• When 4K high-quality video (4K 60Hz, 4K HDR, etc.) is to be played, use Premium High Speed HDMI Cable or Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet that have the "PREMIUM Certified Cable" label attached to the packaging.
• When 8K high-quality video (8K 60Hz, etc.) is to be played, use ULTRA High Speed HDMI Cable that has the "ULTRA HIGH SPEED" label attached to the packaging.

Connecting the TV

By connecting a TV to this unit, you can show the video from AV devices connected to this unit on the TV and also play the sound from the TV through this unit.

To ARC/eARC TV

If the TV supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function(*), use only the HDMI cable to connect with the TV. Use the ARC-compatible HDMI IN jack of the TV for connection. You connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack labeled "ARC" on the receiver side.

- When a TV compatible with the eARC function is connected, use an HDMI cable that supports Ethernet.

To Non-ARC TV

If the TV does not support the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function(*), connect an HDMI cable and digital optical cable. If the TV does not have a DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jack, you can use an analog audio cable to connect with the AUDIO IN TV jack.

- If you use a cable set-top box, etc. connected to the input jack of this unit to watch TV (without using a TV's built-in tuner), connection with a digital optical cable or analog audio cable is not required.

Setup

- When not using the ARC function, press on the remote controller, then set "5.Hardware" - "HDMI" - "Audio Return Channel (eARC supported)" (→p144) to "Off".

(*)The ARC function and eARC function transmit the audio signals of the TV via an HDMI cable, and plays the audio of the TV on this unit. To check if the TV supports the ARC function and eARC function, refer to the instruction manual of the TV, etc.

ARC/eARC compatible audio formats (→p204)

a HDMI cable, b Digital optical cable

Connections

- Settings are required when 4K or 8K high-quality video is to be played. Refer to "HDMI 4K/8K Signal Format" (→p127) for information on the settings. Also, use an HDMI cable that supports 4K or 8K video.

Connecting the SUB Monitor

SUB Monitor

This unit has multiple HDMI OUT jacks, and another TV or projector can be connected to the HDMI OUT SUB jack.

• Switch between MAIN and SUB using the HDMI MAIN/SUB button on the remote controller (→p18) or "Quick Menu" (→p91). Note that this jack is not ARC-compatible.
• If devices with different resolutions are connected to HDMI OUT MAIN jack and SUB jack, images are output with the lower resolution.

Connecting Playback Devices

Connections to BD/DVD and GAME with HDMI jacks

This is a connection example of an AV component equipped with an HDMI jack. When connecting with an AV component that conforms to the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) standard, you can use the HDMI CEC function (*) that enables linking with input selectors, etc. and the HDMI Standby Through function that can transmit video and audio signals of the AV component to the TV even if this unit is in standby mode.

• Settings are required when 4K or 8K high-quality video is to be played. Refer to "HDMI 4K/8K Signal Format" (→p127) for information on the settings. Also, use an HDMI cable that supports 4K or 8K video.
• The corresponding resolution is different depending on the HDMI jack connected. See "Corresponding input resolutions" (→p205) for details.

Note

• To enjoy digital surround sound including Dolby Digital, set the audio output of the connected Blu-ray Disc player etc. to the Bitstream output.
  (*)The HDMI CEC function: This function enables various linking operations with CEC-compliant devices, such as switching input selectors interlocking with a CEC-compliant player, switching audio output between TV and this unit or adjusting the volume using the remote controller of a CEC-compliant TV, and automatically switching this unit to standby when the TV is turned off.

a HDMI cable

Connecting a BD/DVD without HDMI Jack Mounted

This is a connection example of an AV component unequipped with an HDMI jack. Select cables that match the jacks of the AV component for connection. For example, when video input is connected to the BD/DVD jack, connect the audio input to BD/DVD jack, too. Thus, video input jacks and audio input jacks should have the same name for connection. Note that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jack are converted to HDMI video signals, and then output from the HDMI OUT jack.

