Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified

service personnel.

IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 10 amp fuse is fitted in this plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 10 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI

to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug

must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of

safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in

your plug, proceed as follows;

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter L or coloured RED.

How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

Hints on the speaker placement

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The

following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

Placing the speakers

Further, by using an external amplifier, you can connect the left and right surround back

speakers (SBL/SBR) to boost your system up to a 7.1 ch surround system.

the TV.

• You can also connect one surround back speaker (SB) and enjoy a 6.1 ch surround system.

• If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the

speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV.

To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

• If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place

them at a narrower angle.

• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is

localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line

formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.

• It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the

size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.

• Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than

your ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For

DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home

theater playback.

• If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a

7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix

function (see Setting the Up Mix function on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).

• Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the

front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

a. This layout is available only when the additional amplifier is connected to the unit and the

surround back speakers are connected to the amplifier. For details, see Connect the surround back

speakers on page 8.

• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality,

but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over

or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

• To connect the surround back speakers, an additional amplifier is required. Connect the

additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURR BACK outputs of this unit and connect the

surround back speakers to the additional amplifier (see Connect the surround back

speakers on page 8).

VSX-421_SYXCN_QSG_En.book 7 ページ ２０１１年３月７日　月曜日　午後４時２５分

Connecting your equipment

Connecting the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but

using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround

sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on

the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the

receiver match those on the speakers.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric

shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord

before touching any uninsulated parts.

• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the

speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the

power to cut off as a safety measure.

Connect the surround back speakers

Connect the PRE OUT SURR BACK outputs of the unit and additional amplifier to add a

surround back speaker.

• You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single

speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

Making cable connections

Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit (as

shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field

produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a

humming noise from the speakers.

• Before making or changing connections, switch off the

power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

• Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into

standby.

HDMI cables

Both video and sound signals can be transmitted

simultaneously with one cable. If connecting the player and

the TV via this receiver, for both connections, use HDMI

cables.

Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.

• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try

adjusting the resolution settings on your component or

display. Note that some components (such as video game

units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this

case, use a (analog) composite connection.

• When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i

or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be

received.
