Installing your speaker system

To take full advantage of the receiver’s surround sound capabilities connect front, center, surround and surround back speakers, as well as a subwoofer. Although this is ideal, other configurations with fewer speakers—no subwoofer or no center speaker, or even no surround speakers—will work. At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that your

main surround speakers should always be connected as a pair, but you can connect just one surround back speaker if you like (it must be connected to the left surround back terminal). You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 4–16Ω(please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 77 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 6Ω).

Connecting the speakers

Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a positive (+) red, and negative (–) white terminal. For proper sound you should take care to match these up with the terminals on the speakers themselves.
