Loading the batteries
The batteries included with the unit are to check initial
operations; they may not last over a long period. We
recommend using alkaline batteries that have a longer life.
WARNING
•
Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other
excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a heater.
This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch
fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.
CAUTION
•
Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as
leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:
-
Never use new and old batteries together.
-
Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries properly
according to the marks in the battery case.
-
Batteries with the same shape may have different
voltages. Do not use different batteries together.
-
When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.
-
When inserting the batteries, make sure not to damage
the springs on the battery’s (–) terminals. This can cause

Connecting your equipment
Placing the speakers
By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right
surround speakers (SL/SR), and the subwoofer (SW), a 5.1 ch surround system can be enjoyed.
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.
If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2
terminal. Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful
sound reproduction.
In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.
Hints on the speaker placement
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The
following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.
•
The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-
level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer),
or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.
•
For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal distance from
the TV.
•
If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the
speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV.
•
If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them
at a narrower angle.
•
Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is
localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed
by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.
•
It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size
of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.
•
Surround speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and titled
slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the
speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback.
•
Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front
and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
CAUTION
•
Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but
also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or
falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

Connecting the speakers
The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front
speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is
recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround
sound.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R)
terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on
the receiver match those on the speakers.
You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6
and 16 .
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit
to the AC power source.
Bare wire connections

CAUTION
•
These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage.
To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or
disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power
cord before touching any uninsulated parts.
•
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together
and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the
bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the
power to cut off as a safety measure.

Wait for the test tones to finish.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the
receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers
present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while
it’s doing this.
•
For correct speaker settings, do not adjust the volume

identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end
up with different size settings. You can correct the setting
manually using the
Speaker Setting
on page 52.
•
The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the
actual distance from the listening position. This setting
should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics
into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
Other problems when using the Auto MCACC
setup
If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC
setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls,
obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the
final settings may be incorrect. Check for household
appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be
affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. If
there are any instructions showing in the front panel display,

equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology (such as a
metal door, concrete wall, or insulation containing tinfoil),
you may need to change the location of your system to
prevent signal noise and interruptions.
Scope of operation
Use of this unit is limited to home use. (Transmission
distances may be reduced depending on communication
environment).
In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive
radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped:
•
In reinforced concrete buildings or steel framed or iron-
framed buildings.
•
Near large metallic furniture.
•
In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.
•
In a location exposed to the magnetic field, static electricity
or radio wave interference from radio communication

to hear.
4
Press
ENTER
to search for the program type.

mode), this unit equalizes playback sound levels if each sound
level varies with the music source recorded in a portable
audio player.
When you select STEREO, you will hear the source through
just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your
subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Dolby Digital
and DTS multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.
The following modes provide basic surround sound for stereo
and multichannel sources.
a. You can also adjust the C.WIDTH, DIMEN., and PNRM. effect
(see
Setting the Audio options on page 39).
b. You can also adjust the C.IMG effect (see Setting the Audio
options on page 39).

Using the Advanced surround
The Advanced surround feature creates a variety of surround
effects. Try different modes with various soundtracks to see
which you like.
Note
•
During ECO mode, the brightness switches between 2
levels. If the dimmest level is selected, DIMMER will be
shown on the display. (Mode other than ECO: 4 levels, ECO
mode: 2 levels)
•
ECO MODE will switch OFF automatically when switched
to other listening modes (Advanced surround mode and
Auto surround mode).
Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the
truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary
signal processing is bypassed.
Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the compression
process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound
image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP
technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to
compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure
and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
(see
Setting the Audio options
on page 39).

a. The default setting when the iPod/USB, ADAPTER,

b. This setting works only with dual mono encoded Dolby Digital
and DTS soundtracks.
c. The initial set AUTO is only available for Dolby TrueHD signals.
Select MAX or MID for signals other than Dolby TrueHD.
d. You shouldn’t have any problems using this with most SACD
discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain
setting back to 0 dB.
e. This feature is only available when the connected display
supports the automatic audio/video synchronizing capability
(‘lip-sync’) for HDMI. If you find the automatically set delay time
unsuitable, set A.DLY to OFF and adjust the delay time
manually. For more details about the lip-sync feature of your
display, contact the manufacturer directly.
f. Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper
sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’, they crest
and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity
and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a
trough, then the sound will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable
sound image will be produced.
If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus
(+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually feel when
Phase Control is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type
of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer to maximize the effect.
It is also recommended you try changing the orientation or the
place of your subwoofer.
Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to OFF.
If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff
frequency to a higher value.
If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a
maximized Phase Control effect.
The Phase Control mode cannot be set to ON in the following
cases:
– When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.
– When the headphones are connected.

Listening to Internet radio stations
Internet radio is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via
the Internet. There are a large number of Internet radio
stations broadcasting a variety of services from every corner
of the world. Some are hosted, managed, and broadcast by
private individuals while others are by the corresponding
traditional terrestrial radio stations or radio networks.
Whereas terrestrial, or OTA (over-the-air), radio stations are
geographically restricted on the range of radio waves
broadcast from a transmitter through the air, Internet radio
stations are accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as
there is a connection to the Internet, as services are not
transmitted through the air but are delivered over the World
Wide Web. On this receiver you can select Internet radio
stations by genre as well as by region.
Depending on the Internet line conditions, the sound may not
be smooth when playing Internet radio.
About list of Internet radio
The list of Internet radio stations on this receiver is created,
edited, and managed by the vTuner database service
exclusively for use with this receiver. For details about vTuner,
see
vTuner
on page 49.
Saving and retrieving Internet radio stations
You can easily save and retrieve saved Internet radio stations.
See
Playing back your favorite songs
on page 44 for more on
this.
•
To listen to Internet radio stations, you must have high-
speed broadband Internet access. With a 56 K or ISDN
modem, you may not enjoy the full benefits of Internet
radio.
•
The port number varies depending on the Internet radio
station. Check the firewall settings.
•
A list of Internet radio stations provided by the vTuner
database service is subject to change or deletion without

