• The AUX and 12 buttons on the remote control are not available for receiver operation.

Getting Started

1: Installing speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel system (5 speakers and one sub woofer). 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).

Example of a 5.1 channel speaker system configuration

Installing the speakers on a flat surface

Before you install the speakers and sub woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to prevent vibration or movement as shown in the illustration below.

Installing the speakers on the speaker stand

For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in certain countries). For details, refer to operating instructions supplied with the speaker stand.

AFront speaker (L) BFront speaker (R) CCenter speaker DSurround speaker (L) ESurround speaker (R) FSub woofer

Tip

Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
