•Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+ and -). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

•For installing the speakers, refer to “Speaker placement” on page 11.

•After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout.(For details, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP” on page 49.)

•You can connect the surround and the surround back speakers with various combinations according to the usage purpose.

Surround speakers A and B

•This unit allows you to connect two different sets of surround speakers and to place them in the appropriate locations in your room, resulting in enjoying both movie soundtracks and music listening with optimum surround sound and no compromise.

•However, if you have only a set of surround speakers, connect them to either SURROUND A or SURROUND B SPEAKER terminals according to your taste.

Surround back speakers

•When using only one surround back speaker , you should connect it to SURROUND BACK LEFT channel. In this case, you can connect a subwoofer without built-in amplifier to SURROUND BACK RIGHT channel.(For details, refer to “When selecting the SUBWOOFER” on page 53.)

•If you assign the power amplifier for the surround back channels to the ROOM 2, this unit can drive the speakers in another room(ROOM 2).

(For details, refer to “ROOM 2 connections” on page 12. and “SETTING THE POWER AMP ASSIGN” on page 49.)

Caution :

•For safe amplifier operation, in case of using either surround A or surround B speakers, use all the speakers with impedance of over 6 ohms. However, in case of using both surround A and surround B speakers, use only these speakers with impedance of over 12 ohms and other speakers with impedance of over 6 ohms.

•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.
