Connecting Your Speakers
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should con- nect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s SUB- WOOFER PRE OUT to the input on your powered sub- woofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to the amp’s input.

SUBWOOFER
PRE OUT
*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L terminals.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub- woofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this automati- cally (see page 55) or manually (see page 86).
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward your TV or screen, while the surround back left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.
Dipole speakers | | | Normal speakers | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | 1 | | | | | 1 |
| TV/screen | | | TV/screen | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |

2. Front left speaker | 7. Surround back left |
3. Center speaker | | | | speaker | | |
4. Front right speaker | 8. Surround back right |
5. Surround left speaker | | speaker | | |
Attaching the Speaker Labels
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)
Speaker terminal | Color |
Front left, Zone 2 left | White |
| |
Front right, Zone 2 right | Red |
| |
Center | Green |
| |
Surround left | Blue |
| |
Surround right | Gray |
| |
Surround back left | Brown |
| |
Surround back right | Tan |
| |
The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All you need to do then is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.
