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

).
!
It is also possible to only connect one of the surround back speakers (
SB

!
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.

When neither the top middle, surround back, or front wide speaker is connected, Dolby Atmos does not play.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [F] below.
