Connecting speakers

Connect the speakers placed in your room to the unit. 

Speakers to be connected

If you have nine speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers (*1) or rear 
presence speakers (*2). If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back 
speakers (*3) or front presence speakers (*4).

• You can also connect up to 2 subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit. When using 2 subwoofers, 

configure the “SWFR Layout” setting (p.116) in the “Setup” menu after connecting the power cable to an AC 
wall outlet.

• To use an external power amplifier (Hi-Fi amplifier, etc.) to enhance speaker output, see “Connecting an 

external power amplifier” (p.33).

Cables necessary for connection (commercially available)

Speaker cables (x the number of speakers)

Audio pin cable (two for connecting two subwoofers)

Connection diagram

Refer to the following diagram and connect the speakers to the unit.

• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SINGLE jack (L side).

Caution

• Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer before connecting the 

speakers.

• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with the 

unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, 
“Check SP Wires” will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.
