0 IMAX Enhanced (v p. 299)
This IMAX Enhanced product have met stringent performance standards established by IMAX and DTS in order to create a consistent and higher bar for sound performance. DTS has developed a special method for reproducing an IMAX signature sound experience in the consumer's home. This method combines a unique conversion process for IMAX theatrical audio mixes utilizing an enhanced DTS codec technology. The IMAX theatrical audio format with point source surround speakers closely matches the speaker configuration most consumers have in their homes today. Coupled with DTS audio technology, IMAX Enhanced audio products will ensure the best and most accurate audio reproduction over 5.1 or more speaker channels.
0 Audyssey LFCTM (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 169)
Audyssey LFCTM solves the problem of low frequency sounds disturbing people in neighboring rooms or apartments. Audyssey LFCTM dynamically monitors the audio content and removes the low frequencies that pass through walls, floors and ceilings. It then applies psychoacoustic processing to restore the perception of low bass for listeners in the room. The result is great sound that no longer disturbs the neighbors.

Connecting 7.1-channel speakers: Bi-amp connection of front speakers

This system plays back 7.1-channels. You can use the bi-amp connection for front speakers. Bi-amp connection is a method to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminal and woofer terminal of a speaker that supports bi-amplification. This connection enables back EMF (power returned without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a higher sound quality.
You can connect speakers for up to 9-channels for MAIN ZONE. When you connect speakers for 8 or more channels, the output speakers automatically switch according to the input signal and sound mode.

Connect a TV to this unit so that the input video is output to the TV. You can also enjoy audio from the TV on this unit. How to connect a TV depends on the connectors and functions equipped on the TV.

Appendix

Is the TV equipped with an HDMI connector? Yes
Is the TV compatible with the ARC / eARC?z

Yes

"Connection 1 : TV equipped with an HDMI
connector and compatible with the ARC / eARC" (v p. 58)

"Connection 2 : TV equipped with an HDMI
connector and incompatible with the ARC / eARC" (v p. 59)

You cannot connect the TV to this unit.

z What is ARC and eARC? ARC (Audio Return Channel) sends audio back to this unit using the same HDMI cable that sends video from this unit to your TV. This allows this unit to process the sound from your TV's built-in tuner and apps. TVs with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) 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.

NOTE 0 Use a TV with a 2 prong power plug for this unit. Do not connect a TV with a 3 prong power plug, as this may cause noise.

o Reference Level Offset

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard. Recommended setting levels for content are shown below.

0 dB (Film Reference) (Default): 5 dB : 10 dB :
15 dB :

Optimized for content such as movies.
Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music. Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference. Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Speakers
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called "Audyssey® Setup". You do not have to perform Audyssey® Setup when you have already performed "Speaker Calibration" in "Setup Assistant". To set up the speakers manually, use "Manual Setup" on the menu. (v p. 198)

Audyssey® Setup
To perform measurement, place the Sound calibration microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions). When measuring the second and subsequent positions, install the Sound calibration microphone within 60 cm of the first measurement position (main listening position).

o About the main listening position
The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey® Setup, place the Sound calibration microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
o About Audyssey Sub EQ HTTM
The Audyssey Sub EQ HTTM performs corrections based on the volume level and the distances of multiple subwoofers, and processes the Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 signal to reproduce a powerful low frequency sound. To run Audyssey Sub EQ HTTM you must set "Measure (2 spkrs)", "Measure (3 spkrs)" or "Measure (4 spkrs)" and set "Subwoofer Mode" to "Standard" in "Channel Select". (v p. 190).

NOTE
0 Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows and turn off the power on electronic devices (radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, etc.). The measurements could be affected by the sounds emitted by such devices.
0 During the measurement process, place cell phones outside the listening room. Cell phone signals could disrupt the measurements.
0 Do not stand between the speakers and Sound calibration microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. Also, install the Sound calibration microphone at least 50 cm away from the wall. Failure to do so will result in inaccurate readings.
0 During the measurement process, audible test tones will come from the speakers and subwoofer(s), but this is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in the room, these test signals will increase in volume.
0 Operating VOLUME d f on the remote control unit or MASTER VOLUME on the main unit during the measurements will cancel the measurements.
0 Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected. Unplug the headphones before performing Audyssey® Setup.

About HDMI
HDMI is an abbreviation of High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which is an AV digital interface that can be connected to a TV or amplifier. With the HDMI connection, high definition video and high quality audio formats adopted by Blu-ray Disc players (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD) can be transmitted, which is not possible with the analog video transmission. Furthermore, in the HDMI connection, audio and video signals can be transmitted through a single HDMI cable, while in conventional connections it is necessary to provide audio and video cables separately for connection between devices. This allows you to simplify the wiring configuration that tends to be quite complex in a home theater system. This unit supports the following HDMI functions.
0 Deep Color An imaging technology supported by HDMI. Unlike RGB or YCbCr, which uses 8 bits (256 shades) per color, it can use 10 bits (1024 shades), 12 bits (4096 shades), or 16 bits (65536 shades) to produce colors in higher definition. Both devices linked via HDMI must support Deep Color.
0 x.v.Color This function lets HDTVs display colors more accurately. It enables display with natural, vivid colors. "x.v.Color" is trademark of Sony Corporation.

0 3D This unit supports input and output of 3D (3 dimensional) video signals of HDMI. To play back 3D video, you need a TV and player that provide support for the HDMI 3D function and a pair of 3D glasses.
0 4K / 8K This unit supports input and output of 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) and 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels) video signals of HDMI.
0 Content Type It automatically makes settings suitable for the video output type (content information).
0 Adobe RGB color, Adobe YCC601 color The color space defined by Adobe Systems Inc. Because it is a wider color space than RGB, it can produce more vivid and natural images.
0 sYCC601 color Each of these color spaces defines a palette of available colors that is larger than the traditional RGB color model.

0 ARC (Audio Return Channel) This function transmits audio signals from the TV to this unit through the HDMI cable and plays back the audio from the TV on this unit based on the HDMI Control function.
If a TV without the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections, video signals of the playback device connected to this unit are transmitted to the TV, but this unit can not play back the audio from the TV. If you want to enjoy surround audio for TV program, a separate audio cable connection is required.
In contrast, if a TV with the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections, no audio cable connection is required. Audio signals from the TV can be input to this unit through the HDMI cable between this unit and the TV. This function allows you to enjoy surround playback on this unit for the TV.
0 eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) The eARC function is an extension of the conventional ARC function. It utilizes dedicated eARC function control to play back television audio from this unit without passing through HDMI control. Furthermore, the eARC function can transmit multichannel linear PCM, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD, DTS:X and other audio formats not compatible with conventional ARC. Connecting to an eARC function-compatible television also enables enjoyment of higher-quality surround playback of the audio content played from your television.
