Notes regarding connections with HDMI cables
HDMI (High-Denition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface standard for
connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc players, game consoles, and other
video components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital
video, and digital audio.
Connections
Push HDMI cables straight in and all the way. You can damage the terminals if
you try to insert at an angle.
Correct
Incorrect
Correct Incorrect
Hold the terminal housing on the HDMI cable when unplugging. Pulling on the
cable may lead to damaged cabling.
(Note) Placement of cables
Putting a load on HDMI cables can lead to poor operational performance. Place
the cables so there is no load put on them.
Correct Incorrect Incorrect
When 4K high-quality video (4K 120 Hz, etc.) or 8K high-quality video (8K
60 Hz, etc.) is to be played, use ULTRA High Speed HDMI Cable that has the
"ULTRA HIGH SPEED" label attached to the packaging.

To ARC/eARC TV
If the TV supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function(*), use only the
HDMI cable to connect with the TV. Use the ARC-compatible HDMI IN jack of
the TV for connection. You connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack
labeled "ARC" on the receiver side.
When a TV compatible with the eARC function is connected, use an HDMI
cable that supports Ethernet.
To Non-ARC TV
If the TV does not support the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function(*), connect
an HDMI cable and digital optical cable. If the TV does not have a DIGITAL
OPTICAL OUT jack, you can use an analog audio cable to connect with the
AUDIO IN TV jack.
If you use a cable set-top box, etc. connected to the input jack of this unit to
watch TV (without using a TVs built-in tuner), connection with a digital optical
cable or analog audio cable is not required.
Setup
When not using the ARC function, press SETUP on the remote controller,
then set "Hardware" - "HDMI" - "Audio Return Channel (eARC supported)"
( p122) to "O󰀨".
(*)The ARC function and eARC function transmit the audio signals of the TV via
an HDMI cable, and plays the audio of the TV on this unit. To check if the TV

Connecting a Blu-ray/DVD Disc player without HDMI Jack Mounted
This is a connection example of an AV component unequipped with an HDMI
jack. Select cables that match the jacks of the AV component for connection. For
example, when video input is connected to the BD/DVD jack, connect the audio
input to BD/DVD jack, too. Thus, video input jacks and audio input jacks should
have the same name for connection. Note that video signals input to the VIDEO
IN jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jack are converted to HDMI video
signals, and then output from the HDMI OUT jack.
To enjoy digital surround playback in formats such as Dolby Digital, you need
to make a connection for audio signals with a digital coaxial cable or a digital
optical cable.
In the diagram example, when you change the allocation ( p107) of the
AUDIO IN terminals, you can also connect to any terminal other than BD/
DVD.
Note
The COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks are compatible only with 480i or 576i
resolution. When connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks, set the
output resolution of the player to 480i or 576i. If there is no option such as
480i, select interlace. If your player does not support 480i or 576i output, use
the VIDEO IN jack.
To enjoy digital surround sound including Dolby Digital, set the audio output of

THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology mounted on THX Ultra
and THX Select-certied receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater
audience can experience the rich details of surround sound at any volume
level.
If the volume is turned down below the reference level, elements of sound in a
certain range are lost or the sound is perceived di󰀨erently by the listener.
THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur
when the volume level is reduced, by intelligently adjusting the levels of the
surround channels and their frequency response in the environment.
This enables users to experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of
the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening
in any THX listening mode. In the newly developed THX Cinema, THX Music
and THX Games modes, the optimum THX Loudness Plus setting is applied

Dirac Live
®
is an advanced room correction technology developed by Dirac
Research. As one of the most advanced room correction technology available
on the market, Dirac Live helps listeners to correct for one of the weakest
components in the audio chain: the listening room. Dirac Live not only corrects
the frequency response, but also the impulse response of the loudspeakers in a
room, yielding improved imaging and timbre, better clarity, tighter bass, and less
early reections, as well as reduced resonances and room modes.

