Connecting the Speaker Cables

 

 

Started

 

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –

 

 

 

 

(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-2310CI,

 

 

and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

Information

 

Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using front

 

A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance of

 

 

 

 

12 to 16 Ω/ohms.

 

 

NOTE

Troubleshooting

 

• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out

 

of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if

 

 

 

 

the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each

 

 

other (v “Protection circuit”).

 

 

• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power

 

 

supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.

Connecting the Speakers

About bi-amp connections

These connections make for higher quality playback sound with no interference between the signals of the bass and treble units.

When the amplifier assignment mode is set to “Front A Bi-Amp” or “Front B Bi-Amp”, connect as shown below. (The illustration shows a connection example for the front B Bi-Amp speakers.)

(L)(R)

AVR-2310CI

When in the “Front A Bi-Amp” and “Front B Bi-Amp” modes, the same signals are output from the front speaker terminals and the AMP ASSIGN terminals.

NOTE

Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.

When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short- circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.

Important Information

n About HDMI

“HDMI” is the abbreviation of “High Definition Multimedia Interface”. This interface allows transfer of digital video signals

and digital audio signals over a single HDMI cable.

“HDMI”, “HDMI logo” and “High-Definition Multimedia Interface” are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

n Functions usable with HDMI connections

Deep Color

Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors.

x.v.Color

Enables displays with natural, vivid colors. “x.v.Color” is a Sony registered trademark.

Auto Lip Sync (vpage 31)

HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy.

HDMI control function (vpage 31, 54)

This function allows you to operate external devices from the receiver and operate the receiver from external devices.

NOTE

These functions will not work if the device connected to the HDMI terminal does not support Deep Color or x.v.Color signal transfer or the Auto Lip Sync function.

The��� ����HDMI control������� function�������� ���may not��� work���� depending��������� on�� the��� ������device it�� is connected to and its settings.

You��� cannot������ operate������� aTV�� or�� Blu�������-ray Disc���� player������ /DVD��� player������ that���� is�� not compatible with the HDMI control function.

n Copyright protection system (HDCP)

The AVR-2310CI supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection). HDCP is a copyright protection technology for digital video signals. The devices connected to the AVR-2310CI must also support HDCP.

NOTE

When a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video signals are not properly output.
