1: Installing speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel system (7 speakers and one sub woofer).

Enjoying a 5.1/7.1 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).

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.

•If you connect the SUR PRE OUT jack to another power amplifier, you are recommended to connect the surround speakers to the SPEAKER jacks of that amplifier. Do not connect the surround speakers to this receiver.
