Step1: Speaker Layout Install7.1 Channel System
Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and vocals. Surround speakers create back sound field. Powered subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound field. This basic 5.1 Channel System with surround back speakers added is called a 7.1 Channel System. The connection of surround back speakers improves the sense of envelopment and connectivity of sound created by the back sound field and provides a more real sound field. Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound, when the input format is Dolby Atmos. The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height. Center speaker should be set up facing the listening position. Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music. The optimal positioning is for surround back speakers to be at ear height.

Step3: Connect the TV & AV Components 1. Connect the TV To ARC TV
For a TV that supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) (*1) feature, use an HDMI cable and connect according to illustration "a". Choose an HDMI IN jack on the TV that supports ARC when connecting.
To Non-ARC TV
For a TV that does not support the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature (*1), connect both the HDMI cable in illustration "a" and the digital optical cable in "b". If the TV doesn't have a DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jack, use an analog audio cable and connect the TV's ANALOG AUDIO OUT jack to the AUDIO IN TV jack on this unit. 0 Connection with a digital optical cable is not necessary if
you will watch TV through a device such as a cable set- top box (that is, not use a tuner built into the TV) that you have connected to the input jack on this unit.
(*1) The ARC feature: This feature transfers TV audio signals via HDMI cable so that you can play the audio from the TV through this unit. Connection to an ARC compatible TV is complete with one HDMI cable. Refer to the instruction manual for your TV to see if it supports ARC.
(*2) Another TV or projector can be connected to the HDMI OUT SUB jack. Press Q (P6) on the remote control and use "Other" - "HDMI Out" to switch between MAIN and SUB. Note that this jack does not support ARC.

2. Connect the HDMI AV Component
This is an example of connection with an AV component that has an HDMI jack. With connection to an AV component that conforms with the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) standard, you can use features such as the HDMI CEC feature (*) that links with the input selector, and the HDMI Standby Through feature which allows you to play video and audio from AV components on the TV even when this unit is in standby mode. 0 To play 4K or 1080p video, use a high speed HDMI cable.
(*)The HDMI CEC feature: You can control features such as linking input switching with the input selector and players conforming to the CEC standard, switching audio to output it from the TV or from this unit, and adjusting the volume using the remote controller of a CEC- compliant TV, and automatically switching this unit to standby when the TV is turned off.

3. Connect the Non-HDMI AV Component
This is an example of connection with an AV component that does not have an HDMI jack. Make the connections to the AV component to match the jacks it has. When video input connection is to the BD/DVD jack, the audio input connection should also be to the BD/DVD jacks, and so on, so that you connect the video input jacks to the jacks with the same name as the audio input jacks. Note that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jack will be converted to HDMI video signals and then output from the HDMI OUT jack. 0 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. 0 It is possible to change assignment of the input jacks you
see in the illustration at left, so you can also connect to any jack other than BD/DVD. For details, see the Advanced Manual.

4. Connect the Audio Component
Example of a connection with an audio component. Connect a CD player using a digital optical cable or analog audio cable. You can also connect a turntable that has an MM-type cartridge to the PHONO jack. 0 If the turntable has a built-in audio equalizer, connect it to
another AUDIO IN jack. Further, if the turntable uses an MC type cartridge, install an audio equalizer compatible with the MC type cartridge between the unit and the turntable, then connect to any AUDIO IN jack other than the PHONO jack.
If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND terminal of this unit.
