If you use five speakers in the front side, use two of them as front surround speakers (*1) or presence speakers (*2). We recommend using them as front surround speakers for enjoying unprocessed playback (p.56) or presence speakers for enjoying stereoscopic sound fields (p.53).

• For information on the ideal speaker layout, see “Ideal speaker layout” (p.128).

• If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers or presence speakers. To reinforce the rear left/right sounds, use them as surround back speakers. To create a natural 3-dimensional sound field, use them as presence speakers.

systems, connect speakers while referring to the connection diagram for the 6.1-channel system.

Caution

• Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer before connecting the speakers.

• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with the unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “Check SP Wires” will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.

Connecting front speakers that support bi-amp connections

When using front speakers that support bi-amp connections, connect them to the FRONT jacks and SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP jacks.

To enable the bi-amp function, set “Power Amp Assign” (p.100) in the “Setup” menu to “5ch BI-AMP” after connecting the power cable to an AC wall outlet.

Caution

• Before making bi-amp connections, remove any brackets or cables that connect a woofer with a tweeter. Refer to the instruction manual of the speakers for details. If you are not making bi-amp connections, make sure that the brackets or cables are connected before connecting the speaker cables.

• Surround back speakers cannot be used during bi-amp connections.

• The FRONT jacks and SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP jacks output the same signals.

6 Connecting a network cable or the wireless antenna

Connect the unit to a router (access point) with a network cable, or connect the supplied wireless antenna for establishing a wireless network connection.

You can enjoy Internet radio or music files stored on media servers, such as PCs and Network Attached Storage (NAS), on the unit.

Connecting the network cable

Connect the unit to your router with a commercially-available STP network cable (CAT-5 or higher straight cable).

• If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to configure any network settings for the unit, as the network parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically to it. You only need to configure the network settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to configure the network parameters manually (p.107).

• You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in “Network” (p.115) in the “Information” menu.

Connecting the wireless antenna

Connect the supplied wireless antenna to the unit for establishing a wireless network connection.

For information on how to connect the unit to a network device wirelessly, see “Connecting to a network device wirelessly” (p.42).

• Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router) may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the security software or firewall settings appropriately.

• Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.
