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
SW
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.
SW : Place the SUBWOOFER at a convenient location near the front
speakers.

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 o 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 (vpage221 “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.
2 Connecting 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.
Peel o about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of
1
sheathing from the tip of the speaker
cable, then either twist the core wire
tightly or terminate it.
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise
2
to loosen it.
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the
3
hilt into the speaker terminal.
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to
4
tighten it.

2 About 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 center, and surround speaker and the subwoofer to this unit, see “Connecting 7.1-channel speakers using surround back
speakers” (vpage28).
