Continued HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connection : (‘1) + You can connect the source component (BD player, etc.) to the display component (TV, projector, etc.) through this receiver with using a commercially available HDMI cord. + The HDMI connection can carry uncompressed digital video signals and digital audio signals. + The HDMI video stream signals (video signals) are theoretically compatible with DVI-D. When connecting to a TV monitor, etc., equipped with DVI-D connector, it is possible to connect using a commercially available HDMI-DVI converter cord. Since the HDMi-to-DVI connection cannot carry any audio signals, set the “HDMI” to “AMP” to hear the HDMI digital audio signals on this receiver. (For details, refer to the “When selecting the “HDMI (HDMI Audio Out)" on page 25.) ENGLISH Copyright protection system + This unit supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), technology to protect copyright of digital video signals against illegal duplication. HDCP must also be supported on the components connected to this unit. + This unit is HDMI Ver. 1.3 compatible. + HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC. Notes : + For stable signal transfer, we recommend using HDMI cords that are a maximum of 5 meters in length. + Among the components that support HDMI, some components can control other components via the HDMI connector. However, this unit cannot be controlled by another component via the HDMI connector. + The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the component that is connected. + The video signals will not be output properly if a component incompatible with HDCP is connected. + Ifthe resolutions of the video signals which are output from the MONITOR OUTS and your monitor TV are not matched, the picture is not clear, natural or displayed. In this case, change the setting of the resolution on the source component (DVD player, etc.) to one which the monitor TV can handle. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of the source component.) + When you want to enjoy only the picture on your TV, not the sound, you should set the “HDMI” to AMP not to output the digital audio signal from the HDMI MONITOR OUT of this receiver. (For details, refer to “When selecting the “HDMI (HDMI Audio Out)" on page 25.)

4. CONNECTING DIGITAL INS

+ The OPTICAL and the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTS of the components that are connected Loan to this unit can be connected to these COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT DIGITAL INs. + When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL ‘Component with connection, be sure to use a 75 Q COAXIAL LOOMA DEA OUT | cord, not a conventional AUDIO cord. D) R compare HNotes : OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT + Be sure to make either a OPTICAL or a sont cour COAXIAL DIGITAL connection on each DIGITAL IN component. (You don't need to do both.) + If you connect the DIGITAL INs to your components, you should assign the DIGITAL INs correctly. (For details, refer to “When CD, AUX, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2(“V2/IPOD") is selected as an input source” on page 20.)

Speaker placement Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows : BFront left and right speakers and center speaker + Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen as possible. + Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers. + Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener's ears when at the main listening position. ÆSurround left and right speakers + Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightiy behind. ÆSurround back left and right speakers + Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the front at a narrower distance than front speakers. + When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm ) than the surround speakers. + We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightiy downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp. Subwoofer + The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired. HNotes : + When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center speakers. +_ To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.