"Quick Measurement": Set up the microphone at ear height in the listening
position for measurement. Next measure by setting up the microphone
between 50 and 100 cm (20" and 40") away to the left and right of the
listening position.
"Full Measurement": Set up the microphone at ear height in the listening
position for measurement. Next, measure in 8 positions to the front, back,

Dirac Live
Dirac Live
®
is an advanced room correction technology developed by Dirac
Research. As one of the most advanced room correction technology available
on the market, Dirac Live helps listeners to correct for one of the weakest
components in the audio chain: the listening room. Dirac Live not only corrects
the frequency response, but also the impulse response of the loudspeakers in a
room, yielding improved imaging and timbre, better clarity, tighter bass, and less
early reections, as well as reduced resonances and room modes.
Additional Functions
Dirac Live Bass Control
Dirac Live Bass Control is a technology to manage low-frequency channel
routing from the signal to the playback channels (speakers) of your audio
device. Additionally, with full control over the device’s channel and frequency
routing and output, the Dirac Live room correction technology is signicantly
augmented. In particular systems with multiple subwoofers will see a
substantially improved room correction and bass performance.
To use Dirac Live Bass Control, you need to register with Dirac Live and obtain
a Dirac Live Bass Control license. For more information, see the Dirac Live
website.

Troubleshooting
Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/o󰀨 or disconnecting/
connecting the power cord, which is easier than working on the connection,
setting and operating procedure. Try the simple measures on both the unit and
the connected device. If the problem is that the video or audio is not output or
the HDMI linked operation does not work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI
cable may solve it. When reconnecting, be careful not to wind the HDMI cable
since if wound the HDMI cable may not t well. After reconnecting, turn o󰀨 and
on the unit and the connected device.
The AV receiver contains a microPC for signal processing and control
functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external
source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that
this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 5
seconds, and then plug it back in.
Our company is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to
unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record
important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

Determining the fault: The left or right speakers
produce no sound
There is no setting on this unit to turn o󰀨 the audio of either the left or right
speaker.
If sound is only coming from one of the speakers, there may be a problem with
the connections of the speaker cables, or there may be a fault with the main unit
or the speaker.
Use the following procedure to check whether there is a fault.
1. Turn o󰀨 the unit and unplug the power cord.
2. Swap the left and right speakers to check what happens with the output.
*If swapping the left and right speakers is di󰀩cult, disconnect the speaker
cables connected to the speakers and swap the cables with each other to see
what happens.
No sound is output from the speaker from which no sound was output
before swapping left and right
There is either a fault with the speaker or a problem with the connections of
the speaker cables.
Sound is now output from the speaker from which no sound was
output before swapping left and right, and no sound is output from the
speaker that was outputting sound
There is probably a fault with the main unit or a bad connection with the
speaker cables.
Determining the fault: The subwoofer produces no

either this unit or the subwoofer.
There is a test tone
The following causes are possible:
A subwoofer element (LFE) is not included in the input signal.
The front speakers are set to "Full Band". When set to "Full Band", then
during 2ch input such as from the TV or music, the low range elements
will be output from the front speakers rather than from the subwoofer. To
output the sound from the subwoofer, make one of the following settings.
1. Change the setting for the front speakers to a setting of crossover
frequency value other than “Full Band.
The range below the specied frequency will be output from the subwoofer
instead of from the front speakers. If your front speakers have a high low-
range reproduction capability, changing this setting is not recommended.
2. Change “Double Bass” to “On”.
The low range elements of the front speakers will be output from both the
front speakers and the subwoofer. Due to this, the bass sound may be
emphasized too much. In such a case, do not change the setting, or make
the setting with the above option 1.
For the setting details, refer to “Speaker” - “Crossover” on the Setup menu.

Troubleshooting
Determining the fault: Does not turn on
First check if the HYBRID STANDBY indicator on the main unit is on.
The HYBRID STANDBY indicator lights just by plugging the unit in, so if it does
not light with the unit plugged in, there is probably a fault.
If the model you have has an AC inlet that enables the power cord to be
unplugged from the unit, unplug it and then use a small amount of force to
plug it back in again.
If the unit does not turn on even though the HYBRID STANDBY indicator is on,
the protection circuit may have tripped.
The protection circuit trips when there is a fault with the main unit, but it also
trips when there is a bad speaker cable connection. Try disconnecting all
speaker cables and see if the unit turns on.

In alphabetical order
AllCh Stereo
This mode is ideal for background music. Stereo sound is played through the
surround speakers as well as the front speakers, creating a stereo image.
Atmos
Since this mode calculates the positional data of audio recorded in Dolby Atmos
audio in real-time and outputs it from appropriate speakers, you can enjoy the
natural and stereophonic sound eld of Dolby Atmos with any speaker layout
including connection of only front speakers. Also, the Dolby Atmos sound design
can be reproduced more faithfully by connecting surround back speakers or
height speakers. You can select this mode when inputting the Dolby Atmos
audio format.
Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos does not rely on channels, but
rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have independent
motion in a 3D space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is an optional
audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more stereophonic sound eld by
introducing a sound eld above the listener.
According to the speaker layout, the following listening modes are displayed.
Atmos 2.0/2.1: When only front speakers are installed
Atmos 3.0/3.1: When front speakers and center speaker are installed

