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. 276))
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.

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

“Connection 1 : TV equipped with an HDMI
connector and compatible with the ARC / eARC” (v p. 50)
“Connection 2 : TV equipped with an HDMI
connector and incompatible with the ARC / eARC” (v p. 51)
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.
