Speaker Configuration

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.

*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 39) or manually (see page 82).

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.
