System Connections

Connecting Antennas

To listen to radio stations, connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna as illustrated below.

FM antenna

Indoor Antenna

1 Connect the FM indoor antenna to the FM

ANTENNA terminal.

2 Change the position of the antenna until you get

the best reception of your favorite FM stations.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Remove the indoor antenna if it is connected.

2 Connect the FM outdoor antenna to the FM

ANTENNA terminal.

Warning

• The CATV connecting to this apparatus shall separate

• If you connect the COMPONENT VIDEO INs to your video components, it is easier to do so by following

the default settings: COMPONENT IN 1 : BD/BDR, COMPONENT IN 2 : DVD/DVR. If your component video

connections are different from the default setting, you should assign the COMPONENT VIDEO INs you used

with the “Setting the Input Setup” on page 60.

• There are two types of video jacks (COMPONENT, (composite) VIDEO) for analog video connections and the

HDMI connectors for digital video and audio connections. Connect them to the corresponding video jacks

according to their capability. For details on HDMI connection, see page 17.

• For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows: “HDMI” > “COMPONENT” > “(composite) VIDEO”.

• When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y” to “Y”, “PB/CB” to “CB”(or “B-Y”, “PB”) and

“PR/CR” to “CR”(or “R-Y”, “PR”).

• When recording video program sources through VIDEO OUT 1 (BD/BDR) jack or viewing ROOM 2 source

through ROOM 2 OUT jack, you must use the same type of video jacks that you did connect to video playback

components such as BD player, etc.

• For connecting MONITOR (TV, projector, etc.), see “Connecting a monitor” on page 17.

• The jack of VIDEO 1 (BD/BDR) may also be connected to other video (recording) components. For details, refer

• When you make a digital connection, you can select one of the HDMI MONITOR OUTs depending on your

situation. Otherwise, you can select either COMPONENT OUT or (COMPOSITE) VIDEO OUT for analog

connection.

• For details on HDMI connection, see below.

HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) connection

 You can connect the source component (BD player, DVD player, etc.) to the display component (TV,

projector, etc.) through this receiver with using a commercially available HDMI cord.

 The HDMI connection can carry uncompressed digital video signals and digital audio signals.

 The HDMI video stream signals (video signals) are theoretically compatible with DVI-D. When connecting to

a TV monitor, etc., equipped with DVI-D connector, it is possible to connect using a commercially available

HDMI-DVI converter cord.

 Since the HDMI-to-DVI connection cannot carry any audio signals, you should make audio connections to

play the audio signals on the component equipped with DVI-D connector. For details, refer to the operating

instructions of the component.

 If you connect the HDMI INs to your video components, it is easier to do so by following the default

settings: HDMI 1 : BD/BDR, HDMI 2 : DVD/DVR, HDMI 3 : STB/CBL, HDMI 4 : GAME, HDMI 5 : AUX. If

your HDMI connection is different from the default setting, you should assign the HDMI INs you used with

the “Setting the Input Setup” on page 60.

Copyright protection system

y This receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), technology to protect

copyright of digital video signals against illegal duplication. HDCP must also be supported on the

components connected to the receiver.

y HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Denition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks

of HDMI licensing LLC.

Note

• For stable signal transfer, we recommend using HDMI cables that are a maximum of 5 meters in length.

• Among the components that support HDMI, some components can control other components via the HDMI

connector. However, this receiver cannot be controlled by another component via the HDMI connector.

System Connections

18

Note (Continued)

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the

component that is connected.

• The video signals will not be output properly if the connected component is incompatible with HDCP.

• If the resolutions of the video signals which are output from the MONITOR OUTs and your monitor TV are not

matched, the picture is not clear, natural or displayed. In this case, change the setting of the resolution on either

this receiver or the source component (BD player, etc.) to one which the monitor TV can handle. For details, see

“Video Scaling” of “Setting the Input Setup“ on page 62 or the operating instructions of the source component.

• When you want to enjoy only the picture on your TV, not the sound, you should set the HDMI AUDIO OUTPUT to

“SPEAKER” not to output the digital audio signal from the HDMI MONITOR OUT of this receiver. For details, see

“HDMI Audio Output” of “Setting the HDMI Setup” on page 63.

About video conversion

y The receiver is equipped with a function that up-converts the video signals to the higher quality video

signals and outputs them from the MONITOR OUTs.

y Depending on how to make video connections between this receiver and video components, you should

set the VIDEO MODE correctly to output the video signals from the connected MONITOR OUTs. For

details, see “Video Mode” of “Setting the Input Setup” on page 61.

Connecting Audio Components

• Select one of the audio connectors (COAX. IN or AUDIO IN), and connect the cables.

• If you connect the DIGITAL INs to your components, it is easier to do so by following the default settings: OPT.

IN 1 : BD/BDR, OPT. IN 2 : DVD/DVR, COAX. IN 1 : AUX, COAX. IN 2 : CD. If your DIGITAL connections are

different from default settings, you should assign the DIGITAL INs you used with the “Digital Audio Assign” of

“Setting up the Input Setup” on page 61.

• For details on DIGITAL INs and OUT (OPT. and COAX.), see below.

Note

• Do not connect the turntable with MC type cartridge directly. If so, use a separate head amplier or step-up transformer.

About digital INs and OUT

 The OPTICAL and the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTs of the components that are connected to this receiver can

be connected to the DIGITAL INs.

 A digital input should be connected to the components such as a BD player, DVD player, etc. capable of

outputting DTS Digital Surround, Dolby Digital or PCM format digital signals, etc.

 If the component with OPTICAL IN jack is connected to the OPTICAL OUT jack of this receiver, you

can record the high quality sound of CDs, etc. without degradation. For details, refer to the operating

instructions of the connected component.

 When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL connection, be sure to use a 75Ω COAXIAL cord, not a conventional

AUDIO cord.

 Some of the commercially available optical ber cords cannot be used for the equipment. If there is an

optical ber cord which cannot be connected to your equipment, consult your dealer or nearest service

organization.

Note

• Be sure to make either an OPTICAL or a COAXIAL DIGITAL connection on each component.

• Depending on the digital audio signal format input into the HDMI IN connector, some digital signals cannot be output

from the OPTICAL OUT jack.
