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 33).
Example of 6.1 channel speaker system configuration

Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.
