If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers (*1) or
presence speakers (*2).
If you have five speakers, use two of them as surround speakers (*3) or presence
speakers (*4).
Note
▪ “5.1.2-channel” denotes “standard 5.1-channel plus 2 for overhead speaker channels”.
▪ When using surround back speakers, be sure to connect the surround back left and right speakers. Using
only one surround back speaker was discontinued.
▪ You can also connect up to 2 subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit. Two subwoofers connected to
the unit output the same sounds.
Speaker requirements
Speakers and subwoofers to be connected to the unit must meet the following
requirements:
• (U.S.A. and Canada models only)
Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When
connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6
Ω
MIN”. For
details, see the following:
– “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.17)
• (Except for U.S.A. and Canada models)
Use speakers with an impedance of at least 6
W
.
• Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier.
Note
▪ Prepare the number of speakers according to your speaker system.
▪ Be sure to connect the front left and right speakers.
