InstallInstallation procedure This unit can be used in a number of ways, depending on the layout of the speakers you are installing, and the connections made to external devices. Read the following to help make the installation process smoother.
Step1: Speaker Layout
Select the speaker layout that suits the types of speakers you have and the conditions they will be used in from the choices presented on pages P8 to P12, then install the speakers by referring to the illustrations and explanations on the relevant page. Speaker layouts include systems that use surround back speakers, systems that use height speakers, and systems that use Bi-Amping speakers. Also refer to the combinations available in "Speaker combinations" on P13.
Step2: Connect the Speakers
To connect the speaker systems to this unit, refer to P14 if you are using a speaker layout described on one of P8 to P11, and to P15 to use a speaker layout using Bi-Amping speakers described on P12. The connection process will be smoother if you refer to the illustrations and explanations and prepare the required cables before hand.
Step3: Connect the TV & AV Components
Refer to P16 to P22 to connect your external devices such as your TV, Blu-ray Disc Player, and also supplied accessories such as the antennas. Also, P20, P21 introduces the Multi-zone Connection option that allows you to play audio into rooms other than the main room. The connection process will be smoother if you refer to the illustrations and explanations, confirm the connection types on the external devices, and prepare the required cables before hand.

Step1: Speaker Layout 7.1 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. 0 If you are including surround back speakers in the setup,
surround speakers are required. 0 "Speaker combinations" (P13) introduces some detailed
examples of speaker combinations.

5.1.2 Channel System-1 (Front High Speakers/Rear High Speakers)
This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a powered subwoofer, with the addition of front height speakers or rear high speakers, which are both types of height speakers. By installing height speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Front high speakers or rear high speakers should be situated at least 3/0.9 m higher than the front speakers. Front high speakers should be situated directly above the front speakers and the distance between the rear high speakers should match the distance between the front speakers. Both should be set up facing the listening position. 0 "Speaker combinations" (P13) introduces some detailed
examples of speaker combinations.

This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a powered subwoofer, with the addition of top front speakers, top middle speakers, or top rear speakers, which are types of height speakers. By installing height speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Fit top front speakers on the ceiling forward of the seating position, top middle speakers on the ceiling directly above the seating position, and top rear speakers on the ceiling behind the seating position. The distance between each pair should match the distance between the two front speakers. 0 Dolby Laboratories recommends placing this type of
height speakers to obtain the best Dolby Atmos effect. 0 "Speaker combinations" (P13) introduces some detailed
examples of speaker combinations.

This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a powered subwoofer, with the addition of Dolby enabled speakers (front) or Dolby enabled speakers (surround), which are both types of height speakers. Dolby enabled speakers are special speakers designed to face the ceiling so that sound is heard after bouncing off the ceiling so that sound appears to be coming from overhead. By installing height speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Place them either above the front speakers or above the surround speakers. 0 "Speaker combinations" (P13) introduces some detailed

Bi-Amping the Speakers
With a 5.1 channel system, it is possible to connect front speakers that support Bi-Amping to improve the quality of the bass and treble. Bi-Amping compatible speakers need their terminals for the tweeters connected to one amplifier and their terminals for woofers connected to another amplifier, so it is not possible to connect height speakers and surround back speakers with this connection. Other than front speakers, you can also connect a center speaker, surround speakers, and a powered subwoofer. 0 "Speaker combinations" (P13) introduces some detailed
examples of speaker combinations.

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.

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.
