1Placing speakers

Select the speaker layout for the number of speakers that you are using and place the speakers and subwoofer in your room. This section describes the representative speaker layout examples.

Caution

•(U.S.A. and Canada models only)

Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”. In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers. For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.14).

•(Except for U.S.A. and Canada models)

Use speakers with an impedance of at least 6 Ω.
