Connecting Your Speakers

Enjoying Home Theater
You can use two sets of speakers with the HT-R520: speaker set A and speaker set B. Speaker set A (HTP-520) should be installed in your main listening room and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS surround material. Each speaker must be positioned at a specic location in your listening room to get the best from surround sound material. The following illustration shows the best positions for your surround-sound speakers. Speaker set B can be installed in another room and used with stereo and mono material. Speakers can be positioned in the standard position for stereo speakers or however you like.

Connecting Your SpeakersContinued
Before you connect your speakers, read the following: Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Read the instructions supplied with your speakers. Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative () terminals only to negative () terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound odd. Only use speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than 8 ohms may damage the HT-R520. Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided. Be careful not to short the positive and negative connections. Doing so may damage the HT-R520. Dont connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the HT-R520. If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair, connect it to either the left or right speaker terminals, not both.

Connecting speaker Set A

The HT-R520s positive (+) speaker terminals are colorcoded for ease of identication. (The negative () speaker terminals are all black.)
Speaker terminal Color Front left Front right Center White Red Green Speaker terminal Surround left Surround right Surround back Color Blue Gray Brown
Unscrew the terminal. Fully insert the wire. Screw the terminal tight.

Connecting Speaker Set B

Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. While pressing the lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever. Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Description

Component video cable
Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing the best picture quality. (Some TV manufacturers label their component video sockets slightly differently.) S-Video separates the luminance and color signals and provides better picture quality than composite video. Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment. Use only dedicated composite video cables.

Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the HT-R520 using the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, and multichannel. When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the HT-R520 doesnt convert between formats. For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.

Using Component Video Use a component video cable to connect the HT-R520s COMPONENT VIDEO 1/2/3 IN to the component video output on your video component, as shown. Your TV must also be connected via component video.

Notes: Initially, the VIDEO 2 input source is assigned to the OPTICAL 2 DIGITAL IN. If you connect to a different digital audio input, or you connect to only the analog VIDEO 2 input, youll need to change the input assignment (see page 31). To connect an LD player with an AC-3RF output, youll need a commercially available demodulator. Using a Coaxial or Optical Connection Use an optical digital audio cable to connect the HT-R520s DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 2 to the optical output on your video component, as shown. OR Use a coaxial digital audio cable to connect the HT-R520s DIGITAL IN COAXIAL to the coaxial output on your video component, as shown.
Using Analog Connections If your video component doesnt have digital audio outputs, or you want to record from it, youll need to make the following analog audio connections. Use an analog audio cable to connect the HT-R520s VIDEO 2 IN L/R inputs to the analog audio outputs on your video component, as shown.
Connecting a Camcorder, Games Console, etc.
You only need to use one of the following video connection methods. Using S-Video Use an S-Video cable to connect the HT-R520s VIDEO 3 INPUT S VIDEO input to the S-Video output on your camcorder, games console, etc., as shown.

Adjusting the DTS Neo:6 Music Mode
Center Image DTS Neo:6 derives a center-channel signal from stereo material, either analog or digital. In Music mode, the center speaker is intended to augment the left and right speakers, allowing them to faithfully reproduce the original stereo mix. For this reason, the center channel sound is not fully subtracted from the left and right channels. With this function, you can adjust the amount of subtraction depending on your room layout and personal preference.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to complete all settings. Press the [SETUP] button. Setup closes.
Advanced FunctionContinued
0 to 5: Adjustable range. When set to 5, nothing is subtracted from the left and right channels. When set to 0, the left and right channel levels are halved (6 dB), making the center channel more dominant, particularly useful when the listener is off-center. This function has no effect on the level of the center speaker.
Digital Input Signal Formats
The following table shows the display indicators for each supported digital signal format.
Format Dolby Digital DTS PCM Display
Adjusting the PL II or PL IIx Music Mode
The following Panorama, Dimension, and Center Width parameters can only be adjusted while the PL II Music or PL IIx Music listening mode is selected. These parameters cannot be adjusted if youre using the Pro Logic IIx listening mode for 6.1-channel playback from a 5.1-channel source. Panorama With this function, you can extend the front stereo image to the surround speakers to provide a wraparound effect, especially useful when not much sound is being output by the surround speakers. Dimension With this function, you can move the soundeld backward or forward. 0 to 6: Adjustable range. When set to 3, the soundeld is in the normal position. Choose a lower setting to move the soundeld forward Choose a higher setting to move it backward. If the stereo image is too wide, or theres too much surround information, try moving the soundeld forward to achieve a better balance. If the stereo image is too narrow, or it sounds almost like its in mono, try moving the soundeld backward. Center Width With Pro Logic II/Pro Logic IIx decoding, the centerchannel signal is normally output by the center speaker. If a center speaker is not used, the decoder divides the center signal equally between the front left and right speakers, producing whats known as a phantom center. With this function you can choose to have the centerchannel signal output by the center speaker only, by the front left and right speakers only (phantom center), or by a mix of the two. 0 to 7: Adjustable range. When set to 0, the center-channel signal is output by the center speaker only. When set to 7, its output by the front left and right speakers only (phantom center). In home theaters, adding some width to the center channel can improve the balance between the center and front left and right speakers. Most stereo material will benet from appropriate use of this function.
