Surround left and right speakers

Connect the surround speakers to the SURROUND speaker terminals even if you place the surround speakers behind the listening position. For the smooth and unbroken sound field behind the listening position, place the surround left and right speakers farther back compared with the placement in the 7.1-channel speaker layout. The surround back channel signals are directed to the surround left and right speakers when “SUR.B L/R SP” is set to “NONE” (see page 69).

For other speaker combinations

You can enjoy multi-channel sources with sound field programs by using a speaker combination other than the 7.1/ 6.1/5.1-channel speaker combinations.

Use the automatic setup feature (see page 31) or set the “SPEAKER SET” parameters in “MANUAL SETUP” (see page 68) to output the surround sounds at the connected speakers.
