Be sure to connect the speakers correctly. Speaker impedance After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver. Speaker placement Center speaker Front speakers (L,R) Surround speakers (L,R) Subwoofer Listening position Surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) Front speakers : Place at the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes. Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback. Surround speakers : Place at the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere. Required for surround playback. Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Surround back speakers : Place the surround back left and right speakers behind the listening position at the same height as the side surround speakers. • Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround repro- duction from the speakers you have available. £ Channel space switching (Except for the U.S.A., Canada, U.K., and Australia) The space between radio channels has been set to the one that prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area where the system is to be used, for instance when you move from area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper reception of AM/FM broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case, change the channel space setting in accordance with your area by referring to the following table.
