Connecting the speakers

A complete setup of six 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. 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 for surround sound. If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 42) to LARGE.

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. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6 to 16 (please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 ).

You can use the speakers connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. Make sure to review Hints on speaker placement on page 21 when placing the speakers in another room. See Switching the speaker system on page 22 for the listening options with this setup.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.
