DSEE HX (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX)*

The receiver restores signals in the micro region of compressed sound sources by up-sampling

the sampling frequency and expanding the bit depth to the equivalent of a maximum of 192 kHz/

24 bits, letting you enjoy CDs and lossy compressed sound sources such as MP3 files in expressive

sound quality closer to the original.

High-definition BLUETOOTH music playback (LDAC)*

LDAC allows approximately three times more data to be transmitted than with the previous

BLUETOOTH A2DP-SBC (328 kbps, 44.1 kHz). The receiver supports wireless playback

(transmission/reception) of high-quality sound when speakers, headphones, a Walkman, or a

smartphone that supports LDAC are connected to the receiver via a BLUETOOTH connection.

Reproduction of authentic impact and realistic sense of immersion

in movies (Sound Optimizer)*

Sound Optimizer calibrates the disparity in acoustic frequency characteristic between movie

production and playback caused by different volume levels, reproducing the impact and

immersive surround effect that the movie's sound engineers intended even when it is played

back at low volume levels in a home.

* For details, see the Help Guide.

Connecting Speakers

This receiver allows you to connect up to 7.1-channel system.

The speaker layout diagram is a guide for the ideal speaker placement. You do not need to adjust

your speaker placement exactly the same as the diagram.

Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables are

not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals.

When you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching movies.

If the auto standby function is set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically based on the level of the input

signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output.

If you have two subwoofers, you can connect them to both SUBWOOFER OUT jacks.

How to connect speaker cables

Be sure to connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals of the speaker and this receiver.

Also, be sure to tightly twist the speaker wire strands and insert them securely into the speaker

terminals.

Be sure not remove too much of the speaker cable sleeves, so as to prevent the wires of the speaker cables

from touching each other.

Connect speaker cables properly with the polarities (+/–) matched between the receiver and the speakers.

Improper connection may result in fatal damage to the receiver.
