Installation
The center unit can be installed on a TV stand, etc. Position the subwoofer to the left or right of the center unit. Angle the subwoofer slightly toward the center of the room to prevent sound from reflecting off of walls.
Installing the center unit on a TV stand
Position the center unit with the touch panel facing up.
NOTICE:
- Do not stack the center unit and a BD player or other device directly on each other. Doing so may cause a malfunction due to vibrations.
- Avoid touching, and never place any weight or pressure on, the subwoofer’s speaker (portion covered with fabric). Doing so may damage the speakers.
- Do not install the subwoofer where the speaker (portion covered with fabric) is too close to a wall, or cover the subwoofer’s bass reflex port. Doing so may reduce sound volume.
- The subwoofer can only be used in its upright position. Do not position the subwoofer on its side.
- This unit contains non-magnetic shielding speakers. Do not place magnetically sensitive items (hard disk drive, etc.) near the unit.
- The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Do not place objects that block or interfere with wireless signals, such as metallic furniture or devices, between the center unit and the subwoofer as wireless communication may be adversely affected
NOTE: The center unit can also be mounted on a wall. Some knowledge of building construction is required for safe installation. Please have a qualified contractor or dealer install the center unit on a wall. For details, see “Information for qualified contractors or dealers” in the Owner’s Manual.
Connections
Connecting a TV and set-top box
For the cable connection, follow the procedure below.
1: HDMI cable (sold separately)
The digital audio/video signals from the set-top box or BD/DVD player are input to this unit.2: HDMI cable (sold separately)
Digital video from the set-top box or BD/DVD player is displayed on the TV.
NOTE:
- Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a maximum length of 5 m (16 ft) is recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.
- Use of a flat HDMI cable may make installing the center unit difficult because the cable will be bent by the bottom of the center unit when connected. Confirm the layout and position of jacks on the center unit before choosing an appropriate HDMI cable.
- This unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection technology. For playback of 4K video, connect the unit to the HDMI input jack (one compatible with HDCP 2.2) on an HDCP 2.2-compliant TV, and to the HDMI output jack on a HDCP 2.2-compliant BD/DVD player.
- Use a premium high-speed HDMI cable for playback of 3D and 4K video content.
Audio Return Channel (ARC) supported TV
- Connect an HDMI cable to the audio return channel supported jack (the jack with “ARC” indicated) on TV.
- Video and audio content from playback devices can be output from the TV even when this unit is off (HDMI signal pass-through).
What is Audio Return Channel (ARC)?In order for the unit to play audio from a TV, the TV must usually be connected to the unit via an audio cable as well as an HDMI cable. If, however, the TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), TV audio signals can be input to the unit via the HDMI cable that outputs video signals from the unit to the TV.
Connecting a game console via the analog jack
Connect an external device, such as a game console or TV that does not have an optical digital audio output, to the ANALOG input jack of the center unit.
CAUTION: If volume can be adjusted on the device connected to the unit’s ANALOG input jack, set that device’s volume to the same level as that of other devices connected to the unit’s HDMI jacks to prevent volume from being louder than expected
Connecting the power cord
Once all connections have been made, connect the supplied power cords to the AC IN jacks on the center unit and subwoofer respectively, and plug the power cords into AC wall outlets.
Turning on the unit
Press z (power) on the remote control or touch z/CONNECT on the center unit. The unit turns on and the center unit and subwoofer are automatically connected via wireless connection. Once the connection has been successfully established, the * indicator on the subwoofer’s rear panel glows, and the unit is ready for playback.
NOTE: If the indicator on the subwoofer does not glow properly, see “No sound is coming from the subwoofer” in the Owner’s Manual

Connecting to a network
Network functions and the MusicCast CONTROLLER app
A network connection allows you to listen to Internet radio stations or music streaming services, and to use AirPlay to play music files, or to play music files stored on your computer (media server) via this unit. Most playback requires the “MusicCast CONTROLLER” app for mobile devices. Install and use the MusicCast CONTROLLER app on your mobile device to play music files.
Proceed from network connection to playback in the following sequence
- Choose a wired network connection (p. 18) or a wireless network connection (p. 19)
- Use the MusicCast CONTROLLER app to connect the unit to a network, and register the unit as a MusicCast-enabled device (p. 19).
- Use the MusicCast CONTROLLER app* to play music over a network. For details on playing music over a network, refer to the Owner’s Manual
AirPlay can be used to play music files without using the MusicCast CONTROLLER app.
NOTE:
- To use network function, the unit, your computer and mobile device must be connected to the same router.
- When using a multiple SSID router, access to the unit might be restricted depending on the SSID to connect. Connect the unit and mobile device to the same SSID.
- Some security software installed on your computer, or network device settings (such as a firewall), may block the unit’s access to your computer or Internet radio stations. Should this occur, change security software and/or network device settings.
- A network connection cannot be established if the MAC address filter on your router is enabled. Checkyour router’s settings.
- To configure your router’s subnet mask manually, apply the same subnet used by this unit to all devices.
- Use of a broadband connection is recommended when using Internet services.
- The unit cannot be connected to a network that requires manual setup. Connect the unit to a DHCPenabled router
Wired network connections
To use a wired network connection, connect the unit to a router via an STP network cable (category 5 or higher straight cable; sold separately).
NOTE: If network connections or settings are changed, use the MusicCast CONTROLLER app to connect the unit to a network and register the unit as a MusicCast-enabled device again (p. 19).
Wireless network connections
Connect the unit to a wireless router (access point) to use a network.
NOTE: If the unit and the wireless router (access point) are too far apart, the unit may not connect to a wireless router (access point). In such case, place them close to each other.
Connecting with the MusicCast CONTROLLER app (registering the unit as a MusicCast-enabled device)
Install the MusicCast CONTROLLER app on your mobile device to connect the unit to a network and register it as a MusicCast-enabled device.NOTE
