a DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jack, use an analog
audio cable and connect the TV's ANALOG AUDIO OUT
jack to the AUDIO IN TV jack on this unit.
0Connection with a digital optical cable is not necessary if
you will watch TV through a device such as a cable set-
top box (that is, not use a tuner built into the TV) that you
have connected to the input jack on this unit.
(*1) The ARC feature: This feature transfers TV audio
signals via HDMI cable so that you can play the audio
from the TV through this unit. Connection to an ARC
compatible TV is complete with one HDMI cable. Refer
to the instruction manual for your TV to see if it
supports ARC.
(*2) Another TV or projector can be connected to the HDMI
OUT SUB jack. Press Q (P6) on the remote control and
use "Other" - "HDMI Out" to switch between MAIN and
SUB. Note that this jack does not support ARC.

2. Connect the HDMI AV Component
This is an example of connection with an AV component
that has an HDMI jack. With connection to an AV
component that conforms with the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) standard, you can use features such as
the HDMI CEC feature (*) that links with the input selector,
and the HDMI Standby Through feature which allows you to
play video and audio from AV components on the TV even
when this unit is in standby mode.
0
To play 4K or 1080p video, use a high speed HDMI cable.
(*)The HDMI CEC feature: You can control features such
as linking input switching with the input selector and
players conforming to the CEC standard, switching audio
to output it from the TV or from this unit, and adjusting
the volume using the remote controller of a CEC-
compliant TV, and automatically switching this unit to
standby when the TV is turned off.
