Speaker system hookups (continued)

Tip

You can connect an active sub woofer to either of the two jacks. The remaining jack can be used to connect a second active sub woofer.

2ND ROOM hookup

You can use the center and surround back speakers as right and left speakers in the 2nd room (See page 25). Make sure to connect correctly as indicated on the rear panel.

Speaker impedance

To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front, center, surround, and surround back speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to

“8 Ω”. Check the operating instructions supplied with your speakers if you’re not sure of their impedance. (This information is usually printed on a label on the back of the speaker.)

You may connect a pair of speakers with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to all of the speaker terminals. However, even if one speaker within this range is connected, set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4 Ω”.

Note

Be sure to turn the power off when setting the

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.

Performing initial setup

operations

Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the receiver’s memory. Then specify the speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.

Tip

To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection (see page 22).

Clearing the receiver’s memory

Before using your receiver for the first time, or when you want to clear the receiver’s memory, do the following.

This procedure is not necessary if the demonstration activates when you turn on the power.

1 Turn off the receiver.

2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.

The demonstration starts (see page 3) and all of the following items are reset or cleared:

•All preset stations are reset or cleared.

•All sound field parameters are reset to their factory settings.

•All index names (of preset stations and program sources) are cleared.

•All SET UP parameters are reset to their factory settings.

•The sound field memorized for each program source and preset stations are cleared.

•The master volume is set to –∞dB.
