Recommended speaker placement

9 or 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.

• You can calibrate speaker positioning using

“Speaker Relocation” even if you cannot place the speakers at the optimum angle (page 102). Arrange the surround back speakers spread further back than 90 degrees to operate “Speaker Relocation” effectively.

• 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.

If you connect only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND

BACK (ZONE 2) L terminals.

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 PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jacks.

Tip

You can loosen or tighten the SPEAKERS terminal easily using the supplied speaker cord connection tool.
