Determining the speakers’ application
This unit permits you to build various surround systems,
in accordance with the number of speakers you have.
• Be sure to connect speakers to the front left and right
channels (L and R).
• It is also possible to only connect one of the surround
back speakers (SB) or neither.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.
[A] 7.1 channel surround system (Front height)

Important
•The Speaker System setting must be made if you
use any of the connections shown above other than
[A] (see Speaker system setting on page 79).
• Sound does not come through simultaneously from
the front height, front wide, speaker B and surround
back speakers. Output speakers are different
depending on the input signal or listening mode.
Other speaker connections
•Your favorite speaker connections can be selected
even if you have fewer than 5.1 speakers (except front
left/right speakers).
• When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers
with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the
front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency
component is played from the front speakers, so the
speakers could be damaged.)
•
After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto
MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning
(Auto MCACC) on page 35.

•Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center.
If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2)
don’t use the front height speakers / front wide
speakers, we recommend placing the surround
speakerright beside you.
• If you intend to connect only one surround back
speaker, place it directly behind you.
• Place the left and right front height speakers at least
one meter (3.3 ft.) directly above the left and right
front speakers.
THX speaker system setup
If you are using a THX certified subwoofer, use the THX
INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer has one)
or switch the filterposition to THX on your subwoofer.
See also THX Audio Setting on page 81 to make the
settings that will give you the best sound experience
when using the Home THX modes (page 49).
Some tips for improving sound quality
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect
on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines
should help you to get the best sound from your system.
•The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the
other speakers should be at about ear-level when
you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the
floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very
high on a wall is not recommended.
•For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2
m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from
the TV.
•If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV,
use shielded speakers or place the spea
sufficient distance from your CRT TV.
•If you’re using a center speaker, place the front
speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a
narrower angle.

/8 in.)
Connecting your equipment
• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so
that the sound of the center channel is localized at
the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker
does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of
the front left and right speakers.
• It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening
position. The angle depends on the size of the room.
Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.
•Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) higher than
your ears and tilted slightly downward. Make sure the
speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the
speakers should be more directly behind the listener
than for home theater pla
•Try not to place the surround speakers farther away
from the listening position than the front and center
speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound
effect.

Connecting the speakers
Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a
positive (+) and negative (–) terminal. Make sure to
match these up with the terminals on the speakers
themselves.
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 that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal.
If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel
it may cause the power t

Banana plug connections
If you want to use speaker cables terminated with banana
plugs, screw the speaker terminal fully shut, then plug the banana plug into the end of the speaker terminal.
Important
•Please refer to the manual that came with your
speakers for details on how to connect the other end
of the speaker cables to your speakers.
• Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer. It is not
possible to connect using speaker cables.
CAUTION
•Make sure that all speakers are securely installed.
This not only improves sound quality, but also
reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from
speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of
external shocks such as earthquakes

Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver
and low frequency driver of your speakers to different
amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your
speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate
terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement
will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.
