1: Installingspeakers

This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel system (7 speakers and one sub woofer).

To tully enjoy theater-like nmlti channel surround sound requires five speakers (two

t_ont speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1

channel).

Example of a 5.1 channel

speaker system configuration

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) or two

surround back speakers (7.1 channel) (see "Using the surround back decoding mode" on

page 46).
