Step1: Choose your Speaker Layout

For 5.1-Channel System
This is a 5.1-channel system that is the basic surround system.
Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center speaker outputs center
sound such as dialogs and vocals. Surround speakers create back sound
field. Powered subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound
field. The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while the
surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height. Center
speaker should be set up facing the listening position. Place the powered
subwoofer towards the front. Placing it between the center speaker and a front
speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music.
0 The front speakers, center speaker, and surround speakers are counted as
5 channels, and the powered subwoofer is counted as 0.1 of a channel,
giving us the name 5.1ch system.

For 7.1-Channel System (with

Surround Back Speakers)
This is a system with surround back speakers added to the basic 5.1-channel
system. The connection of surround back speakers improves the sense of
envelopment and connectivity of sound created by the back sound field and
provides a more real sound field. You can select the Dolby Atmos listening
mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D surround sound, when the input
format is Dolby Atmos. With formats other than Dolby Atmos, you can still
create a sound field by outputting sound from the surround back speakers
when you select the Dolby Surround listening mode. The optimal positioning is
for surround back speakers to be at ear height. Place the surround speakers
in a more slightly forward position than you would in a 5.1-channel system.
0 If you are including surround back speakers in the setup, surround
speakers are required.

For 7.1-Channel System

(with Height Speaker-A)
This is a basic 5.1-channel system with the addition of height speakers, either
as front high speakers or rear high speakers. Select which speakers to setup
according to the environment of the room. You can select the Dolby Atmos
listening mode (5.1.2 channel playback), which realizes the most up-to-date
3D surround sound including overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby
Atmos. With formats other than Dolby Atmos, you can still create a sound field
by outputting sound from the height speakers when you select the Dolby
Surround listening mode. Front high speakers or rear high speakers should be
situated at least 0.9 m higher than the front speakers. Front high speakers
should be situated directly above the front speakers and the distance between
the rear high speakers should match the distance between the front speakers.
Both should be set up facing the listening position.

For 7.1-Channel System

(with Height Speaker-B)
This is a basic 5.1-channel system using ceiling speakers, for example, with
the addition of height speakers, either as top front speakers, top middle
speakers, or top rear speakers. Select which speakers to setup according to
the environment of the room. You can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode
(5.1.2 channel playback), which realizes the most up-to-date 3D surround
sound including overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby Atmos. With
formats other than Dolby Atmos, you can still create a sound field by
outputting sound from the height speakers when you select the Dolby
Surround listening mode. Fit top front speakers on the ceiling forward of the
seating position, top middle speakers on the ceiling directly above the seating
position, and top rear speakers on the ceiling behind the seating position. The
distance between each pair should match the distance between the two front
speakers.
0 Dolby Laboratories recommends placing this type of height speakers to
obtain the best Dolby Atmos effect.

This is a basic 5.1-channel system that using Dolby enabled speakers, with
the addition of height speakers, either as Dolby enabled speakers (front) or
Dolby enabled speakers (surround). Select which speakers to setup according
to the environment of the room. Dolby enabled speakers are special speakers
designed to face the ceiling so that sound is heard after bouncing off the
ceiling so that sound appears to be coming from overhead. You can select the
Dolby Atmos listening mode (5.1.2 channel playback), which realizes the most
up-to-date 3D surround sound including overhead sounds, when the input
format is Dolby Atmos. With formats other than Dolby Atmos, you can still
create a sound field by outputting sound from the height speakers when you
select the Dolby Surround listening mode. Place them either above the front
speakers or above the surround speakers. If they are integrated Dolby
enabled speakers, put in place of the front speakers or the surround speakers.

For Bi-Amping the Speakers

It is possible to connect front speakers supporting Bi-Amping to improve
quality of the bass and treble. The maximum number of channels available
with this connection is 5.1 because Bi-Amping speakers require one amplifier
for the tweeter jacks and one amplifier for the woofer jacks. The effects and
placements for speakers are the same as the 5.1-channel plan that doesn't
use Bi-Amping speakers.

Step3: Connect the TV

if you have:
ARC TV
This unit is connected between your TV and AV
components. If you connect two or more AV components,
you can select the video displayed on the TV and the
audio output from this unit by changing the input selector.
Shown here are the connections for a TV that supports
the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. By connecting
with a single HDMI cable, you can not only output the
video input to this unit to the TV, but you can also play the
sound from the TV through this unit.
Choose an HDMI IN jack on the TV that supports ARC
when connecting.
Setup
0 Settings are required to use the ARC function.
Select "Yes" in "4. Audio Return Channel" ( P18)

This describes the connections for a TV that does not
support the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. By
connecting with both an HDMI cable and a digital optical
cable, you can not only output the video input to this unit
to the TV, but you can also play the sound from the TV
through this unit.

Step4: Connect the AV Components

if you have:
HDMI AV Components
This is an example of connection with an AV component
that has an HDMI jack. With connection to an AV
component that conforms with the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) standard, you can use features such
as the HDMI CEC feature that links with the input selector,
and the HDMI Standby Through feature which allows you
to play video and audio from AV components on the TV
even when this unit is in standby mode.
0 To play 4K or 1080p video, use a high speed HDMI
cable. Further, to enjoy HDCP2.2 compatible video,
connect to the HDMI IN1 to IN3 jacks.
Setup
0 HDMI setup ( P18) is required to use the HDMI
CEC and HDMI Standby Through features. Make
settings after all connections are complete.

This is an example of connection with an AV component
that does not have an HDMI jack. Make the connections
to the AV component to match the jacks it has. When
video input connection is to the CBL/SAT jack, the audio
input connection should also be to the CBL/SAT jacks,
and so on, so that you connect the video input jacks to the
jacks with the same name as the audio input jacks. Note
that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack will be
upconverted to HDMI signals and then output from the
HDMI OUT jack.
