Connecting the AV receiver
Speaker Configuration
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.
*
If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 L terminals.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically
(see page 50) or manually (see page 80).
Note:
Front high, surround back and front wide speakers produce no sound at the same time.
Attaching the Speaker Labels
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all
red (the negative (–) speaker terminals are all black).
The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded
and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of
each speaker cable in accordance with the above table.
Then all you need to do is to match the color of each
label to the corresponding speaker terminal.
(North American, Taiwan, Australian and Asian mod-
els)
• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker ter-
minal before inserting the banana plug.
• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center
hole of the speaker terminal.
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s PRE
OUT: SUBWOOFER to an input on your powered sub-
woofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and
you’re using an external amplifier, connect the PRE
OUT: SUBWOOFER to an input on the amp.
You can connect the powered subwoofer with two PRE-
OUT: SUBWOOFER jacks respectively.
The same signal is output from each jack.
