• Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center.
If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2)
don't use the front height speakers / front wide
speakers, we recommend placing the surround
speaker right beside you.
• If you intend to connect only one surround back
speaker, place it directly behind you.
• Place the left and right front height speakers at least
one meter directly above the left and right front
speakers.

Connecting the speakers

Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a
positive (+) and negative (–) terminal. Make sure to
match these up with the terminals on the speakers
themselves.
CAUTION
• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching any
uninsulated parts.
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal.
If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel
it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

1 Twist exposed wire strands together. (fig. A)

Important
• Please refer to the manual that came with your
speakers for details on how to connect the other end
of the speaker cables to your speakers.
• Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer. It is not
possible to connect using speaker cables.
CAUTION
• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed.
This not only improves sound quality, but also
reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from
speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of
external shocks such as earthquakes.
