3: Connecting the audio/video components How to connect your components This section describes how to hook up your components to this receiver. Before you begin, refer to “Component to be connected” below for the pages which describe how to connect the audio/video components. After connect all your components, proceed to “4: Connecting the antennas” (page 21). Component to be connected To connect See Audio components • Super Audio CD player/ CD player • Portable audio such as MP3 player, etc.
Connecting audio components Getting Started The following illustration shows how to connect audio components such as MP3 player, Super Audio CD player or CD player.
Notes • When listening to a component connected to the VIDEO 1 IN/PORTABLE AUDIO IN/AUTO CAL MIC jack on the front panel of this receiver, sound may be distorted or interrupted. This is not a malfunction and will depend on the connected component. • If the sound from the component connected to the VIDEO 1 IN/PORTABLE AUDIO IN/AUTO CAL MIC jack is very low, you may increase the volume level. However, before you select other component, be sure to reduce the volume level to avoid damaging your speaker.
Connecting video components Blu-ray disc player TV B DIGITAL Getting Started The following illustration shows how to connect video components such as DVD player, satellite tuner or blu-ray disc player.
Notes • To input multi channel digital audio from the DVD player, set the digital audio output setting on the DVD player. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the DVD player. • As this receiver does not have analog audio input jacks for DVD, connect your DVD player to the DIGITAL COAXIAL DVD IN jack on the receiver. To output sound from front left/right speakers only, press 2CH. • When connecting optical digital cords, insert the plugs straight in until they click into place.

Notes • To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the receiver and other components.
5: Preparing the receiver and the remote Setting the voltage selector If your receiver has a voltage selector on the rear panel, check that the voltage selector is set to the local power supply voltage. If not, use a screwdriver to set the selector to the correct position before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet. Performing initial setup operations Before using the receiver for the first time, initialize the receiver by performing the following procedure.
Insert two R6 (size-AA) batteries in the RM-AAU013 remote commander. Observe the correct polarity when installing batteries. Notes • Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place. • Do not use a new battery with old ones. • Do not mix alkaline batteries and other kinds of batteries. • Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Tips • You can also fix the optimizer microphone to a tripod (not supplied) and place the tripod at your listening position. • Be sure to remove any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers. • When you face the speaker towards the optimizer microphone, you will get a more accurate measurement.

x Sampling frequency To convert analog audio to digital, analog data should be quantified. This process is called sampling, and the number of times per second the analog data is quantified is called the sampling frequency. A standard music CD stores data quantified at 44,100 times per second, which is expressed as a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a higher sampling frequency means better sound quality.
