Note

- When connecting this unit to a device that is compatible with 8K and 4K 120Hz video, use a certified “Ultra High Speed HDMI cable”. If you use a different HDMI cable, the video may not display or other problems may occur.
What’s in the box
The included sound calibration microphone stand is convenient for performing speaker calibration. Using your own tripod or the supplied Sound calibration microphone stand enables settings to be automatically configured to the optimum listening environment, providing exceptionally high performance.
Attach the included cable labels
- The supplied cable labels include labels for the speaker and HDMI cables.
- Attach a cable label to each cable that matches the speakers and HDMI devices being connected, as shown below.
- This makes it easy to identify and properly connect the cables between your components.
Setup
Connect the antennas
- Place the antenna evenly over the antenna terminal located at the upper left or right corner of the rear panel.
- Turn the antenna clockwise until it is fully connected. Do not over tighten.
- Rotate the antenna upwards for the best possible reception.
The antennas are required for both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functions.
Optional
- If you are connecting the AVR to a wired network, connect an Ethernet cable (not included) between the AVR and your router.
- Do not connect the Ethernet cable if you are connecting the AVR to a wireless network.
Connect the power cord
- Place the AVR near your TV and connect the power cord.
Connect the AVR to your TV
Using a high quality HDMI cable*, connect one end to the HDMI port labeled “eARC” or “ARC” on your TV. Connect the other end to the HDMI OUT TV 1 port on your AVR.
What is ARC and eARC?
Audio Return Channel or “ARC” sends audio back to the AVR using the same HDMI cable that sends video from your AVR to your TV. This allows your AVR to process the sound from your TV’s built-in tuner and apps. TVs with an Enhanced Audio Return Channel or “eARC” 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.
- For 4K TVs, we recommend using an HDMI cable labeled “High Speed” and “with Ethernet” .
- For 8K TVs, we recommend using an HDMI cable labeled “Ultra High Speed”.
