Frequently Asked Questions - SA-XR58 PANASONIC

How do I connect my TV and DVD player via HDMI?

Use a Panasonic HDMI cable (recommended). Connect the DVD player to the HDMI IN terminal on the receiver, and the HDMI OUT to the TV. Audio and video signals pass through even when the receiver is in standby. For HDAVI Control, also connect the TV's digital audio output to the receiver's OPTICAL 1 input. Refer to pages 5 and 21 of the manual.

How to perform auto speaker setup?

Place the supplied calibration microphone at the seating area. Connect it to the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel. Turn on the unit, press and hold the AUTO TEST button for 2 seconds. The receiver will automatically detect speakers and adjust distance, size, and level. When finished, 'COMPLETE' appears. Disconnect the microphone. See pages 14-16.

No sound from the speakers. What should I check?

First, ensure the receiver is turned on and SPEAKERS A is lit. Check that the volume is not muted (press MUTING on remote). Verify speaker connections and impedance (6-16 Ω). Make sure the correct input source is selected. If using digital input, check that the DIG INPUT setting matches your connection. Also, turn off PCM FIX mode if enabled. Refer to troubleshooting on page 39.

How do I connect a subwoofer?

Connect an active subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER terminal on the receiver using a monaural connection cable. In the auto speaker setup or manual settings, set SUBW to YES. The subwoofer level can be adjusted in the sound effects menu (press SUBWOOFER button). The default level is 20. See pages 12 and 31.

Can I use the receiver to play audio from my TV?

Yes. Connect the TV's digital audio output (optical or coaxial) to a DIGITAL IN terminal on the receiver. Then set the input to TV. If your TV has HDMI, you can also route audio through the HDMI connection. For HDAVI Control, select TV input automatically when operating the TV. See page 9.

How to reset the receiver to factory settings?

Enter the setup menu by pressing MENU/SETUP. Select 'RESET' and confirm by pressing ENTER. Choose 'YES' to reset all settings to factory defaults. Note that preset radio stations will remain. After reset, input switches to TUNER. See page 29.

What is HDAVI Control and how to use it?

HDAVI Control links the receiver with compatible Panasonic VIERA TVs and DIGA DVD recorders via HDMI. When enabled, pressing ONE TOUCH PLAY on the remote turns on all devices and starts playback. The receiver automatically switches to DVR input. To activate, ensure all devices are HDMI connected and enable HDAVI Control in the receiver's HDMI settings. Refer to page 21.

How do I tune FM/AM radio stations?

Press TUNER to select FM or AM. For manual tuning, press TUNE ∧ or ∨ to find a station. For direct tuning on remote, input the frequency using number buttons. To auto-preset stations, enter the TUNER menu and select AUTO MEMO. Then choose START. You can also manually preset by storing a tuned station to a channel. See pages 32-33.

How to clean the receiver?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or chemically treated cloths without reading instructions. Do not allow liquids to enter the unit. Unplug before cleaning. See 'Maintenance' on the back cover.

What should I do if the display shows 'F76' or 'F70'?

'F76' or 'F70' indicates a malfunction. Turn off the receiver, disconnect the AC mains lead, and consult your dealer or an authorized service center. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. See troubleshooting on page 39.

Speaker connections

Connecting speakers

Connections and placement to suit the number of speakers you have

The ideal is to have all the speakers (except the subwoofer) at equal distances from the seating area. Auto speaker setup compensates for any differences (= pages 14 to 16).

Front speakers (left, right)

R

Place either side of the television, then adjust their position and angle towards the seating position until you are satisfied with the relationship between the images and sound.

Center speaker () C

Place directly above or below the center of the television, aiming at the seating position.

Surround speakers (left, right)

RS

Place on either side of or slightly behind the seating area, about one meter higher than ear level.

Surround back speakers (left, right / when you connect only one speaker) SB

Place behind the seating area, about one meter higher than ear level.

Subwoofer ( ) SUBW

Place anywhere near the television (but not so close as to cause excessive vibration).

