Connecting the speakers
A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here but everyone’s home
setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below.
1
The receiver
will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three
speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left
to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (
+/–) terminals on the receiver match
those on the speakers. 2 You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6 Ω to 16 Ω
(please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 69 if you plan to use speakers with an
impedance of less than 8
Ω).
Caution
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker
terminal. Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.
Note
1 If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 41) to LARGE.
2 If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the surround back left ( L) terminal.
