03 Connecting your equipment Determining the speakers' application Surround sound with a strong sense of presence can be enjoyed by connecting 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer. It is also possible to achieve high sound quality using bi-amp connections and to enjoy music in other rooms using the MULTI-ZONE feature. High sound quality can be achieved with a minimum of two speakers. • Be sure to connect speakers to the front left and right channels ( L and R ). • The Surr Back System setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown below other than [1] (see Selecting the Surr Back system on page 27). [1] 7.1ch surround connection (Simple connection & Best surround) *Default setting These connections prioritize surround sound with a speaker layout like that in a movie theater. • Surr Back System setting: Normal (default) • If you have six speakers, either only connect one surround back speaker (6.1 ch surround), or connect for the 7.1-channel setting as shown on the diagram below but without the center speaker.

(The subwoofer's low frequency component is played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be damaged.) • After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
