3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 6.1 channel speaker system.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you
connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding
mode” on page 30).
Example of 6.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (Left)
Sub woofer
Surround speaker (Left)
Front speaker (Right)
Surround speaker (Right)
Surround back speaker
Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
• For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D floor stand
(available only in certain countries).
Note
Connect the long spea ker connecting cords to the surround an d surround back speaker terminals and th e short speaker
connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals.
Attaching foot pads
To prevent speaker vibration or movement, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as shown in the
illustration below.
Note
Be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the sub woofer as well.
