03 Connecting your equipment Determining the speakers' application This unit permits you to build various surround systems, in accordance with the number of speakers you have. ! 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. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers. Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below. 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 84). ! Sound does not come through simultaneously from the front height, front wide, speaker B and surround back speakers. Output speakers are different depending on the input signal or listening mode. [A] 7.2 channel surround system (Front height) *Default setting ! Speaker System setting: Normal(SB/FH) FHL FHR R L SW 1 SW 2 C SR SBR SL SBL [B] 7.2 channel surround system (Front wide) ! Speaker System setting: Normal(SB/FW) R L FWR SW 2 SW 1 C SR FWL SBR SL SBL This plan replaces the left and right front height speakers shown in [A] with the left and right front wide speakers (FWL/FWR). It is not possible to produce sound simultaneously from the front wide speakers and the surround back speakers. This surround system provides a sound field with good association between the sounds of the different channels. [C] 7.2 channel surround system & Speaker B connection ! Speaker System setting: Speaker B R L SW 2 SW 1 C R SR L A 7.2 ch surround system connects the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR), the left and right surround speakers (SL/SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR), and the subwoofers (SW 1/SW 2). It is not possible to produce sound simultaneously from the front height speakers and the surround back speakers. This surround system produces a more true-to-life sound from above. SBR SL SBL Speaker B With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy 5.2-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo playback of the same sound on the B speakers. The same connections also allow for 7.2-channel surround sound in the main zone when not using the B speakers. 18
