The display shows the speaker setup, room size and listening position that you have selected. The Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration MCACC system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.
Place the mic about ear level at your normal listening position using the supplied microphone stand on a table or chair. The system outputs a series of test tones to establish the ambient noise level. If you see an ERR message in the display, there may be a problem with your mic or the speaker connections.

Connect from an S-video jack on the rear of the receiver to an S-video jack on the video component you are hooking up.
Commercially available digital audio coaxial cords standard video cords can also be used or optical cables not supplied are used to connect digital components to this receiver. The easiest way to hook up this receiver for surround sound is to use a digital input.
You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections you do not need to do both. The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like for example, the coaxial output from the component to coaxial input on the receiver. Connect your digital components to the rear panel as shown below.
If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R you can make direct digital recordings with this unit. When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet. We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks as well. Make sure the RF demodulator digital in switch is set correctly optical or coaxial depending on the connection.
See the component's instruction manual if you are unsure about its input and output jacks. To begin set up, connect your analog audio components such as a cassette deck to the jacks. For components you want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver a set of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs , but for components that only play, you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs.
See page 17 for more on digital connections. If you prefer to use a seperate component for decoding DVDs, you can connect a decoder or a DVD player with multi-channel analog outputs to the multi-channel inputs of this receiver. Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. With digital video components like a DVD player , you must use the connections shown on this page for the video signal, but in order to hear a digital source like a DVD you should hook up the audio to a digital input see page It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections see page For better quality video, you can hook up using the S-video jacks on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks.
Make sure they are connected to the video component using the same kind of connection. Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna as shown below.
To improve reception and sound quality, connect external antennas see Using external antennas below. Always make sure that the receiver is switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet before making or changing any connections. Connect the FM wire antenna and fully extend vertically along a window frame or another suitable place that gives good reception. Assemble the antenna and connect to the receiver.
Attach if necessary and face in the direction that gives the best reception. Twist the exposed wire strands together and insert into the hole, then snap the connector shut. Connect a 5—6 metre length of vinyl-coated wire to the AM antenna terminal without disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers the front speakers in the diagram but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.
Surround back speaker setting on page 45 you can hook up a subwoofer instead of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals. Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire is touching the back panel when you switch the unit on, the power may cut off as a safety measure. Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.
The receiver has two speaker systems: A and B. A is the main system supporting the full speaker setup. If you switch on both A and B speaker systems, only the front speakers and the active subwoofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center, surround, or surround back speakers, but multi-channel sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no sound will be lost. Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best.
Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers following , but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them.
If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord. Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or an electric shock.
Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on.
