System Installation
After unpacking the unit, and placing it
in on a solid surface capable of
supporting its weight, you will need to
make the connections to your audio and
video equipment. These steps need to be
done only when the receiver is first
installed, or when a change is made to
the input source equipment.
Audio Input and Output
Connections
Use the "Audio and Systems
Connections" Diagram in the inside front
cover as a guide to connecting audio
components and speakers to the rear
panel. We recommend that you use high
quality cables when making connections
to source equipment and recorders to
preserve the quality of the signals.
NOTE: When making connections to
audio source equipment or speakers it is
always a good practice to unplug the unit
from the AC wall plug. This prevents any
possibility of accidentally sending audio
or transient signals to the speakers that
may damage them.
1. For playback only sources, such as a
CD player, CD changer, external phono
preamp or external digital to analog
converter, connect the output jacks of the
player to the appropriately labeled inputs
on the rear panel.
©
NOTE: When the source device has both
fixed and variable audio outputs it is best
to use the fixed output unless you find
that the input to the receiver is so low
that the sound is noisy, or high that the
signal is distorted.

4. Connect an FM antenna to the
connection
FM (75 ohm)
antenna may be an external roof
antenna, an inside powered or wire lead
antenna, or a connection from a cable TV
system. Note that if the antenna or
connection uses 300 ohm twin lead cable,
you must use the 300 ohm to 75 ohm
adapter supplied with the unit to make
the connection.
5. Connect the front, center and surround
speaker outputs

respective speakers.
To assure that all the audio signals are
carried to your speakers without loss of
clarity or resolution, we suggest that you
use high quality speaker cable. Many
brands of cable are available, and the
choice of cable may be influenced by the
distance between your speakers and this
receiver, the type of speakers you use,
personal preferences and other factors.
Your dealer or installer is a valuable
resource to consult in selecting the proper
cable.
Regardless of the brand of cable selected,
IN
we recommend that you use a cable
constructed of fine, multi-strand copper
jacks
OUT
with a gauge of 14 or larger. Remember,
that in specifying cable, the lower the
number, the thicker the cable.
Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for
screw
GND
short runs of less than ten feet. We do not
recommend that you use cables with an
AWG equivalent of 18 or higher due to the
power loss and degradation in
performance that will occur.
Cables that are run inside walls should
have the appropriate markings to
indicate listing with appropriate testing
agency standards. Questions about
. The FM
running cables inside walls should be
å
referred to your installer or electrical
contractor.
When connecting wires to the speakers,
be certain to observe proper polarity.
Remember to connect the "negative" or
"black" wire to the same terminal on the
receiver and the speaker. Similarly, the
"positive" or "Red" wire should be
connected to the like terminal on the AVR
to the
70 and speaker.
NOTE: While most speaker
manufacturers adhere to an industry
convention of using black terminals for
negative and red ones for positive, some
manufacturers may vary from this
configuration. To assure proper phase,
and optimal performance, consult the
identification plate on your speaker, or
the speaker's manual to verify polarity. If
you do not know the polarity of your
speaker, ask your dealer for advice before
proceeding, or consult the speaker's
manufacturer.
