Installing your speaker system

To take full advantage of the receiver’s surround sound capabilities connect front, center and surround speakers, as well as a subwoofer. Although this is ideal, other configurations with fewer speakers—no subwoofer or no center speaker, or even no surround speakers—will

work. At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that surround speakers should always be connected as a pair; do not connect just one surround speaker. All the speakers you use should have a nominal impedance between 6–16Ω.
