  1. Connecting the TV and players

Important:The power cord must be connected only after all other connections are completed.HDMI Cable ConnectionThe unit has many HDMI jacks on its rear panel and each of them corresponds to an input selector button of the same name on the front panel. For example, a Blu-ray Disc player will be connected to the IN 1 jack and the BD/DVD button on the front panel will be used to listen to the playback sound (if the player is CEC compliant, input will be switched automatically). If you add another Blu-ray Disc player, you can use any other jack than IN 1. It is possible to change assignment of the input jacks and input selector buttons.For how to make settings, see the Advanced Manual. To connect the TV and the unit, connect the HDMI OUT jack of the unit and the HDMI IN jack of the TV using an HDMI cable. With this connection, it becomes possible to display the setting screen of the unit on the TV or transmit video/audio signals from the player to the TV. If your TV supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), it is possible to play the TV sound with the AV receiver’s speakers with this connection only. If your TV does not support ARC, you need, in addition to the HDMI OUT jack connection, a digital optical cable connection between the digital audio out optical jack of the TV and the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the unit or an analog audio (RCA) cable connection between the audio output jack of the TV and the TV/CD analog audio input jack of the unit.Connection with a TV not supporting ARCThe unit supports the HDMI Through function that allows transmission from players to the TV even if the unit is in standby. You have to modify the settings to enable the input selection link with CEC compliant device, connection with ARC compatible TV, and HDMI Through function. See the section 3 “HDMI Setup” of “Step 2: Setting Up”.To play 4K or 1080p video, use the high speed HDMI cable.Connecting Components without HDMIIf your AV component does not have HDMI jack, use an available jack of your component for cable connection with this unit. Just as the HDMI jacks, other jacks on this unit have a preassigned input selector button on the front panel. See the name of the input selector button shown with the jack when connecting the device.If you connect a turntable which does not have a builtin audio equalizer, you need to install an external audioequalizer between the unit and the turntable.Audio signal connection

    •  Only one subwoofer can be connected.
    •  To use the ZONE function, refer to the section 6 “Using the multi-zone function” of “Step 3: Playing Back”.It is ideal to install the front speakers and center speaker at the height not too far from that of the screen. As for the surround speakers, it is recommended to install at the position slightly backward of the listening position and higher than the listener’s ears, since it is preferable to obtain a diffused sound rather than a direct sound. As a bass sound reproduced by subwoofer is less directional, it is possible to place it at any position. Consider the best installation position where a bass sound can be clearly heard by listening to actual playback.Important: Connect speakers with 66 to  impedance.Using a speaker with less impedance than the supportedvalue may result in failure. Cut and remove the plastic coating from the end of the speaker cable, twist the core and connect it to the terminal.Make correct connection between the unit’s jacks and speaker’s jacks (+ to + and – to -) for each channel. Ifconnection is wrong, a bass sound may become poor due to reverse phase. The levers of positive (+) speaker terminalsare color-coded. Also, the supplied speaker cables are colorcoated to help correct connection. The colored cables are positive (+) cables. Connect a cable to a terminal in the same color as the cable. Do not connect a subwoofer with built-in power amplifier to the subwoofer terminals of this unit.

Troubleshooting

Before starting the procedure Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/off or disconnecting/connecting the power cord,which is easier than working on the connection, setting and operating procedure. Try the simple measures on both the unit and the connected device. If the problem is that the video or audio is not output or the HDMI linked operation does not work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable may solve it. When reconnecting, be careful not to wind the HDMI cable since if wound the HDMI cable may not fit well. After reconnecting, turn off and on the unit and the connected device.The AV receiver turns off unexpectedly.

  •  The AV receiver will automatically enter standby mode when Auto Standby is set and launched.

There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet.

  • A wrong input selector button has been selected. Select a correct input for the player. Also check that muting isnot on.
  •  Not all listening modes use all speakers.

There’s no picture.

  •  A wrong input selector button has been selected.
  • To display video from the connected player on the TV screen while the unit is in standby, you need to enable “HDMI Through”.
  • When the TV image is blurry or unclear, power code or connection cables of the unit may have interfered. In that case, keep distance between TV antenna cable and cables of the unit.

HDMI control does not function correctly.

  •  Set the HDMI CEC (RIHD) setting of the unit to “On”. It is also necessary to make the HDMI linked system setting on the TV. See the TV’s instruction manual for details.

The remote controller does not work.

  •  Be sure to press RCV first before operating the unit with the remote controller.

There is no sound when multi-zone function is used

  •  With multi-zone function, sound is output only when an external component connected to the analog audio inputjacks of the unit is used, or when AM/FM broadcast is received. Multi-zone audio output is not possible if the player and the unit are connected via HDMI cable or digital cable. Connect the RCA audio output jacks of the player and the analog audio input jacks of the unit with an analog audio (RCA) cable. Also, some players require analog audio output setting.

Bluetooth

  • Try plugging/unplugging the unit and the Bluetooth enabled player. After that, check that the Bluetooth function is enabled on the Bluetooth-enabled device and the connection with the unit has been established.

Resetting the unit

Resetting the unit to the status at the time of shipment may solve the problem. If the measures above do not solve theproblem, reset the unit with the following procedure. If you reset the unit status, your preferences will be reset to the defaults. Note them down before starting reset.

  •  How to reset:
    1.  While holding down CBL/SAT on the main unit (note that step 2 must be performed with this buttonpressed down)
    2. Press ON/STANDBY on the main unit (“Clear” appears on the display and the unit returns to standby)1.While holding downCBL/SAT,2.Press
    3. ON/STANDBY
