03 Connecting your equipment Determining the speakers' application This unit is equipped with speaker terminals for 11 channels, allowing users to select a variety of speaker layouts/ usage patterns according to their tastes. The terminals to which the speakers should be connected differ according to the speaker layout/usage pattern. Select one speaker layout/usage pattern before connecting the speakers. For instructions on connections, see Installing your speaker system on page 27 . However, the 5.2 +ZONE 2+ZONE 3 and Multi-ZONE Music settings can be used separately according to the situation. Normally set this to 5.2 +ZONE 2+ZONE 3 and use this for multi-zone/multi-source playback, and when using the system for home parties for example, set this to Multi-ZONE Music to associate all zones with the main zone. ! Be sure to connect speakers to the front left and right channels (L and R). ! It is also possible to only connect one of the surround back speakers (SB) or neither. ! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction. ! A sound field appropriate to any type of speaker placement can be enjoyed with Dolby Atmos. However, we recommend a speaker system with ceiling speakers for a better sound field. Important ! The Speaker System setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown below other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on page 104 ). ! The speakers from which sound is output can be switched according to the speaker layout/usage pattern (sound is not necessarily output from all connected speakers). Use the OUT P. button to switch the speakers from which sound is output. For details, see Switching the speaker terminals on page 84 .
