*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L terminal.

No matter how many speakers you use, two powered subwoofers are recommended for a really powerful and solid bass. To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 56) or manually (see page 90).

Note:

Front high and front wide speakers produce no sound at the same time.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).

The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

•Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Connecting Powered Subwoofers

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s PRE OUT: SW1, SW2 to an input on your powered sub- woofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT: SW1, SW2 to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with each jacks respectively. Level and distance can be set individually for each output. If you use one subwoofer, connect it to PRE OUT: SW1.