• To enjoy digital surround playback in formats such as Dolby Digital, you need to make a connection for audio signals with a digital coaxial cable or a digital optical cable.

THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology mounted on THX Ultra and THX Select-certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audience can experience the rich details of surround sound at any volume level.

If the volume is turned down below the reference level, elements of sound in a certain range are lost or the sound is perceived differently by the listener.

THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume level is reduced, by intelligently adjusting the levels of the surround channels and their frequency response in the environment.

This enables users to experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in any THX listening mode. In the newly developed THX Cinema, THX Music and THX Games modes, the optimum THX Loudness Plus setting is applied according to the type of content.

• Check "Connect the Speaker Cables" (→p39) to see if the speaker connections have been made correctly. Settings for the speaker connection environment need to be made in "Speaker Setup" in Initial Setup. Check "Initial Setup with Auto Start-up Wizard" (→p158).
• Depending on the input signal and listening mode, not much sound may be output from speakers. Select another listening mode to see if sound is output.
• If surround back speakers are installed, be sure to install surround speakers as well.
• A maximum of 7.1 ch playback is possible when Bi-Amping connection is used. Be sure to remove the jumper bar on the speakers when using Bi-Amping connection.

☐ The subwoofer produces no sound

If the setting of the front speakers is "Full Band", the low range elements will be output from the front speakers instead of from the subwoofer during

2 ch audio input of TV or music. To output the sound from the subwoofer, make one of the following settings.

1. Change the setting for the front speakers to a setting of crossover frequency value other than "Full Band".

The range below the specified frequency will be output from the subwoofer instead of from the front speakers. If your front speakers have a high low-range reproduction capability, changing this setting is not recommended.

1. Change "Double Bass" to "On".

The low range elements of the front speakers will be output from both the front speakers and the subwoofer. Due to this, the bass sound may be emphasized too much. In such a case, do not change the setting, or make the setting with the above option 1.

• For the setting details, refer to "2. Speaker" - "Crossover" on the Setup menu.

Listening Mode Effects

In alphabetical order

AllCh Stereo

This mode is ideal for background music. Stereo sound is played through the surround speakers as well as the front speakers, creating a stereo image.

Atmos

Since this mode calculates the positional data of audio recorded in Dolby Atmos audio in real-time and outputs it from appropriate speakers, you can enjoy the natural and stereophonic sound field of Dolby Atmos with any speaker layout including connection of only front speakers. Also, the Dolby Atmos sound design can be reproduced more faithfully by connecting surround back speakers or height speakers. You can select this mode when inputting the Dolby Atmos audio format.

Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos does not rely on channels, but rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have independent motion in a 3D space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is an optional audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more stereophonic sound field by introducing a sound field above the listener.

According to the speaker layout, the following listening modes are displayed. - Atmos 2.0/2.1: When only front speakers are installed

• Atmos 3.0/3.1: When front speakers and center speaker are installed
• Atmos 4.0/4.1: When front speakers and surround speakers are installed
• Atmos 5.0/5.1: When front speakers, center speaker and surround speakers are installed
• Atmos 6.0/6.1: When front speakers, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed
• Atmos 7.0/7.1: When front speakers, center speaker, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed
• Atmos 2.0.2/2.1.2: When front speakers and height speakers are installed
• Atmos 3.0.2/3.1.2: When front speakers, center speaker and height speakers are installed
• Atmos: Selectable in the "4.1.2 ch", "5.1.2 ch", "6.1.2 ch", "7.1.2 ch",

"4.1.4 ch", "5.1.4 ch", "6.1.4 ch" or "7.1.4 ch" setting with surround speakers and height speakers installed.

• To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output.
• When "Speaker Virtualizer" (→p137) is set to "Off" (Default: On), modes other than ☒ Atmos cannot be selected.

DD (Dolby Audio - DD)

This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Digital audio format.

Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital format developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and is widely adopted for use in movie production. It is also a standard audio format for DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 5.1 channels on a DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc; two front channels, one center channel, two surround channels, and the LFE channel dedicated to the bass region (sound elements for the subwoofer).

