Connections

Connecting the TV and players

The power cord must be connected only after all other connections are completed.

HDMI cable connection

The unit has many HDMI jacks on its rear panel and each of them corresponds to an input selector button of the same name on the front panel. For example, a Blu-ray Disc player will be connected to the HDMI IN1 jack and the BD/DVD button on the front panel will be used to listen to the playback sound (if the player is CEC compliant, input will be switched automatically). If you add another Blu-ray Disc player, you can use any other jack than HDMI IN1. It is possible to change assignment of the input jacks and input selector buttons. For how to make settings, see the Advanced Manual.
To connect the TV and the unit, connect the HDMI OUT MAIN jack of the unit and the HDMI IN jack of the TV using an HDMI cable. With this connection, it becomes possible to display the setting screen of the unit on the TV or transmit video/audio signals from the player to the TV. If your TV supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), it is possible to play the TV sound with the AV receiver's speakers with this connection only. If your TV does not support ARC, you need, in addition to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack connection, a digital optical cable connection between the digital audio out optical jack of the TV and the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the unit or an analog audio cable connection between the audio output jack of the TV and the VIDEO/AUDIO IN TV/CD jack of the unit.

• Audio connection with a TV not supporting ARC
  

The unit supports the HDMI Through function that allows transmission from players to the TV even if the unit is in standby. You have to modify the settings to enable the input selection link with CEC compliant device, connection with ARC compatible TV, and HDMI Through function. See "2nd Step: Source Connection" of "Step 2: Setting Up".

• To enjoy HDCP2.2 protected video, connect the player to the HDMI IN3 jack and the TV to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack of the unit. Your player and TV need to support HDCP2.2.
• To play 4K or 1080p video, use the high speed HDMI cable.
• Another TV can be connected to the HDMI OUT SUB jack. To use the function to display the unit's setting screen on the TV, connect the TV to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack.
• It is possible to send video and audio of an MHL-enabled mobile device by connecting the MHL-enabled mobile device to the AUX INPUT HDMI/MHL jacks on the front panel.

Connecting Components without HDMI

If your AV component does not have HDMI jack, use an available jack of your component for cable connection with this unit. Just as the HDMI jacks, other jacks on this unit have a preassigned input selector button on the front panel. See the name of the input selector button shown with the jack when connecting the device.

• Audio signal connection
  1. Digital connection: Use a digital optical cable (OPTICAL) or digital coaxial cable (COAXIAL) for connection with a player.

     Digital coaxial cable (COAXIAL)
  2. Analog connection: Use an analog audio cable for connection with a player. To enjoy multi-zone playback of audio of a CD player or such other player without HDMI output jack, you need to use the RCA cable to connect the corresponding jacks of the player and this unit. For details on the multizone function, see the "Using the multi-zone function" of "Step 3: Playing Back".
     Analog audio (RCA) cable
  3. Connection with turntable: If it uses an MM type cartridge and does not have a built-in audio equalizer, connect it to the 3 PHONO jack. If the connected turntable has a built-in audio equalizer, connect it to the 2 TV/CD jack.
     * If it uses an MC type cartridge, install an audio equalizer compatible with MC type cartridge between the unit and the turntable by connecting it to the 2 TV/CD jack. For details, refer to the turntable's instruction manual.
     * If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND terminal of this unit. If connecting the ground wire increases noise, disconnect it.
• Video signal connection
  The unit has a video upconversion function. For details, see the next section.
  4. Use a component video cable to connect a TV with component video input jacks and a player with component video output jacks.
     Component video cable
     * Its transmitted video has higher quality than that of composite video cable.
  5. Use a composite video cable to connect a TV with composite video input jack or a player with composite video output jack.
     Composite video cable

Video signals input to the composite video input jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks will be upconverted to HDMI signals and then output from the HDMI output jack. Note that it is not possible to convert digital audio input signals to analog or vice versa.

* When you upconvert video signals input to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks and output them from the HDMI OUT jack, set the output resolution of the player to 480i or 576i. If the input has 480p/576p or higher resolution, a message prompting you to change the resolution setting will appear. If your player does not support 480i or 576i output, use the composite video jack.
* If multiple video signal inputs are put into one input system, the output will be made in the order of HDMI, COMPONENT VIDEO, and composite video.

Connecting speakers

Speaker layout

To enjoy the Dolby Atmos listening mode, Height speakers or Surround Back speakers need to be installed. The example above uses front Height speakers. As other types of Height speakers are also applicable, see the next page for details.

1 2 Front speakers
3 Center speakers
4 5 Surround speakers
6 Subwoofer
7 8 Surround back speakers
9 10 Height speakers

• 5.1 ch: 1 2 3 4 5 6
• 7.1 ch: 1 2 3 4 5 6 + 7 8 or 1 2 3 4 5 6 + 9 10
  7 8 and 9 10 share the same speaker terminals. Select either of the groups.
• To use the multi-zone function, see the "Using the multi-zone function" of "Step 3: Playing Back".

Characteristics of speaker types

1 2 output front stereo sound. 3 outputs center sounds such as dialogs and vocals. 4 5 create back sound field. 6 reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound field.
Connecting 7 8 speakers or 9 10 speakers enables playback in 7.1 ch configuration. 7 8 (surround back) speakers improve sense of envelopment created by back sound field as well as seamlessness of back sounds, providing more natural sound experiences in the sound field. 9 10 (height) speakers produce surround effects on a height plane. This unit performs optimal sound field processing for the type of the installed height speakers which is registered in initial settings (with setup wizard).

Instructions on how to connect speakers

Connect speakers with 4 Ω to 16 Ω impedance. You have to change the setting if any of the speakers have 4 Ω or more to less than 6 Ω impedance. You can set up by viewing the guidance displayed on the TV screen. Select the item with the cursor buttons of the remote controller and press ENTER to confirm your selection.
