When you connect speakers, connect them to the respective terminals as follows, according to your speaker layout.
■
5.1-channel
Connecting an external amplifier to the SURROUND
BACK L/R jacks of the PRE OUT terminals allows you to
create the maximum of 7.1-channel surround system with
a surround back channel.
For a 6.1-channel system, connect the external amplifier to
the SURROUND BACK L jack of the PRE OUT
terminals.
For a 7.1-channel system, connect it to the SURROUND
BACK L/R jacks.
You can adjust the surround back speaker volume with a
volume control of the external amplifier. To obtain the
balanced sound during playback, set the speaker output
characteristics in advance using the Yamaha Parametric
Room Acoustic Optimize (YPAO, see page 18) or
“Speaker Setup” of the setup menu (see page 39).
