Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Conﬁguration

For the best surround-sound experience, you should con- nect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

Number of speakers:	2	3	4	5	6	7

Front left	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓

Front right	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓

Center		✓		✓	✓	✓

Surround left			✓	✓	✓	✓

Surround right			✓	✓	✓	✓

Surround back*					✓

Surround back left						✓

Surround back right						✓

*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub- woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.

To get the best from your surround-sound system, you need to set the speaker settings by using the supplied setup microphone (see page 39).

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 the TV/screen, while the sur- round 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	1		TV/screen	1

1. Subwoofer			6. Surround right speaker
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

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s SUB- WOOFER PRE OUT to an input on your powered sub- woofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external ampliﬁer, connect the SUB- WOOFER PRE OUT to an input on the amp.
