Connecting your equipment
Determining the speakers'
application
This unit permits you to build various surround
systems, in accordance with the number of
speakers you have.
! Be sure to connect speakers to the front left
and right channels (L and R).
! It is also possible to only connect one of the
surround back speakers (SB) or neither.
! If you have two subwoofers, the second
subwoofer can be connected to the
SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two
subwoofers increases the bass sound to
achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In
this case, the same sound is output from the
two subwoofers.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.
Important
! The Speaker System setting must be made if
you use any of the connections shown below
other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on
page 69 ).
! Sound does not come through simultaneously
from the front height, front wide, speaker B
and surround back speakers. Output speakers
are different depending on the input signal or
listening mode.

A 7.2 ch surround system connects the left and
right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker
(C), the left and right front height speakers
(FHL/FHR), the left and right surround speak-
ers (SL/SR), the left and right surround back
speakers (SBL/SBR), and the subwoofers (SW 1/
