Caution

If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

Make sure no exposed speaker wire is touching the rear panel, this may cause the receiver to turn off automatically.

SELECT

 

 

 

 

Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system option:

SP A – Sound is output from the speakers connected to the A speaker terminals (multichannel playback is possible).

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

SP AB – Sound is output from speaker system A (no sound is output from the Center and the Surround speaker), the two speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed for stereo output from speaker systems A and B.

Note

1 • The 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).

• All speaker systems (except speaker system B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.
