Determining the speakers’ application

This unit permits you to build various surround systems, in accordance with the number of speakers you have.

! Be sure to connect speakers to the front left

and right channels (L and R).

! It is also possible to only connect one of the

surround back speakers (SB) or neither.

! If you have two subwoofers, the second

subwoofer can be connected to the

SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two

subwoofers increases the bass sound to

This plan replaces the left and right front height speakers shown in [A] with the left and right front wide speakers (FWL/FWR).

It is not possible to produce sound simultaneously from the front height or front wide speakers and the surround back speakers.

This surround system produces a true-to-life sound over a wider area.

achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In

this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.

Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.

Important

!The Speaker System setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown below other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on page 66 ).

!Sound does not come through simultaneously from the front height, front wide, speaker B and surround back speakers. Output speakers are different depending on the input signal or listening mode.

[A]7.2 channel surround system (Front height)

*Default setting

! Speaker System setting: Normal(SB/FH)

A 7.2 ch surround system connects the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR), the left and right surround speakers (SL/SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR), and the subwoofers (SW 1/ SW 2).

It is not possible to produce sound simultaneously from the front height or front wide speakers and the surround back speakers.

This surround system produces a more true-to- life sound from above.

With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy 5.2-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo playback of the same sound on the B speakers. The same connections also allow for 7.2-channel surround sound in the main zone when not using the B speakers.

[D]5.2 channel surround system & Front Bi-amping connection (High quality surround)

! Speaker System setting: Front Bi-Amp Bi-amping connection of the front speakers for high sound quality with 5.2-channel surround sound.

[E]5.2 channel surround system & ZONE 2 connection (Multi Zone)

! Speaker System setting: ZONE 2

With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy 5.2-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo playback on another compo- nent in ZONE 2. (The selection of input devices is limited.)
