Overview of DAB
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new
multimedia broadcasting system that replaces
the current FM/AM broadcast to transmit audio
programmes with a quality comparable to that of
CDs
*
.
Each DAB multiplex radio station converts
programmes (services) into an ensemble, which
it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or
more components. All services and components
are identified by name, so you can access any of
them without having to know their frequencies.
Furthermore, additional information (called
programme associated data) can be broadcast
along with the services in the form of text.
With DAB digital radio, you can enjoy:
– CD sound quality without any hiss or crackle to
spoil the sound
*
– both music and data services from a single receiver
(this receiver does not support data services)
– the same radio stations of the same frequency from
anywhere in the country
– multiple programmes (services) from a single
frequency
* Some service components may not match CD quality
sound.
Notes
• The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your
country or region. It may not be broadcasted or may
be in test phase.
• DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to
240 MHz) and/or L-Band (1,452 to 1,491 MHz),
with each band divided into channels. Each of these
channels has its own channel label. For details on the
channel labels and frequencies that this receiver
supports, see the Frequency Table on page 66.
• This receiver supports DAB Band-III and L-Band.
• This receiver does not support data services.
• This receiver does not support reception in countries
outside of Europe.

2 Connect the video jacks.
The following illustration shows how to connect a TV or satellite tuner and a DVD player with
COMPONENT VIDEO (Y, P
B/CB/B-Y, PR/CR/R-Y) output jacks. Connecting a TV with component
video input jacks allows you to enjoy higher quality video.
Tips
• When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack.
S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.
• On this receiver, standard video signals can be converted to S-video signals and this upconverted video signals can
only be output from the MONITOR S-VIDEO OUT jack.
• When standard video signals from a VCR etc. are upconverted on this receiver and then output to your TV,
depending on the status of the video signal output, the image on the TV screen may appear distorted horizontally
or no image may be output.

Tip
All the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.
Notes
• It is not possible to record analog signals if you make only digital connections. Likewise, you cannot record digital
signals if you make only analog connections. To record analog signals, make analog connections. To record digital
signals, make digital connections.
• No sound is output when you play a Super Audio CD on the Super Audio CD player connected to the SA-CD/CD

1 Connect the audio jacks.
If your DVD or Super Audio CD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you can connect
it to this receiver’s MULTI CH IN jacks to enjoy the multi channel sound. Alternatively, the multi
channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder.
For details on the required cords (A
–H), see page 6.
Tip
This connection also allows you to enjoy software with multi-channel audio recorded in formats other than the Dolby
Digital and DTS.
Note
When you make connections to the MULTI CH IN jacks, you will need to adjust the level of the speakers and sub
woofer using the controls on the connected component.

Hooking up video components
If you connect your TV to the MONITOR jacks, you can watch the video from the selected input
(page 24). For details on the required cords (A
–H), see page 6.
Tips
• When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack.
S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.
• On this receiver, standard video signals can be converted to S-video signals and this upconverted video signals can
only be output from the MONITOR S-VIDEO OUT jack.
• When standard video signals from a VCR etc. are upconverted on this receiver and then output to your TV,
depending on the status of the video signal output, the image on the TV screen may appear distorted horizontally
or no image may be output.

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna, FM wire antenna and DAB wire antenna.
Notes
• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the receiver and other components.
• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna.
• After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as horizontal as possible.
• With a DAB outdoor antenna, you can obtain a higher DAB broadcast sound quality. We recommend that you use
the supplied DAB wire antenna only temporarily until you install a DAB outdoor antenna.
• Do not use the U SIGNAL GROUND terminal for grounding the receiver.

Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel speaker system.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you
connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two surround back speakers (7.1
channel) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding mode” on page 39).
Example of 7.1 channel speaker system configuration
Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position (see
“When placing only one surround back speaker” illustration on page 21).
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

Speaker impedance
(Models of area code CEL only)
To enjoy the best possible multi channel surround, connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 8
ohms or higher to the FRONT A or FRONT B, CENTER, SURR and SURR BACK terminals, and set
the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “8Ω”. Use the screwdriver to set the impedance selector to the
correct position. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your speakers if you are not sure of
their impedance. (This information is often on the back of the speaker.)
Alternatively, you may connect speakers with nominal impedances between 4 and 8 ohms to any or all
of the speaker terminals. However, be sure to set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω” if you
connect even one speaker with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
If you connect speakers to both the SPEAKERS FRONT A and B terminals, be sure to set the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR and connect the appropriate speakers as follows:
For details on selecting the front speakers you want, see “Selecting the speaker system” (page 49).
Set IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to and connect speakers with a nominal
impedance of
4Ω 8 ohms or higher
8Ω 16 ohms or higher
Note
Be sure to turn the power off before adjusting the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.

•YES
If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
•NO
If you did not connect a sub woofer, select
“NO”. The front speakers are automatically
set to “LARGE” and you cannot change this
setting. This activates the bass redirection
circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from
other speakers.
Note
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend that you set
the cut off frequency on the sub woofer as high as
possible.
x XXXXX (Front speakers size)
•LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
•SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
front channel bass frequencies from the sub
woofer. When the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, the center, surround and surround
back speakers are also automatically set to
“SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).
