The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings manually ( page 44).

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.
•Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
•Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
•Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
•Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
•Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
•Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
•Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.
Tip
•If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed. Pressing DISPLAY will display the frequency for 3 seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the AV receiver’s display as described in the next section.
PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type ( page 29).
TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information ( page 29).
