To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal, the stripped end of another speaker cord, or the metal parts of the speaker. Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

2 Pull the speaker cord from the

connector.

3 Twist the stripped ends of the speaker
cord you want about 10 mm and insert the speaker cord into the connector.

Correct

Make sure that the speaker cord is inserted according to its polarity : + to + and to. Otherwise the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

(+) ()

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
4 Remove the connector from the flat

surface.

Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals. To avoid the speaker cord from coming off the speaker connector do not use a smaller-sized speaker cord. We recommend that you use the AWG24 to AWG18 speaker cord size. use the same speaker cord size for all the speaker connectors. twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords. insert the speaker cord securely to the back of the speaker connector.
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 18.

Clearing the receivers memory
Before using your receiver for the first time, or when you want to clear the receivers memory, do the following.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one whose name is currently displayed on the receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
1 Press ?/1 to turn off the receiver. 2 Hold down ?/1 on the receiver for

5 seconds.

To avoid damaging your speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume before you turn off the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the volume remains at the level you turn off the receiver.
INITIAL appears in the display. The following are reset to their factory settings. All settings in the SET UP, LEVEL and TONE menus. All sound field parameters. All preset stations. The sound fields memorized for each INPUT SELECTOR and preset stations. The master volume is set to VOL MIN.
Performing initial setup operations
Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the receivers memory. Then specify the speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.
Before using your receiver for the first time, adjust MAIN MENU parameters so that the receiver correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 43. See pages 1418 for speaker settings and pages 3031 for other settings.
To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection (see page 19).
Multi channel surround setup
For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, the receiver lets you to place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 meters from the listening position (A). You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.). However, we recommend that you place the surround speakers behind you.
When placing surround speakers to your side (long room)

Normal Speaker and Micro Satellite Speaker
For HT-SL55, HT-SL50 and HT-SL40, the speaker size and the sub woofer selection has been preset to MICRO SP. (Micro Satellite Speaker) according to the supplied speaker system. When you select MICRO SP., the speaker size and sub woofer selection has been configurated as follows:

Multi channel surround setup (continued)
x Surround speaker placement (

PL. XXXX)*

This parameter lets you specify the height of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound surround modes. Refer to the illustration below.
Select PL. LOW if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section A. Select PL. HIGH if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section B.
The surround speaker placement parameter is designed specifically for implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound modes with virtual elements. With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker placement is not as critical as other modes. All modes with virtual elements were designed under the premise that the surround speaker would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing towards the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the sound fields with virtual elements will not be as effective. Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, like wall reflections. Therefore, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and listen to the effect each setting has on your listening environment. Choose the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select PL. LOW and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.
* These parameters are not available when Surround speaker size SL SR is set to NO.
Only when you use the speaker system other than the supplied one, be sure to set the following parameters.
For details on NORM. SP. (Normal Speaker), see page 14.

x Sub woofer selection (

S.W. XXX)
If you connect a sub woofer, select YES. If you do not connect a sub woofer, select NO. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
R x Front speaker size ( L XXXXX) If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select LARGE. Normally select LARGE.
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select SMALL to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. When the front speakers are set to SMALL, the center and surround speakers are also automatically set to SMALL (unless previously set to NO). When the sub woofer is set to NO, the front speakers are automatically set to LARGE and you cannot change the setting. x Center speaker size ( XXXXX) If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select LARGE. Normally select LARGE. However, if the front speakers are set to SMALL, you cannot set the center speaker to LARGE.

Precautions

On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen
This speaker system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets.

Check that the DVD software, etc. is recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS format. If you connect the DVD player, etc. to the digital input jack on this system, check the audio setting (for digital audio output) of the component. Check that the audio track is correctly selected on the DVD player. (Check the audio setting of the DVD menu.)
The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed.
Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

Outdoor FM antenna

Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely. Adjust balance parameters in the LEVEL menu.
There is severe hum or noise.
Check that the speakers and components are connected securely. Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters away from a TV set or fluorescent light. Move your TV away from the audio components. The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.
Ground wire (not supplied) To ground
Radio stations cannot be tuned in.
The remote does not function.
Check that the antennas are connected securely. Adjust the antennas and connect an external antenna if necessary. The signal strength of the stations is too weak (when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use Direct tuning. No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning preset stations). Preset the stations (see page 27).

RDS does not work.*

Make sure that youre tuned to an FM RDS station. Select a stronger FM station.
The RDS information that you want does not appear.*
The AUX and AAC BI-LING buttons on the remote are not available. Point the remote at the remote sensor on the receiver. Remove any obstacles in the path between the remote and the receiver. Replace both batteries in the remote with new ones, if they are weak. Make sure you select the correct input selector on the remote. If the remote is set to operate the TV only, use the remote to select a source or component other than TV before operating the receiver or other component.
Contact the radio station and find out whether they actually provide the service in question. If so, the service may be temporarily out of order.
