About Dolby Atmos Enabled speakersDolby Atmos Enabled speakers reflect the sound off the ceiling to allowthe sound to come from over your head by using a special upward-pointing speaker that is placed on the floor.You can enjoy the Dolby Atmos 3D sound even in an environment wherespeakers cannot be installed on the ceiling.

.



0 This unit is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X which offers an even widerand deeper surround sensation.

0 The “Speaker Virtualizer” must be set to “On” for Dolby Atmos playback with 5.1-channel speaker configurations or less. (v p. 198)

0 IMAX DTS:X / DTS:X can be selected regardless of the speaker configuration.0 Auro-3D recommends adding FRONT HEIGHT and SURROUND HEIGHT

speakers to a 5.1 speaker configuration. Optionally, you may substitute REARHEIGHT, Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers instead of FRONT HEIGHT andSURROUND HEIGHT speakers for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D playback.

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

Before connecting speakersNOTE

0 Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting thespeakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.

0 Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speakerterminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rearpanel or if the + and - sides touch each other. (“Protection circuit” (v p. 348))

0 Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing socould 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 terminalswhile the “Setup Assistant” is running.)

0 Use speakers with an impedance of 4 – 16 Ω/ohms.

NOTE0 Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 – 6

Ω/ohms.1. Press and hold the main unit’s ZONE SELECT and STATUS at the same time

for at least 3 seconds.“zVideo Format ” appears on the display.

2. Press i on the main unit three times.“zSp. Impedance ” appears on the display.

3. Use o or p on the main unit to select the impedance.8ohms(Default):

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

6ohms: Select when the impedance for any of theconnected speakers is 6 Ω/ohms.

4ohms: Select when the impedance for any of theconnected speakers is 4 Ω/ohms.4. Press the main unit’s ENTER to complete the setting.



o Connecting the speaker cablesCarefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and besure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

1 Peel off about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of sheathing from thetip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wiretightly or terminate it.

.

2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.

.

3 Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into thespeaker terminal.

.

4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.

.

o Connecting the subwooferUse a subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer. Two subwoofers canbe connected to this unit.To use two subwoofers, set “Subwoofer” to “2 spkrs” in the “SpeakerConfig.” setting. (v p. 251)The level and distance can be set separately for Subwoofer 1 andSubwoofer 2.

Speaker configuration and “Amp Assign” settingsThis unit has a built-in 11-channel power amplifier. In addition to the basic 5.1-channel system, a variety of speaker systems can be configured bychanging the “Amp Assign” settings to suit the application, such as 7.1-channel systems, bi-amp connections and 2-channel systems for multi-zoneplayback.

Bi-amp connectiono 9.1-channel playback (bi-amp connection of front speakers)

This system plays back 9.1-channels. You can use the bi-amp connection for front speakers. Bi-amp connection is a method to connect separateamplifiers to the tweeter terminal and woofer terminal of a speaker that supports bi-amplification. This connection enables back EMF (power returnedwithout being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a higher sound quality.
