Speaker Configuration
The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer 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 automatically (➔ page 24) or manually (➔ page 59).

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.
You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.
The same signal is output from each jack.
Tip
•If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.
