Determining the speakers’ application
Surround sound with a strong sense of presence can be
enjoyed by connecting 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer. It is
also possible to achieve high sound quality using bi-amp
connections and to enjoy music in other rooms using the
MULTI-ZONE feature. High sound quality can be
achieved with a minimum of two speakers.
• Be sure to connect speakers to the front left and right
channels (
and
).
• The
Surr Back System
setting must be made if you
use any of the connections shown below other than
[1] (see
Selecting the Surr Back system
on page 27).
[1] 7.1ch surround connection
(Simple connection & Best surround)
*Default setting
These connections prioritize surround sound with a
speaker layout like that in a movie theater.
•
Surr Back System setting: Normal
(default)
• If you have six speakers, either only connect one
surround back speaker (6.1 ch surround), or connect
for the 7.1-channel setting as shown on the diagram
below but without the center speaker.
[2] 5.1ch surround & Front Bi-amping connection
(High quality surround)
Bi-amping connection of the front speakers for high
sound quality with 5.1-channel surround sound.
•
Surr Back System setting: Front Bi-Amp
*Bi-amp compatible speaker
[3] 5.1ch surround & ZONE 2 connection
(Multi Zone)
With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy
5.1-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo
playback on another component in ZONE 2. (The
selection of input devices is limited.)
•
Surr Back System setting: ZONE 2
[4] 5.1ch surround & Speaker B connection
With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy
5.1-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo
playback of the same sound on the B speakers.
•
Surr Back System setting: Speaker B
Other speaker connection
• Your favorite speaker connections can be selected
even if you have fewer than 5.1 speakers.
• When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers
with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the
front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency
component is played from the front speakers, so the
speakers could be damaged.)
•
After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto
MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See
Automatically setting up for surround sound
(Auto MCACC & Full Band Phase Control)
on page 46.
