0 IMAX Enhanced (v p. 319)
This IMAX Enhanced product have met stringent performance standards established by IMAX and DTS in order to create a consistent and higher bar for sound performance. DTS has developed a special method for reproducing an IMAX signature sound experience in the consumer’s home. This method combines a unique conversion process for IMAX theatrical audio mixes utilizing an enhanced DTS codec technology. The IMAX theatrical audio format with point source surround speakers closely matches the speaker configuration most consumers have in their homes today. Coupled with DTS audio technology, IMAX Enhanced audio products will ensure the best and most accurate audio reproduction over 5.1 or more speaker channels.
0 Audyssey LFCTM (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 186)
Audyssey LFCTM solves the problem of low frequency sounds disturbing people in neighboring rooms or apartments. Audyssey LFCTM dynamically monitors the audio content and removes the low frequencies that pass through walls, floors and ceilings. It then applies psychoacoustic processing to restore the perception of low bass for listeners in the room. The result is great sound that no longer disturbs the neighbors.

0 Discrete subwoofers and Audyssey Sub EQ HTTM (v p. 206)
The unit has four subwoofer output capability and can adjust the level and delay for each subwoofer individually. Audyssey Sub EQ HTTM makes the integration seamless by first compensating for any level and delay differences between the four subwoofers and then applying Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to four subwoofers together for improved deep bass response and detail.

Connecting speakers
Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.

Before connecting speakers

NOTE
0 Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.
0 Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other. (“Protection circuit” (v p. 323))
0 Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 9 in the separate “Quick Start Guide”) is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)
0 Use speakers with an impedance of 4 ­ 16 /ohms.
0 When connecting speakers with different impedances, set the impedance based on the speaker with the lowest impedance.

Settings

Tips

Appendix

NOTE
0 Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 ­ 6 /ohms.
1. Press and hold the main unit’s STATUS and ZONE3 SOURCE at the same time for at least 3 seconds. “zVideo Format ” appears on the display.
2. Press Cursor Down on the main unit three times. “zSp. Impedance <8ohms>” appears on the display.
3. Use Cursor Left or Cursor Right on the main unit to select the impedance.

8ohms (Default):

Select when the impedance for all of the connected speakers is 8 /ohms or over.

6ohms:

Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 6 /ohms.

4ohms:

Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 4 /ohms.

4. Press the main unit’s ENTER to complete the setting.

Connecting 7.1-channel speakers: Bi-amp connection of front speakers

This system plays back 7.1-channels. You can use the bi-amp connection for front speakers. Bi-amp connection is a method to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminal and woofer terminal of a speaker that supports bi- amplification. This connection enables back EMF (power returned without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a higher sound quality.
You can connect speakers for up to 9-channels for MAIN ZONE. When you connect speakers for 8 or more channels, the output speakers automatically switch according to the input signal and sound mode.

Connecting a TV
Connect a TV to this unit so that the input video is output to the TV. You can also enjoy audio from the TV on this unit. How to connect a TV depends on the connectors and functions equipped on the TV.

Appendix

Is the TV equipped with an HDMI connector? Yes
Is the TV compatible with the ARC / eARC?z

Yes

No

No

“Connection 1 : TV equipped with an HDMI
connector and compatible with the ARC / eARC” (v p. 62)

“Connection 2 : TV equipped with an HDMI
connector and incompatible with the ARC / eARC” (v p. 63)

You cannot connect the TV to this unit.

z What is ARC and eARC? ARC (Audio Return Channel) sends audio back to this unit using the same HDMI cable that sends video from this unit to your TV. This allows this unit to process the sound from your TV’s built-in tuner and apps. TVs with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) port provide additional support for high bitrate multichannel audio (Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS:X). Please refer to your TV Owner’s Manual for details about eARC support for your particular model.

NOTE 0 Use a TV with a 2 prong power plug for this unit. Do not connect a TV with a 3 prong power plug, as this may cause noise.