Number of speakers	Placement
7		This setup is suitable for playing 6.1-channel sources (DTS-ES and Dolby Digital Surround EX).Use Dolby Pro LogicIIx, DTS NEO:6, or SFC to enhance 2-channel or 5.1-channel sources.
6		This is the best setup for playing 6.1-channel sources (DTS-ES and Dolby Digital Surround EX).Use Dolby Pro LogicIIx, DTS NEO:6, or SFC to enhance 2-channel or 5.1-channel sources.
		Use this setup when you do not have a center speaker.The center channel is split between the front speakers.
5		This is the best setup for playing 5.1-channel sources (Dolby Digital and DTS materials).Use Dolby Pro LogicIIx, DTS NEO:6, or SFC to enhance 2-channel sources.
		Use this setup when you do not have a center speaker.The center channel is split between the front speakers.
4		Any center-channel sound (from 2-channel, 5.1-channel or 6.1-channel sources or allocated by Dolby Pro LogicIIx, DTS NEO:6, or SFC) is split between the front speakers. Surround back speakers are split between the surround speakers.
3		Any surround or surround back-channel sound (from multi-channel sources or allocated by Dolby Pro LogicIIx, DTS NEO:6, or SFC) is split between the front speakers.
2		This is the best setup for stereo sources.All other channels are “down-mixed” and played through the front speakers.

• Turn off all components before making any connections.
• Peripheral equipment and cables sold separately unless otherwise indicated.
• To connect equipment, refer to the appropriate operating instructions.

Speaker impedance

Front A: 6 to 16 Ω

Center: 6 to 16 Ω

Note

After changing your speaker set up: Perform auto speaker setup

(→ pages 14 to 16) or automatic speaker detection (→ page 17); or for manual settings (→ page 27).

Connecting biwireable speakers

Biwireable speakers have separate terminals for the high frequency and low frequency signals.

• Use this connection to reduce interference between the high frequency and low frequency signals for high-fidelity sound.
• When you are playing analogue or 2-channel PCM sources, the unit can allocate an amplifier each to the high frequency and low frequency signals, thereby giving you a much clearer bi-amp stereo sound (→ page 20).
  • HF stands for high frequency and LF for low frequency.

For your reference

• Be sure to connect the HF cables to the FRONT B terminals, and the LF cables to the FRONT A terminals, so that you can correct any delay that may occur (→ page 28).
• To take advantage of this connection and ensure the best possible sound, be sure to change the setting in "LR BI-WIRE setting" to "YES" (→ page 27).

Connecting a second pair of front speakers

This second set of terminals allows you to connect a second pair of speakers to place in another room, for example. To use the speakers connected to the FRONT B terminals, press [SPEAKERS B] ( page 20).

Speaker impedance

Front A and B: 6 to 16 Ω

Front B: 6 to 16 Ω

Note

When only SPEAKERS B is on, output will be 2-channel only. Signals from multi-channel sources are "down-mixed" and output through the two front speakers you have connected.

Before playback

Auto speaker setup

Auto speaker setup allows you to achieve a satisfactory listening environment easily with the use of the supplied calibration microphone as a detector of sound signals. The unit will first perform automatic speaker detection, then checks and adjusts the following settings.

Automatic speaker detection (This can also be performed in “Automatic speaker detection”, ➔ page 17. However, for a more optimized listening environment, carry out the setup here.)	Checks which speakers you have connected.The factory setting is 7 speakers and a subwoofer.Some types of speakers and cables may cause disruptions to the setup. In this case, conduct manual setting, “Speaker and size settings”, ➔ page 27.
DISTANCE	Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the timing of each channel. For manual setup, “Distance”, ➔ page 27.
POLARITY	Checks the polarity of each speaker. You can choose not to have polarity checked, “Auto setup”, ➔ page 27.
SIZE	Checks the speaker’s frequency response. For manual setup, “Speaker and size settings”, ➔ page 27.The front speakers are set to SMALL if the unit determines that they are different sizes.
FREQUENCY	Sets the appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel according to the speaker size. For manual setup, “Low-pass filter”, ➔ page 27.The setting is based on the speaker with the lowest bass reproduction range.Also checks on “Level” setting to adjust the sound level (volume) for each speaker.
LEVEL	Makes any further corrections to the volume of each speaker (for manual setup, “Speaker output and level” ➔ page 17) and also to the frequency response.

Before setup

• Conduct the auto speaker setup in a quiet environment. A noisy background will give unsatisfactory results.
• Put the subwoofer in position, switch it on, and sets its volume to the level you would normally use. If you do auto speaker setup without the subwoofer, the front speakers will be set as large, possibly resulting in an unsatisfactory bass.

Process for auto speaker setup

1 Placing of calibration microphone.

Place on a flat surface at the seating area. Use a tripod for best results.

2 Connect the calibration microphone to the [SETUP MIC] jack on the front panel.

Note

The calibration microphone is sensitive to heat. Keep it away from direct sunlight and do not place it on top of the unit.

• Turn off all components before making any connections.
• Peripheral equipment and cables sold separately unless otherwise indicated.
• To connect equipment, refer to the appropriate operating instructions.

3 Start performing auto speaker setup.

Turn on the unit.

The standby indicator goes off when you turn on the unit.
