*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub- woofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings by using the supplied setup microphone (see page 38).
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 the TV/screen, while the surround back left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

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