Recommended speaker placement
7 channel speaker system
• The angle A shown in the illustration
should be the same.
• If you cannot place the speakers at the
optimum angle, separate the surround speakers and the surround back speakers adequately and arrange them as symmetrically as possible.
• Install the front high speakers at the same
angle as that of the front speakers. The position should be at a height on or above an extended diagonal line across the screen of a TV or monitor.
6 channel speaker system
• Place the surround back speaker behind the seating position.
Tip
Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

When you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching movies. If the auto standby function of the subwoofer is set to on, it goes into standby automatically based on the level of the input signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output. You can connect two subwoofers to the receiver. The same signals are output from each of the SUBWOOFER jacks.
ZONE 2 connection
Only if you do not use surround back speakers and front high speakers, you can assign the SURROUND BACK/FRONT HIGH/ FRONT B/ZONE 2 terminals L and R to the speakers of zone 2. Set the SURROUND BACK/FRONT HIGH/FRONT B/ZONE 2 terminals to “Zone2 Speakers” in “Speaker Connection” in the Speaker Settings menu (page 86). See “Using Multi-zone Features” (page 62) for details on connection and operation in zone 2.
Front speaker B connection
When you are not using surround back speakers and front high speakers, you can assign the SURROUND BACK/FRONT HIGH/FRONT B/ZONE 2 terminals L and R to the front speaker B. Set the SURROUND BACK/FRONT HIGH/ FRONT B/ZONE 2 terminals to “Front B” in “Speaker Connection” in the Speaker Settings menu (page 86).