THX
THX is a series of specications for the accurate reproduction of movies
propounded by the lm director George Lucas. THX listening modes include
the THX Cinema mode, etc. Using technology such as THX Loudness Plus and
Timbre Matching, the sound of a movie theater is reproduced accurately.
The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.
THX technology:
A movie soundtrack is mixed in a large-scale theater specially made for mixing
that is called a dubbing stage on the assumption that the soundtrack is played
in such theaters with similar equipment and conditions. These soundtracks
are recorded as is, even when recording to a DVD-Video, for example, without
making any modications to suit a home theater environment. THX technology
is able to reproduce the movie theater sound accurately in a home theater
environment by minimizing acoustic and spatial deviation.
THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology mounted on THX Ultra
and THX Select-certied AV receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater
audience can experience the rich details of surround sound at any volume level.
If the volume is turned down below the reference level, elements of sound in a
certain range are lost, or the sound is perceived di󰀨erently by audience. THX
Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the
volume is reduced, by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels
and frequency response.
Re-EQ
The speakers for the front channel in a movie theater are installed behind
the screen. For this reason the high range is enhanced in the sound track of
the front channel in view of acoustic characteristics such as the necessity to
penetrate the screen. Re-EQ adjusts the soundtrack with the enhanced high
range to make it suitable for a home theater.
Timbre Matching
The perception of human ears di󰀨ers depending on the sound direction. Movie
theaters have many surround speakers installed, so they are excellent at
surrounding the viewers with natural sound, but home theaters have only two
surround speakers installed. The Timbre Matching function lters the signals
sent to the surround speakers, and adjusts the tonal characteristics of front
speakers and surround speakers to create smooth sound movement from front
background

Appendix
speakers to surround speakers.
Adaptive Decorrelation
While movie theaters have many surround speakers to enable the experience
where viewers are surrounded with sound, home theaters normally have only
two surround speakers. Such two surround speakers give a headphone-like
sound, which is not a broad and embracing surround sound. If a listener moves
away from the middle position between the surround speakers, the sound from
the surround speakers is absorbed into the sound from the nearby speakers,
and cannot be distinguished any more. Adaptive Decorrelation changes the time
axis and phase between the surround channels so that you can enjoy the same
spatial sound with two surround speakers as in a movie theater.
ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)
ASA is a technology patented by THX to provide a broad surround sound
experience by adjusting the sounds of two surround speakers on the sides and
two surround speakers at the back. When installing the surround back speakers,
be sure to select the distance between the two surround back speakers in the
THX Audio settings. This setting optimizes the surround sound environment.
THX listening modes:
THX Cinema: Use this mode in a home theater environment to play the
soundtrack that was recorded on the assumption that it is played in a movie
theater or similar large area. In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is set to the
theater level, and Re-EQ, Timbre Matching and Adaptive Decorrelation are all
enabled.
THX Games: Use this mode for high-delity spatial reproduction of game
sound. THX Loudness Plus is set to a level suited to the audio level of the
game, and Timbre Matching is enabled.
THX Music: This mode mainly adjusts the playback of music sources that are
mastered to a much higher quality obviously than movie audio. In this mode,
THX Loudness Plus is set to a level suited to the playback of music, and
Timbre Matching is enabled.
THX Sel Cin (THX Select Cinema): The THX Select Cinema mode provides
a high-quality surround sound experience by expanding movie sources
recorded in 5.1 ch for 7.1 ch playback. In this mode, the THX ASA processing
technology gives smooth transition between side and back surround sounds,
creating the best atmosphere and directional sense of surround sound.
THX Sel Gam (THX Select Games): Select the THX Select Games mode
to play game sound recorded in a multichannel format. In this mode, the
THX ASA processing technology enables the playback of game sound in a
360-degree sound eld which was recorded in PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and
other 5.1 ch formats.
THX Sel Mus (THX Select Music): Select THX Select Music to play music
sources recorded in a multichannel format. In this mode, the THX ASA
processing technology creates a broad and stable back sound eld when
playing music sources recorded in 5.1 ch, such as DTS, Dolby Digital, and
DVD-Audio.
TV Logic
Suitable for TV shows produced in a TV studio. This mode gives clarity to voices
by enhancing the entire surround sounds, and creates a realistic acoustic image.
The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.
