1: Installing speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 9.1 channel system (9 speakers and one sub woofer). Refer to “Quick Setup Guide” supplied with this operating instruction for speaker systems other than 5.1/7.1/9.1 channel systems.

Enjoying a 5.1/7.1/9.1 channel system

To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded sound in the Surround EX format if you connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two surround back speakers (7.1 channel.) (see “Using the surround back decoding mode (SURR BACK DECODING)” on page 95).

Tips

•When you connect a 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.

•Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
