Step 2: Connecting speakers

Connect your speakers to the receiver. You can connect up to a 5.1-channel speaker system to the receiver. To fully enjoy cinema quality multi-channel surround sound, you need five speakers (two front, one centre, and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer.

Notes

The subwoofer is not a directional device, therefore you can place it wherever you want.

When connecting the speaker cables, make that you attach the supplied speaker plugs to the cables. Refer to the separate sheet for details.

Speaker impedance

To fully enjoy multi-channel surround sound, make sure that you connect speakers of a nominal impedance of 6 or more to the FRONT, CENTER, and SURROUND jacks of the receiver. If you are unsure of the nominal impedance of your speakers refer to their documentation. (The nominal impedance of most speakers appears on their rear.)
