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 indi-
cated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or
damage to the speakers or receiver.
Speaker placement
Subwoofer
Front speakers
: Place to 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. Be sure to connect a
center speaker when using the Dolby 3 Stereo mode.
Surround speakers
: Place to 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.

• 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.
