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. !

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 accord-
ing 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 (

terminal.
Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction.

When none of the top middle, top forward + top backward, front height, front wide, and surround back speak-
ers are connected, Dolby Atmos does not play.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [N] below.
