• Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.
• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker
cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural
with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers
correctly.
Setting up the system
Speaker impedance
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the
rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching
impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other
than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in
malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver.
Speaker placement
Front (Left and Right) Speakers
Place at the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers
are required for all surround modes.
Center Speaker
Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and
helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback.
Surround (Left and Right) Speakers
Place at the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening
position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the
listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere.
Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer
Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Surround Back (Left and Right) Speakers
Place the speakers directly at the rear of the listening position. The
optimum position depends mainly on the room condition.
• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers
listed above, if you don't have a Center Speaker or a Subwoofer, you
can divide those signals between the available speakers in the
speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround
reproduction from the speakers you have available.
