Switching the speaker system

Three speaker system settings are possible
using the SPEAKERS button.
• Use the SPEAKERS button on the front
panel to select a speaker system setting.
SPEAKERS
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system
option:
• SPA – Sound is output from the speakers
connected to the A speaker terminals and
PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT
(multichannel playback is possible).
• SPB – Sound is output from the two
speakers connected to speaker system B
(only stereo playback is possible).
• SPAB – Sound is output from speaker
system A, the two speakers in speaker
system B, and the subwoofer.
Multichannel sources are downmixed only
when the STEREO or ALC mode is selected
for stereo output from speaker systems A
2
and B.
• SP – No sound is output from the
speakers.
Note
1 The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Speaker Setting on page 43. However, if SPB is selected above,
no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
2 You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω. However, be aware that only the front speakers are set
to a value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω when you select SPAB.
3 • Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on page 38 to THRU (THROUGH) and set the input signal in Choosing
the input signal on page 41 to HDMI, if you want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV or flat panel TV (no sound will be
heard from this receiver).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat panel TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or
display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case, use
a (analog) composite connection.
• When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be received.

Making cable connections

Make sure not to bend the cables over the top
of this unit (as shown in the illustration). If this
happens, the magnetic field produced by the
transformers in this unit may cause a
humming noise from the speakers.
Important
• Before making or changing connections,
switch off the power and disconnect the
power cord from the AC outlet.
• Before unplugging the power cord, switch
the power into standby.

HDMI cables

Both video and sound signals can be transmitted
simultaneously with one cable. If connecting the
player and the TV via this receiver, for both
connections, use HDMI cables.
HDMI cable
Be careful to connect the terminal in the
proper direction.
