• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and
correctly according to the channel(left and right) and the polarity (+ and -). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
• For installing the speakers, refer to "Speaker
placement" on page 12.
• After installing the speakers, first adjust the
speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout. (For details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER /ROOM EQ SETUP" on page 61.)
󱇲Surround back speakers
• When using only one surround back
speaker, you should connect it to SURROUND BACK/MULTI LEFT channel.
• Because this receiver cannot drive the
surround back speakers and the ROOM 2 speakers simultaneously, you should assign their power amplifier correctly depending on how to use them. (For details, refer to "CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTS" on page 13 and "When selecting the AMP ASSIGN" on page 52.)
󱇲Front Bi-Amp Connections.
• Some speakers are equipped with two sets
of input terminals, for bi-amplification.
• If no other surround back speakers are
used, you can connect the FRONT and the SURROUND BACK/MULTI channels to the bi-amp-capable speakers. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of your bi-amp­capable speakers.)
• To drive the bi-amp-capable speakers, you
should assign the power amplifier to "BI­AMP".
󱇲Note :
• Before making bi-amp connections, remove
the short-circuiting bars from the terminals of your speakers.
Caution :
• Be sure to use the speakers with the
impedance of 6 ohms or above.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each
other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.
7. CONNECTING SPEAKERS
ENGLISH
12
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows :
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.
• Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the main listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
Surround back left and right speakers
• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the front at a narrower distance than front speakers.
• When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm ) than the surround speakers.
• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.
Subwoofer
• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
Notes :
When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front
left and right and center speakers.
To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.

• ROOM 2 playback feature allows you to play a different program source in another room as well as one source in the main room at the same time.
• For ROOM 2 playback, connect the ROOM 2 OUT jacks to the amplifier, TV, etc. installed in another room, or
connect the ROOM 2 speaker terminals to the speakers.
• Because this receiver cannot drive the surround back speakers and the ROOM 2 speakers simultaneously, you should assign their power amplifier correctly depending on how to use them. (For details, refer to "When selecting the AMP ASSIGN" on page 52.)
󱇲Notes :
• To minimize hum or noise, use high quality connection cords.
• You cannot use the digital audio signal for ROOM 2 playback.
