The component video terminals (color-difference video terminals) output red (PR), blue (PB), and luminance (Y) signals  
separately. The terminals reproduce colors with greater accuracy for this reason.  
Note  
• The input video signal can be sent out through an output terminal of the same type only.  
• You can change the settings for the digital input terminal and Component Video 3 terminal according to the equipment to connect ( page 39).

Auto speaker setup using the setup microphone  
Using the supplied setup microphone, you can measure such items as distance from the seating area, polarity and size  
and make adjustments for connected speakers.  
Keep quiet during the auto speaker setup. Conversational voice, air-conditioning noise and small sounds made  
by winds may cause an error or produce an incorrect setting. Speakers output loud test signals during the auto  
speaker setup. Make sure to keep little children out of the room.  
• Mute theTV volume before starting the auto speaker setup.  
• When the subwoofer is connected, make sure it is turned on. (There are subwoofer models that turn off automatically.)  
• Set the subwoofer volume to the normal listening level.  
• Select“YES ” in“Making bi-wire setting” (➔ page 38) when you connect the unit to bi-wire speakers.

With the setup microphone, the unit automatically sets the following.  
DISTANCE : The unit measures the distance between each speaker and the seating area and corrects the sound delay in the  
seating area.The maximum speaker distance for correcting the delay is 15 meters (45 feet).  
POLARITY : The unit checks the polarity of each speaker and, when the polarity is wrong, corrects it.  
Select “CHECK NO ” in “Setting the unit against automatic polarity adjustment” (➔ page 38) before starting the auto  
speaker setup when you do not want the unit to adjust polarity automatically.  
SIZE / LEVEL / FREQUENCY : The unit measures acoustic characteristics of the room including speaker characteristics (size,  
speaker connection status, output level and lowpass filter settings) and adjusts them.  
Note  
• The setup microphone is sensitive to heat. Keep it away from direct sunlight and avoid placing it on top of the unit.  
• These settings remain effective after the unit goes off.  
• The setup microphone jack is for use with the setup microphone only. Do not connect other microphones.  
• The volume may reach an extremely high level when you repeat the auto speaker setup.  
When the auto speaker setup is finished, check the volume before starting playback.  
•
Setting the connection status and adjusting the level are the only available adjustment for the subwoofer through the auto speaker setup.  
Such factors as speaker types, room conditions and speaker placement may cause the unit to set speaker size,  
lowpass filter frequency and other items differently for the same type of speakers or produce settings that differ from  
the actual characteristics of respective speakers.  
When sound from speakers seems odd, check the following settings.When you find undesirable settings, correct them  
manually.  
• See “Setting speakers and their sizes”, “Setting distances” and “Setting the lowpass filter” (➔ pages 37 and 38).  
Error messages  
When one of the following error messages appears, press [–AUTO, TEST] to cancel and perform the auto speaker setup again.

Glossary  
Analog  
DTS-ES  
Audio signals produced from L/R audio output terminals of  
general equipment is called analog audio.  
Improved version of DTS.You can playback 6.1-channel sound  
by adding surround center to 5.1-channel.  
CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded  
DTS-HD  
Audio technology enhanced in sound quality and functions  
based on DTS (used at movie theaters).You can playback  
DTS-HD sound as DTS on conventional AV amplifiers due to  
backward compatibility.  
Media)  
This is the copyright protection technology which prevents file  
copy of DVD audio.  
Decoder, Decode  
Depending on the encoding methods and bitrates, DTS is  
classified into three types: DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD  
High Resolution Audio and DTS Digital Surround.  
The format itself supports up to 2048 channels, but the  
maximum number of channels for next-generation DVD (Blu-ray  
Disc, etc.) is 8ch (7.1ch).  
Decoder is the device to enable us to hear audio data that is  
encoded on DVD, etc., as a normal audio signal. This process  
is called Decode.  
Deep Color  
This unit incorporates HDMI™ (V.1.3 with Deep Color)  
technology that can reproduce greater color gradation (4096  
steps) when connected to a compatible TV.  
You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colors, with  
smooth, detailed gradation and minimal color banding.  
[A lower color gradation (256 steps), without deep color, will be  
reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support deep  
color.]  
Dynamic range  
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of  
sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and  
the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)  
HDMI enables you to transmit digital audio and video signals  
using a single cable.  
Digital  
You can also transmit control signals using HDMI connections.  
DVD recorders, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, and CD players are  
usually equipped with digital output terminals. Connect through  
the digital terminal to enjoy digital surround systems such as  
Dolby Digital and DTS.  
LPCM (Linear PCM)  
This is one of the PCM methods and the uncompressed audio  
signal encoded digitally. This method is used for music CD, etc.  
Multi-channel LPCM signals used for Blu-ray Disc, DVD audio,  
etc. enable playback with higher-sound quality.  
Dolby Digital  
Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby  
Laboratories, Inc. Compatible with surround sound as well as  
2-channel stereo sound. With this technology, you can keep  
massive amount of audio data efficiently.  
Optical  
Using optical fiber cable for digital signal input/output from  
DVD, CD, etc., provides better sound quality for playback or  
recording compared to analog.  
Dolby Digital +  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
This is one of the methods that enables analog sounds to be  
converted to digital sounds.  
Improved version of Dolby Digital. It offers higher-audio  
quality, support for multi-channel (5.1-channel and more) and  
increased bitrates.  
Sampling frequency  
Dolby Digital Surround EX  
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound  
wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits  
(digital encoding).  
Improved version of Dolby Digital.You can playback 6.1-channel  
sound by adding surround center to 5.1-channel compatible  
with Dolby Digital.  
Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per  
second, so larger numbers mean faithful reproduction of the  
original sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic /Dolby Pro Logic x  
This technology converts any 2-channel source recorded  
including Dolby surround into 5.1/7.1 or 6.1-channel sound with  
more realistic sound effects.You can enjoy old movies recorded  
in conventional 2-channel sounds (excluding monaural sounds)  
as they are converted to dynamic 5.1/7.1 or 6.1-channel sound.  
Surround signal  
Audio signal made up with front speakers, center speaker and  
surround speakers.  
x.v.Color  
Dolby TrueHD  
This is a name of products compliant with ISO Standard for  
wider color space: “xvYCC”.  
Dolby TrueHD is an advanced version of MLP lossless method  
used for DVD audio. This is a high-quality audio method which  
enables complete playback of audio data made through a  
mastering studio.  
1080p  
This is one of the digital hi-vision images.  
1080 is the number of effective scanning lines that constitute  
the actual screen. This enables every detail to be beautifully  
expressed. Images are less flickered with progressive method  
that scans in order from the top.  
Dolby TrueHD can only be used for Blu-ray Disc, etc, but is not  
applicable to DVD audio format.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
Surround system used in most movie theaters. Separation  
works well between channels, resulting in realistic surround  
effects.  
DTS 96/24  
This is higher-quality DTS with 96 kHz/24 bit and used for  
DVD-Video. 48 kHz/24 bit playback is possible on systems  
incompatible with DTS 96/24 due to backward compatibility.
