•If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the UP Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 37).

•Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

Caution

•SPAB – Sound is output from speaker system A, the two speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed only when the STEREO or A.L.C mode is selected for stereo output from speaker systems A and B.2

•SP – No sound is output from the speakers but from the headphone jack.

•Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

SURROUND BACK PRE OUT (multichannel playback is possible).

•SPB – Sound is output from the two speakers connected to speaker system B (only stereo playback is possible).

Note

1The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Speaker Setting on page 42. However, if SPB is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).

2You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω. However, be aware that only the front speakers are set to a value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω when you select SPAB.
