Connecting the speakers

A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here but everyone’s home

setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below.

1

The receiver

will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three

speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left

to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (

+

/

–

) terminals on the receiver match

those on the speakers.

2

You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16

Ω

(please

see

Switching the speaker impedance

on page 63 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of

less than 8

Ω

).

Caution

•Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker

terminal. Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.

Note

1If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see

Speaker Setting

on page 40) to large.

2If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the surround back left (

L

) terminal.
