Connecting your equipment 03 Installing your speaker system To take full advantage of the receiver's surround sound capabilities connect front, center, surround and surround back speakers, as well as a subwoofer.1 Although this is ideal, other configurations with fewer speakers-no subwoofer or no center speaker, or even no surround speakers-will work. At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that your main surround speakers should always be connected as a pair, but you can connect just one surround back speaker if you like (it must be connected to the left surround back terminal).

Installing your speaker system
To take full advantage of the receiver’s surround sound capabilities connect front, center, surround and surround back
speakers, as well as a subwoofer.
1
Although this is ideal, other configurations with fewer speakers—no subwoofer or
no center speaker, or even no surround speakers—will work. At the very least, front left and right speakers only are
necessary. Note that your main surround speakers should always be connected as a pair, but you can connect just
one surround back speaker if you like (it must be connected to the left surround back terminal). You can use speakers
with a nominal impedance between 6
Ω
and 16
Ω
(please see
Switching the speaker impedance
on page 74 if you plan
to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8
Ω
).
Connecting the speakers
Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a
positive (+) and negative (–) terminal. Make sure to
match these up with the terminals on the speakers
themselves.
Caution
•
These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE
voltage
. To prevent the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching any
uninsulated parts.
•
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal.
If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel
it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Note
1
• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the
SURROUND BACK L
(Single) terminals.
• To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel, not the surround back channel.