Manual speaker setup
This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize
the surround sound performance. You only need to make
these settings once (unless you change the placement of your
current speaker system or add new speakers).
These settings are designed to fine-tune your system, but if
you’re satisfied with the settings made in
Automatically
setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 24, it isn’t
necessary to make all of these settings.
Speaker Setting
Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration (size,
number of speakers). It is a good idea to make sure that the
settings made in
Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC) on page 24 are correct.
1
Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.
2

frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a
subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to
the subwoofer.
•
Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces
bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you

Surr – Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce
bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you
didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of
the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).
•
Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of
channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer
when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS
setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound
continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass
frequencies that would normally come out the front and
center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did
not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies
are output from other speakers).
4
When you’re finished, press
RETURN
.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
•
If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer
will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center and
surround can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set
to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the
subwoofer.
•
If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem
logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS
for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best
bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your
room you may actually experience a decrease in the
amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In this
case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If
you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with
it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE
and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which
sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option
is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting
SMALL for the front speakers.
X.Over
•
Default setting: 100Hz
This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing
back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer,
and bass sounds playing back from those selected as SMALL.
It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the
LFE channel.
•
For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker Setting
on page 52.
1
Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.

power off, then turn the power back on.
Check that the IP addresses of the receiver and wireless LAN
converter match the settings of the wireless LAN router, etc. If
the receiver’s Network Modes is STATIC, set an IP address
matching the network of the base unit (wireless LAN router,
etc.).
For example, if the wireless LAN router’s IP address is
“192.168.1.1”, set the receiver’s IP address to “192.168.1.XXX”
(*1), the subnet mask to “255.255.255.0”, the gateway and DNS
to “192.168.1.1”.
Next, set the wireless LAN converter’s IP address to
“192.168.1.249” (*2).
(*1) Set the “XXX” in “192.168.1.XXX” to a number between 2
and 248 that is not assigned to other devices.
(*2) Set the “249” in “192.168.1.249” to a number between 2
and 249 that is not assigned to other devices.
Try making the wireless LAN converter’s advanced settings.
The wireless LAN converter can be connected to a computer to
make the advanced wireless LAN settings. For details, see the
CD-ROM included for the wireless LAN converter. Check the
settings of the wireless LAN router, etc., then change the
settings of the wireless LAN converter.
Note, however, that making the advanced wireless LAN
settings will not necessarily improve the wireless LAN
environment. Be careful when changing the settings.
The access point is set to conceal the SSID. In this case, the
SSID may not be displayed on the access point list screen. If

not, set the SSID, etc., by making the wireless LAN converter
settings on the receiver manually.
The access point’s security settings use WEP 152-bit length
code key or shared key authentication. The receiver does not
support WEP 152-bit length code key or shared key
authentication.
Network connections cannot be established even when the
above measures are taken. Reset the wireless LAN converter.
After this, redo the wireless LAN converter’s settings.

procedure is completed.
HDMI
No picture or sound.
If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI
component directly to your monitor, please consult the
component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for
support.
No picture.
Video signals that are input from the analog video terminal will
not output from the HDMI terminal. Signals that are input from
the HDMI terminal will not output from the analog video
terminal. Be consistent with the type of cable between input
and output.
Depending in the output settings of the source component, it
may be outputting a video format that can’t be displayed.
Change the output settings of the source, or connect using the
composite video jacks.
This receiver is HDCP-compatible. Check that the components
you are connecting are also HDCP-compatible. If they are not,
please connect them using the composite video jacks.
Depending on the connected source component, it’s possible
that it will not work with this receiver (even if it is HDCP-
compatible). In this case, connect using the composite video
jacks between source and receiver.
If video images do not appear on your TV, try adjusting the
resolution, Deep Color or other setting for your component.
To output signals in Deep Color, use an HDMI cable (High
Speed HDMI
®/
™ Cable) to connect this receiver to a
component or TV with the Deep Color feature.
No sound, or sound suddenly ceases.
Check that the HDMI setting is set to AMP (page 39).
If the component is a DVI device, use a separate connection for
the audio.
HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time
to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may
occur when switching between audio formats or beginning
playback.
Turning on/off the device connected to this unit’s HDMI OUT
terminal during playback, or disconnecting/connecting the
HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted
audio.
Synchronized operation not possible using Control with
HDMI function.
Check the HDMI connections.
The cable may be damaged.
Select ON for the Control with HDMI setting (see HDMI Setup
on page 56).
Turn the TV’s power on before turning on this receiver’s power.
Set the TV side Control with HDMI setting to on (see TV’s
operating instructions).
Important information regarding the HDMI
connection
There are cases where you may not be able to route HDMI
signals through this receiver (this depends on the HDMI
equipped component you are connecting-check with the
manufacturer for HDMI compatibility information).
If you aren’t receiving HDMI signals properly through this
receiver (from your component), please try the following
configuration when connecting up.
Configuration
Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the
display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most convenient
connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the
receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio
connections. Set the display volume to minimum when using
this configuration.
Note
•
Depending on the component, audio output may be limited
to the number of channels available from the connected
display unit (for example audio output is reduced to 2
channels for a monitor with stereo audio limitations).
•
If you want to switch the input source, you’ll have to switch
functions on both the receiver and your display unit.
•
Since the sound is muted on the display when using the
HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the
display every time you switch input sources.
