Glossary
Dolby Atmos
This unit supports playback in the Dolby Atmos format which provides 360e sound placement. Unlike existing
surround systems, Dolby Atmos doesn't rely on channels, but rather enables the accurate placement of sound
objects that have independent motion in a three-dimensional space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is an
optional audio format on Blu-ray Discs and achieves a three-dimensional sound field by introducing a sound field
above the listener.
ARC
The ARC (Audio Return Channel) 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. (
Ä
P11)
HDMI CEC functionality
Control features such as linking input switching with the input selector and players conforming to the CEC
standard, switching audio output and volume using the remote controller of a CEC-compliant TV, and
automatically switching this unit to standby when the TV is turned off (
Ä
P13)
HDMI Standby Through
Video and audio signals from AV components can be transmitted to the TV even if this unit is in standby (
Ä
P13)
CAUTION: Connect speakers with 4 Ω to 16 Ω impedance. The power cord must be connected only after
all other cable connections are completed. We will not accept responsibility for damage arising from the
connection of equipment manufactured by other companies.

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.
Surround back speakers improve the sense of
envelopment created by the back sound field and provide
a more realistic 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.
0If you are including surround back speakers in the
setup, surround speakers are required.
