2: Setting/Connecting Speakers

Set up and connect the speakers according to the number of speakers that you are using.

This manual describes the installation, connections, and setting procedures using the stereo speaker system with A/B speakers as an example.

Note

• Connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms.

• When you connect all the speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, set “SP IMP.” to

“8 OHM”. In other connections, set it to “6 OHM”. For details, see “6: Setting the Speakers” (page 19).

• Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

• Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables are not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals or on the receiver rear panel. If the wires are touching, it may result in damage to the amplifier circuit.

How to connect speaker cables

Connect speaker cables with the polarities + (red)/– (black) matched between the receiver and the speakers as illustrated below.

Strip the jacket to 10 mm (13/32 in) at each end of the speaker cables, and then tightly twist the speaker wire strands. Insert the stripped ends of the cables into the terminals as illustrated below.

10 mm

(13/32 in)

Note

• Be sure not remove too much of the speaker cable sleeves, so as to prevent the wires of the speaker cables from touching each other.

• Improper connection may result in fatal damage to the receiver.

Registering BLUETOOTH devices to the receiver (Pairing operation)

Pairing is an operation in which

BLUETOOTH devices are registered to each other before connection. Follow the steps below to pair the BLUETOOTH device and the receiver. Once the BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need to pair them again. When the pairing is complete,

proceed to “Listening to sound on a paired

BLUETOOTH device” (page 22).

1

Place the BLUETOOTH device within 1 meter (3.3 feet) of the receiver.

2

Press BLUETOOTH PAIRING.

“PAIRING” flashes on the display panel. Perform step 3 within five minutes, otherwise pairing will be canceled. If pairing is canceled, repeat this step.

3

Perform pairing on the

BLUETOOTH device to detect the receiver.

For details, refer to the operating instructions of your BLUETOOTH device.

A list of detected devices may appear on the BLUETOOTH device display depending on the type of BLUETOOTH device. The receiver is displayed as

“STR-DH190”.

4

Select “STR-DH190” on the

BLUETOOTH device display.

If “STR-DH190” is not displayed, repeat this process from step 1.

When the BLUETOOTH connection is established, the paired device name appears on the display panel.

5

Start playback on the

BLUETOOTH device.

6

Adjust the volume.

Adjust the volume of the BLUETOOTH device first. If the volume level is still too low, press



+/– to adjust the volume level of the receiver.

To cancel pairing operation

Pairing operation will be canceled when you switch the input.

Note

• Some applications of BLUETOOTH device cannot be controlled from the receiver.

• If a passkey is required on the display of the

BLUETOOTH device in step 4, enter “0000”. The passkey may be called “Passcode”, “PIN code”,

“PIN number” or “Password”.

• You can pair up to ten BLUETOOTH devices. If an

11th BLUETOOTH device is paired, the least recently connected device will be replaced by the new one.

Tip

• You can operate a BLUETOOTH device using



To disconnect a BLUETOOTH connection

The BLUETOOTH connection will be disconnected when you perform either of the following operations:

• Switch the input.

• Turn off the BLUETOOTH function on the

BLUETOOTH device.

• Press BLUETOOTH PAIRING.

• Turn off the receiver or the BLUETOOTH device.

• Press BLUETOOTH on the receiver again.

Note

• The functions may differ depending on the specifications of the BLUETOOTH device.

• The audio playback on this receiver may be delayed from that on the BLUETOOTH device because of the characteristics of the

BLUETOOTH wireless technology.

Tip

• You can enable or disable AAC codec reception

from BLUETOOTH device (page 27).

• You can connect to the receiver from a paired

BLUETOOTH device when “BT POWER” is set to

“BT ON” (page 28).

Receiving RDS

Broadcasts

(European and Asia-Pacific models only)

This receiver allows you to use Radio Data

System (RDS), which enables FM radio stations* to send additional information along with the regular programming signal. This receiver offers convenient RDS features, such as Program Service name display.

* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same type of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS services in your area, check with your local radio stations for details.

Simply select a station on the FM band using Automatic Tuning

(page 24) or Tuning with Preset

Station (page 25).

When you tune to a station that provides

RDS services, “RDS” lights up and the

Program Service name appears on the display panel.

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to does not transmit the RDS signal or if the signal strength is weak.

Tip

While a Program Service name is displayed, you can check the frequency by pressing DISPLAY

repeatedly (page 30).

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.

On power sources

• Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.

The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate on the rear of the receiver.

• If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at a qualified service shop.

On heat buildup

Although the receiver heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this receiver at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

On placement

• Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver.

• Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.

• Do not place the receiver near device such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the receiver is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that device, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna (aerial).)

• Use caution when placing the receiver on surfaces that have been specially treated

(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On operation

Before connecting other device, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

On replacement of parts

In the events that this receiver is repaired, repaired parts may be retained for reuse or recycling purposes.

Communication

Supported BLUETOOTH version and profiles

Profile refers to a standard set of functions for various BLUETOOTH product features.

See “BLUETOOTH section” in

“Specifications” (page 37) for the

BLUETOOTH version and profiles supported by this receiver.

Effective communication range

BLUETOOTH devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (33 feet)

(unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective communication range may become shorter under the following conditions.

• When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between the devices with a BLUETOOTH connection

• Locations where a wireless LAN is installed

• Around microwave ovens that are in use

• Locations where other electromagnetic waves are generated

Effects of other devices

BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN

(IEEE 802.11b/g/n) device use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your

BLUETOOTH device near a device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference may occur. This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this happens, try the following remedies:

• Use this receiver at least 10 meters

(33 feet) away from the wireless LAN device.

• Turn off the power to the wireless LAN device when using your BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters (33 feet).
