Connecting the speakers
A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown below, but everyone’s home setup will vary.
Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers
(the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best
for surround sound. If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see
Speaker Setting
on page 46)
to large.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (
+
/
–
) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.
• You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16
Ω
(please see
Switching the speaker impedance
on
page 73 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of
less than
8
Ω
).
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.
Caution
• These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching any
uninsulated parts.
• Make sure no bare speaker wire is touching the back
panel when the unit is switched on. The power may
cut off as a safety measure.
Note
• If you only have one surround back speaker, hook it
up to the surround back left (
Single
) terminal.
• If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers,
or setting up a separate speaker system in another
room, read through
Surround back speaker setting
on
page 40 and make sure to connect your speakers as
necessary (these connections are explained in
Other
connections
on page 60).
• If you are using a THX certified subwoofer use the
THX INPUT
jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer
has one) or switch the filter position to
THX
on your
subwoofer.
