If you have two surround back speakers THX recommends placing them together and the same distance from your listening position so you can take advantage of the ASA feature. For more details see Advanced Speaker Array (ASA) on page 74.

See also Surround Back Speaker Position on page 48 to make the settings that will give you the best sound experience when using the Home THX modes (on page 32).

Caution

Do not connect a TV set, monitor, heater, or similar appliance to this unit's AC outlet.

Do not connect appliances with high power consumption to the AC outlet in order to avoid overheating and fire risk. This can also cause the receiver to malfunction.

Since a subwoofer or power amplifier can exceed the 100W maximum when playing sources at a high volume, this type of equipment should not be connected to the AC outlet.

Note

This unit should be disconnected by removing the power plug from the wall socket when not in regular use (ex. when on vacation).
