possibilities, but it doesn't have to be difficult. This
chapter explains the kinds of components you can
connect to make up your home theater system.

for the SC-LX73 are the same except where noted.

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.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.
