Speaker connection

Install speakers and connect them to this unit (vpage 21, 24).

Speaker installation

Determine the speaker system depending on the number of speakers you are using and install each speaker and subwoofer in the room. Here, we explain how to install the speakers using a typical example.

	FHL		FHR
	FL		FR
FWL	SW1	SW2	FWR
		C

SL		SR
SBL	SB	SBR

FL/FR : Place the FRONT left and right speakers an equal distance from the main listening position. The distance between each speaker and your TV should also be the same.

C : Place the CENTER speaker in between the front speakers and above or below your TV.

SL/SR : Place the SURROUND left and right speakers an equal distance to the left and right sides of the main listening position. If you don’t have Surround Back speakers, move the surround speakers slightly behind your listening position.

SBL/SBR (SB) : Place the SURROUND BACK left and right speakers an equal distance from the main listening position and directly behind the main listening position. If you only have one Surround Back speaker, center it.

FHL/FHR : Place the FRONT HEIGHT left and right speakers just outside of the front left and right speakers. Mount them as close to the ceiling as possible and aim them towards the main listening position.

FWL/FWR : Place the FRONT WIDE left and right speakers outside of the front left and right speakers so that there is an equal distance between all front speakers.

SW : Place the SUBWOOFER at a convenient location near the front speakers. If you have two subwoofers, place them symmetrically across the front of your room.

Speaker connection

Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.

This section explains how to connect them using typical examples.

NOTE

•Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.

•Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other (vpage 218 “Protection circuit”).

•Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)

•Use speakers with an impedance of 6 – 16 Ω/ohms.

22Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

1 Peel off about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

2 Turnthespeakerterminalcounterclockwise to loosen it.

3	Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the
	hilt into the speaker terminal.

4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.

22About the Bi-amp connection

Some audiophile loudspeakers can be connected to an amplifier with two separate amp-to-speaker connections per each speaker. One amplifier channel’s output is hooked up to the speaker’s bass driver (woofer), while the other amplifier drives the upper range transducers (tweeter, or in some cases midrange and tweeter). This connection method has one amplifier channel driving one half of the bi-amp speaker, and avoids electrical interference between the speaker’s bass and treble drivers and the driving amplifier channels. You can assign 4 amp channels to connect to one pair of bi-amp capable speakers. Bi-amp capable speakers always have two sets of speaker input connector pairs, one for the bass range and one for the treble range. If you’re unsure about whether or not your speakers are bi-amp capable, consult the owner’s manual that came with the speakers.

•For how to connect the front, center, and surround speaker and the subwoofer to this unit, see “Connecting 7.1-channel speakers using surround back speakers” (vpage 27).
