*When using a single speaker for the surround back speaker

You can enjoy the surround sound by one surround back speaker. When using one surround back speaker,

–set “SB OUT” to “<1SPK>” (see page 19) and

–connect the surround back speaker to the left surround back speaker terminal. (No sound comes from the speaker if you connect it to the right surround back speaker terminal.)

Connecting the powered subwoofer

By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or

reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in digital software.

Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cord with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

After connecting all the speakers and/or a subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible surround effect. For details, see pages 17 to 21.

NOTE

You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.
