1: Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 9.1 channel
system (9 speakers and one sub woofer).
Refer to “Quick Setup Guide” supplied with
this operating instruction for speaker systems
other than 5.1/7.1/9.1 channel systems.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel
surround sound requires five speakers (two
front speakers, a center speaker, and two
surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1
channel).

speaker system configuration

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of
DVD software recorded sound in the Surround
EX format if you connect one additional
surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two
surround back speakers (7.1 channel.) (see
“Using the surround back decoding mode
(SURR BACK DECODING)” on page 95).

Tips
• When you connect a 6.1 channel speaker system,
place the surround back speaker behind the
listening position.
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.
