Connections  
This section involves various methods of connecting the AV receiver to other external components.  
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.  
SPEAKER POSITIONING  
There are two methods for positioning the speakers.  
When using Dolby Pro Logic IIz, place the Surround Back Speakers in the FHL, FHR position and connect them to  
SURROUND BACK/ FRONT HEIGHT Jack.

Position of AV Receiver  
Place the AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.  
Subwoofer  
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.  
Front Speakers  
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.  
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ears.  
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly  
in front of the center speaker.  
Center speaker  
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.  
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.  
16  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Surround Speakers  
Place these speakers behind your listening position.  
If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.  
Place them about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90cm) above your ears, facing slightly downward.  
Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects  
and sound will not come from them all the time.  
SBL SBR  
Surround Back Speakers  
If you are using two rear center speakers, place them behind the listening position.  
Place the surround back speaker about 2.3-3.3 feet (70 cm to 1 m).  
FHL FHR  
Front Height Speakers  
(Using Dolby Pro Logic IIz)  
When using Dolby Pro Logic IIz, place the Surround Back Speakers on the FHL, FHR position above the  
front L and front R speakers at least 3.3 feet(1 m) above each one.  
When you attach the speakers to the wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.  
M
Speaker Configuration  
For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.  
7 speakers 7 speakers  
2 speakers 3 speakers 4 speakers 5 speakers  
(DPL IIx)

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for powerful and solid bass.  
If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic field generated  
by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

If you want to use two active subwoofer speakers, connect both subwoofer speakers into the SUBWOOFER OUT terminals  
in the rear panel.  
When using Dolby Pro Logic IIz, connect the Surround Back Speakers (FHL, FHR) to SURROUND BACK/FRONT HEIGHT  
Jack.

Connecting Speaker Wire  
1. Loosen the knob by turning counterclockwise.  
2. Insert the bare part of the wire into the hole in the side of each  
terminal.  
3. Tighten the knob by turning clockwise to secure the wire.  
Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children to prevent them from inserting their hands or objects  
into the duct (hole).  
M
Never touch speaker terminals while the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shock.  
Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are correct.

CONNECTING THE Bi-AMP SPEAKER  
Connect the tweeter (high range) port and woofer (low range) to the front port and surround back speaker port  
respectively as appropriate. Then, you can use the bi-amplification feature that supports enriched high range and  
base tones.  
1. Connect the FRONT L connector (rear side of main unit) to the Tweeter port in the front left speaker.  
2. Connect the FRONT R connector (rear side of main unit) to the Tweeter port in the front right speaker.  
3. Connect the SURROUND BACK L connector (rear side of main unit) to the Woofer port in the front left speaker.  
4. Connect the SURROUND BACK R connector (rear side of main unit) to the Woofer port in the front right  
speaker.

J
With the Bi-amp feature, you can use up to 5.1 channels for speaker output in the main unit.  
If Bi-amp is active, you may encounter a restricted access if you have not removed the shorting bar (like a  
jumper) in both tweeter and subwoofer ports in the front speaker.  
Before you can use bi-amp, ensure that you use a speaker that supports bi-amplifying.

originally created in the digital source.  
By connecting through the HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) interface, you can play back digital video and audio.
