1: Installing speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 6.1 channel system (6 speakers and one sub woofer).

Enjoying a 5.1/6.1 channel system

Getting Started

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded sound in the Surround EX format if you connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see “Using the surround back decoding mode” on page 40).

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
