Determining the speakers’ application
This unit is equipped with speaker terminals for 11 channels, allowing users to select a variety of speaker layouts/
usage patterns according to their tastes. The terminals to which the speakers should be connected differ accord-
ing to the speaker layout/usage pattern. Select one speaker layout/usage pattern before connecting the speakers.
For instructions on connections, see
Installing your speaker system
.
However, the
5.2 +ZONE 2+ZONE 3
and
Multi-ZONE Music
settings can be used separately according to the situa-
tion. Normally set this to
5.2 +ZONE 2+ZONE 3
and use this for multi-zone/multi-source playback, and when using
the system for home parties for example, set this to
Multi-ZONE Music
to associate all zones with the main zone.
!
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.
!
A sound field appropriate to any type of speaker placement can be enjoyed with Dolby Atmos. However, we
recommend a speaker system with ceiling speakers for a better sound field.
Important
!
The
Speaker System
setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown below other than [A] (see
).
!
The speakers from which sound is output can be switched according to the speaker layout/usage pattern
(sound is not necessarily output from all connected speakers). Use the
OUT P.
button to switch the speakers
from which sound is output. For details, see
