Step 1: Speaker System Hookup
You can enjoy surround sound by connecting 5 speakers (front L/R speakers, center speaker,
rear L/R speakers) and active subwoofer to the receiver. If you do not connect 5 speakers and
active subwoofer to the receiver, the receiver offers the means to optimize signal depending on
the number of connected speakers. When you connect 2 speakers to the receiver, connect the
speakers to the SPEAKERS FRONT L/R jacks.
Notes
• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal: 3 to 3, # to #, L to L, and R to R jack.
• Use the high performance speakers.
• Use the same size and performance speakers for the front, center, and rear speakers.
• To obtain the best possible surround sound, specify the speaker parameters (number, distance, level, etc.) on page
28.
