Other speaker connections

!Your favorite speaker connections can be selected even if you have fewer than 5.2 speakers (except front left/ right speakers).

!When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be damaged.)

!After connecting, be sure to conduct the Full Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure. See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 45.
