Connection of banana plugs (For VR-9080)

1 Secure.2 Insert.

• Sound will not be heard if the speaker terminal is not fully secured.

Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.

If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers correctly.

Speaker impedance

After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver.

For optimum results, place the Surround Back speakers together for THX Select2 Cinema, THX MusicMode, and THX Games.

*For Surround Back speaker, you may place either two Surround Back speakers (Surround Back Left Speaker and Surround Back Right Speaker) for 7.1 channel surround sound system or one Surround Back Speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound system.

Front (Left and Right) Speakers

Place at the front left and right of the listening position. Front Speakers are required for all surround modes.

Center Speaker

Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion.

Surround (Left and Right) Speakers

Place at the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere.

Subwoofer

Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center speaker. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speak- ers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)

Surround Back Speaker/s

Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the same height as the left and right surround speakers.

Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a Center speaker or a Subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround

reproduction from the speakers you have available.
