3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver alows you to use a 7.1 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) or two additional surround back speakers (7.1 channel). (See “Selecting the surround back decoding mode” on page 39.)
Example of 7.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (R)
Surround speaker (R)
Front speaker (L)
Active sub woofer
Surround speaker (L)
Surround back speaker (R)
Surround back speaker (L)
Tip
Since the active sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
Speaker impedance
To enjoy the best possible multi channel surround, connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher to the FRONT, CENTER, SURROUND and SURROUND BACK terminals, and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “8Ω”. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your speakers if you are not sure of their impedance. (This information is often on the back of the speaker.)
Alternatively, you may connect speakers with nominal impedances between 4 and 8 ohms to any or all of the speaker terminals. However, be sure to set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω” if you connect even one speaker with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
Note
Be sure to turn the power off before adjusting the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.

all of the items that follow.
Speaker setup parameters
The initial setting is underlined.
x FRONT SP (Front speaker size)
• LARGE If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. When the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, the center, surround, and surround back speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).

5: Setting up the speakers (continued)
x CENTER SP (Center speaker size)
• LARGE If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker to “LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.
• NO (for all sources except MULTI CH 1/2) If you did not connect a center speaker, select “NO”. The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers (digital downmix).
• MIX (for all sources except MULTI CH 1/2) If you did not connect a center speaker but want to downmix the center channel audio, select “MIX”. This is only active when the front, surround, and surround back speakers are set to “LARGE” (ANALOG DOWNMIX). When all speakers are not set to “LARGE”, the center channel will be downmixed digitally (DIGITAL DOWNMIX).
* When using MULTI CH 1/2 sources, the sound
of the center channel is output from the front speakers if you select either “NO” or “MIX”.
x SURROUND SP (Surround speaker
size)
• LARGE If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the surround speakers to “LARGE”.
• SMALL If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the surround channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
• NO If you did not connect surround speakers, select
“NO”. When the surround speakers are set to “NO”, the surround back speakers are also automatically set to “NO”.
22
GB
x SURR BACK SP (Surround back
speaker size)
When the surround speakers are set to “NO”, the surround back speakers are also automatically set to “NO” and the setting cannot be changed.
• LARGE If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the surround back speaker to “LARGE”.
• SMALL If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the surround back channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.
• NO If you did not connect a surround back speaker, select “NO”.
Tip
The LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker determine whether or not the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers. However, since bass has a certain amount of directionality, it best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to “SMALL”. If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. To adjust the equalizer, see page 45.
x SURR BACK L/R (7.1 channel/
6.1 channel switching)
• YES If you connect two surround back speakers, select “YES”. The sound will be output to a maximum of 7.1 channels.
• NO If you connect only one surround back speaker, select “NO”. The sound will be output to a maximum of 6.1 channels.
x SUB WOOFER (Sub woofer selection)
• YES If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
• NO If you did not connect a sub woofer, select “NO”. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
Tip
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