To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via a digital cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Digital Plus audio format.

The Dolby Digital Plus format has been improved based on Dolby Digital, increasing the number of channels and endeavoring to improve sound quality by giving more flexibility in data bit rates. Dolby Digital Plus is an optional audio format based on 5.1 ch for Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 7.1 channels with additional channels such as the surround back channel.

To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

Appendix

Direct

This listening mode can be selected for all input signals. Processing that affects sound quality is shut down, and sound closer to the original is reproduced. The sound is reproduced with the sound field based on the number of channels in the input signal. For example, a 2 ch signal is output only from the front speakers.

Note that the sound adjustment is not available when this mode is selected.

- The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

This listening mode expands 2 ch or 5.1 ch input signals to 5.1 ch, 7.1 ch or 5.1.2 ch. This mode expands actual channels to more channels for playback according to the configuration of the connected speakers. Also, even if there is no speaker for expansion, for example when only front speakers are connected, audio of surround channel or height channel is virtually created for expansion playback.

According to the speaker layout, the following listening modes are displayed.

• DSur 2.0/2.1: When only front speakers are installed
• DSur 3.0/3.1: When front speakers and center speaker are installed
• DSur 4.0/4.1: When front speakers and surround speakers are installed
• DSur 5.0/5.1: When front speakers, center speaker and surround speakers are installed

- DSur 6.0/6.1: When front speakers, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed

- DSur 7.0/7.1: When front speakers, center speaker, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed

- DSur 2.0.2/2.1.2: When front speakers and height speakers are installed

- DSur 3.0.2/3.1.2: When front speakers, center speaker and height speakers are installed

- DSur: Selectable in the "4.1.2 ch", "5.1.2 ch", "6.1.2 ch", "7.1.2 ch", "4.1.4 ch", "5.1.4 ch", "6.1.4 ch" or "7.1.4 ch" setting with surround speakers and height speakers installed.

- When "Speaker Virtualizer" (→p137) is set to "Off" (Default: On), modes other than ☒ DSur cannot be selected.

DTHD (Dolby Audio - TrueHD)

This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby TrueHD audio format.

The Dolby TrueHD audio format is a "lossless" format expanded based on the lossless compression technology referred to as MLP, and it faithfully reproduces the master audio recorded in the studio. Dolby TrueHD is an optional audio format based on 5.1 ch for Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 7.1 channels with additional channels such as the surround back channel. 7.1 ch is recorded at 96 kHz/24 bit, and 5.1 ch is recorded at 192 kHz/24 bit.

- To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

DSD

This mode is suitable for playing sources recorded in DSD.

- This unit supports the DSD signal input from the HDMI input terminal. However, depending on the connected player, better sound may be obtained by setting the output on the player side to the PCM output.

- This listening mode cannot be selected if the output setting on your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is not set to DSD.

DTS

In this mode, monaural audio is played from the center speaker at the time of inputting an analog signal or PCM signal. If there is no center speaker connected, monaural audio is played from the front speakers.

Mono Music

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.

Multich (Multichannel)

This mode is suitable to play sources recorded in multichannel PCM.

Orchestra

This mode is suitable for classical or operatic music. This mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the sound image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

- The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

Pure Audio

This mode reproduces the original sound more faithfully. The display and analog video circuit are turned off to provide purer sound. Note that the sound adjustment is not available when this mode is selected.

• Selecting this mode turns off the analog video circuit, so the video signals input through jacks other than the HDMI IN jack cannot be displayed on the TV.
• This cannot be selected when using the Multi-zone function. Activating the Multi-zone function while this mode is selected will automatically switch the listening mode to Direct.
• The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

Stereo

THX

THX is a series of specifications for the accurate reproduction of movies propounded by the film director George Lucas. THX listening modes include the THX Cinema mode, etc. Using technology such as THX Loudness Plus and Timbre Matching, the sound of a movie theater is reproduced accurately.
- The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

THX technology:

A movie soundtrack is mixed in a large-scale theater specially made for mixing that is called a dubbing stage on the assumption that the soundtrack is played in such theaters with similar equipment and conditions. These soundtracks are recorded as is, even when recording to a DVD-Video, for example, without making any modifications to suit a home theater environment. THX technology is able to reproduce the movie theater sound accurately in a home theater environment by minimizing acoustic and spatial deviation.

- THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology mounted on THX Ultra and THX Select-certified AV receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audience can experience the rich details of surround sound at any volume level. If the volume is turned down below the reference level, elements of sound in a certain range are lost, or the sound is perceived differently by audience. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced, by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response.

- Re-EQ

The speakers for the front channel in a movie theater are installed behind the screen. For this reason the high range is enhanced in the sound track of the front channel in view of acoustic characteristics such as the necessity to penetrate the screen. Re-EQ adjusts the soundtrack with the enhanced high range to make it suitable for a home theater.

- Timbre Matching

The perception of human ears differs depending on the sound direction. Movie theaters have many surround speakers installed, so they are excellent at surrounding the viewers with natural sound, but home theaters have only two surround speakers installed. The Timbre Matching function filters the signals sent to the surround speakers, and adjusts the tonal characteristics of front speakers and surround speakers to create smooth sound movement from front

speakers to surround speakers.

- Adaptive Decorrelation

While movie theaters have many surround speakers to enable the experience where viewers are surrounded with sound, home theaters normally have only two surround speakers. Such two surround speakers give a headphone-like sound, which is not a broad and embracing surround sound. If a listener moves away from the middle position between the surround speakers, the sound from the surround speakers is absorbed into the sound from the nearby speakers, and cannot be distinguished any more. Adaptive Decorrelation changes the time axis and phase between the surround channels so that you can enjoy the same spatial sound with two surround speakers as in a movie theater.

• ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)

ASA is a technology patented by THX to provide a broad surround sound experience by adjusting the sounds of two surround speakers on the sides and two surround speakers at the back. When installing the surround back speakers, be sure to select the distance between the two surround back speakers in the THX Audio settings. This setting optimizes the surround sound environment.

THX listening modes:

– THX Cinema: Use this mode in a home theater environment to play the soundtrack that was recorded on the assumption that it is played in a movie theater or similar large area. In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is set to the theater level, and Re-EQ, Timbre Matching and Adaptive Decorrelation are all enabled.
– THX Games: Use this mode for high-fidelity spatial reproduction of game sound. THX Loudness Plus is set to a level suited to the audio level of the game, and Timbre Matching is enabled.
– THX Music: This mode mainly adjusts the playback of music sources that are mastered to a much higher quality obviously than movie audio. In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is set to a level suited to the playback of music, and Timbre Matching is enabled.
- THX Sel Cin (THX Select Cinema): The THX Select Cinema mode provides a high-quality surround sound experience by expanding movie sources recorded in 5.1 ch for 7.1 ch playback. In this mode, the THX ASA processing technology gives smooth transition between side and back surround sounds, creating the best atmosphere and directional sense of surround sound.

Appendix

– THX Sel Gam (THX Select Games): Select the THX Select Games mode to play game sound recorded in a multichannel format. In this mode, the THX ASA processing technology enables the playback of game sound in a 360-degree sound field which was recorded in PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and other 5.1 ch formats.
– THX Sel Mus (THX Select Music): Select THX Select Music to play music sources recorded in a multichannel format. In this mode, the THX ASA processing technology creates a broad and stable back sound field when playing music sources recorded in 5.1 ch, such as DTS, Dolby Digital, and DVD-Audio.

TV Logic

Suitable for TV shows produced in a TV studio. This mode gives clarity to voices by enhancing the entire surround sounds, and creates a realistic acoustic image.

- The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals and jazz. This mode emphasizes the front sound field image, giving the impression of being in front of the stage.

- The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

Speaker Combinations
