Getting Started
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to
connect the power supply.
Before Installation
General
Be sure your hands are dry.
Turn the power off to all components.
Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.
Locations
Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture.
The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚ and 35˚ C (23˚ and 95˚ F).
Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause
overheating and damage the receiver.
Handling the receiver
Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are supplied with the
receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces supplied.
Remote Control (1)
Batteries (2)
AM Loop Antenna (1)
FM Antenna (1)
Audio Signal Attenuating Cord (1)
AC Plug Adaptor (1) (except for Peoples’s Republic of China)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
Setting the Voltage Selector Switch
Before connections, always do the following first if necessary.
How to set the voltage selector:
Set the correct voltage for your area with the voltage
selector switch on the rear panel. Use a screw driver to
rotate the switch so the number the arrow is pointing at is
the same as the voltage where you are plugging in the
receiver.

Connecting the FM and AM Antennas
FM Antenna Connections
Notes:
Make sure the antenna
conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting
cords and power cord. This
could cause poor reception.
If reception is poor, connect
an outdoor single vinyl-
covered wire to the AM EXT
terminal. (Keep the AM loop
antenna connected.)
Note:
If reception is poor, connect the
outside antenna.
Before attaching a 75
coaxial
cable (the kind with a round wire
going to an outside antenna),
disconnect the supplied FM wire
antenna.
Extend the FM wire antenna horizontally.
FM Antenna
Outside FM Antenna Wire
AM Antenna Connections
AM Loop Antenna
Turn the loop until you
have the best reception.
Snap the tabs on the loop
into the slots of the base to
assemble the AM loop.
How to strip the 75 coaxial cable and connect it to the FM
terminals
1. Strip back the outside covering of the 75 coaxial cable to expose the braided
metallic mesh about 20 mm (13/16 inches).
2. Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single connector as shown in the illustration
above.
3. Strip the insulation about 10 mm (7/16 inches) back from the central wire.
4. Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire to the FM terminals, as shown in the
illustration above.

Getting Started
Connecting the Speakers
You can connect the following speakers:
Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.
One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.
One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to emphasize human
voices).
One subwoofer to enhance the bass.
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the speakers listed above, set the speaker setting
information properly to obtain the best possible surround effect. For details,
see page 24.
For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect the (–) and (+) terminals on the rear
panel to the (–) and (+) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer,
see page 12.
Connecting the front speakers
Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker
signal cable first, and then, connect the front speakers to the
FRONT SPEAKERS terminals by using the cables.
You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the
FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals, and another pair to the FRONT
SPEAKERS 2 terminals).
CAUTION:
Use speakers with the
SPEAKER IMPEDANCE
indicated by the speaker
terminals.

About the speaker impedance
CAUTION:
When connecting speakers, use
speakers with the same
SPEAKER IMPEDANCE
indicated by the speaker
terminals.
Note:
The required speaker
impedance of the front speakers
does differ depending on
whether both the FRONT
SPEAKERS
1
and FRONT
SPEAKERS
2
terminals are
used or only one of them is
used.
Getting Started
CASE 1 When you connect only one set of front speakers
Use front speakers with 4 — 16 ohm impedance.

components. If you want to connect a component not listed in the table below, refer to
the manual supplied with it.
Audio component connections
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, and the red plug to the audio right jack.
Audio Components Video Components
Turntable DVD (Digital Video Disc) player
CD player TV

See also page 54 for detailed information about the connection and the COMPU

See also page 55 for detailed information about the connection and the TEXT
COMPU LINK remote control system.
If an earth cable is provided for your
turntable, connect the cable to the
screw marked GND on the rear panel.
Notes:
Any turntables incorporating a
small-output cartridge such as
an MC (moving-coil type) must
be connected to this receiver
through a commercial head
amplifier or step-up
transformer. Direct connection
may result in insufficient
volume.
You can connect either a
cassette deck or an MD
recorder to the TAPE/MD
jacks. When connecting an
MD recorder to the TAPE/MD
jacks, change the source
name, which will be shown on
the display when selected as
the source, to “MD.” See page
23 for details.
When connecting an audio/
video component (ex.: Video
CD player) with “karaoke”
singing along — function, use
the audio signal attenuating
cord supplied with this
receiver. If not, sound may be
distorted.
EN01-19.RX-774P[U]/1 98.3.10, 2:49 PM14

English
Video component connections
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and
the yellow plug to the video jack.
If DVD player and TV have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-
video cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video
input/output terminals will give you better picture playback quality.
IMPORTANT:
This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input
terminals for the DVD player connection.
You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals.
However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input
terminal are output only through the composite video output terminals, while
the ones from the S-video input terminal are output only through the S-video
output terminal.
Therefore, if your DVD player is connected to the receiver only through the S-
video input terminal, you cannot record the picture from the DVD player on the
VCR.
In addition, if the TV and the DVD player are connected to the receiver through
the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the DVD
player on the TV.
TV connection (as the monitor)
Note:
When connecting an audio/
video component (ex.: Video CD
player) with “karaoke” — singing
along — function, use the audio
signal attenuating cord supplied
with this receiver. If not, sound
may be distorted.
