Page 19: Before Using The Av Receiver
Before Using the AV receiver Setting the Voltage Selector (on some models) Some models have a voltage selector switch for compat- ibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area.
Page 20: Enjoying Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater Speaker Sets A and B You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B. Speaker set A should be used in your main listening room for up to 5.1-channel playback. *While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.
Page 21: Connecting Your Speakers
Connecting Your Speakers Speaker Connection Precautions Read the following before connecting your speakers: • You can connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the ampliﬁer at high volume lev- els for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
Page 22: Wall Mounting
Connecting Your Speakers—Continued Wall Mounting The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach two of the supplied thick rubber stoppers to the rear of each speaker. To mount the front or surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.
Page 23: Using The Rubber Stoppers For A More Stable Platform
Connecting Your Speakers—Continued Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable Platform We recommend using the provided rubber stoppers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, pro- viding a more stable platform. Use thick stoppers for the center speaker, and thin stoppers for the other speakers.
Page 24: Connecting Antenna
Connecting Antenna This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
Page 25: Connecting An Outdoor Fm Antenna
Connecting Antenna—Continued Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out- door FM antenna instead. Notes: • Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
Page 26: Connecting Your Components
Connecting Your Components About AV Connections • Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components. • Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections. Optical Digital Jacks The AV receiver’s optical digital jack has shutter-type cover that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed.

Connecting Your Components—Continued Connecting a DVD Player Step 1: Video Connection (DVD Player to AV Receiver to TV) If your TV has component video input jacks, connect your DVD player to the AV receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO DVD IN jacks. And connect the AV receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV. This will provide better picture quality than connection If your TV doesn’t have component video input jacks, connect your DVD player to the AV receiver’s DVD IN VIDEO jack.
Page 29 Connecting Your Components—Continued Step 2: Audio Connection If your DVD player has a coaxial digital audio output jack, connect it to the AV receiver’s DIGITAL IN COAX- IAL jack. You can enjoy Dolby and DTS listening modes with this connection. If your DVD player has an optical digital audio output jack instead of coaxial one, connect it to the AV receiver’s DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1 or 2 jack, and set the DIGITAL INPUT assignment to OPT1 or OPT 2 (see page 38).
