Connecting speakers
The positive speaker terminals on the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E
are color coded for easy identification. Attach the supplied speaker
labels to the speaker cables, and then match the colors on the
speaker cables to the corresponding terminals.
The speaker channels are colored as follows:
Front left speaker (+): White
Front right speaker (+): Red
Center speaker (+): Green
Surround left speaker (+): Blue
Surround right speaker (+):Grey
Surround back speaker (+):Brown
Zone 2 left speaker (+): White
Zone 2 right speaker (+): Red
Note:
If you select “2ch (PRE OUT)” at the “1. Hardware Config” menu
→ “ b. Surr Back” and use the PRE OUT terminals for 7.1ch
sound, connect the speakers to the power amplifier connected to
the PRE OUT terminals without connecting any speakers to the
Surround Back Speaker terminals on the TX-SR701/701E. Using
the surround back terminals on both the TX-SR701/701E and
power amplifier will not produce correct surround sound effect (see
page 55).
Use the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to connect a subwoofer with
a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-
in amplifier, connect an amplifier to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT
jack and the subwoofer to the amplifier.
If you connect the surround back speakers to the power amplifier
connected to the SURR BACK PRE OUT terminals on the TX-
SR701/701E for 7.1ch sound playback, do not connect the surround
back speakers to the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER terminals on
the TX-SR701/701E. Connecting the surround back speakers to
both the TX-SR701/701E and power amplifier will not produce
correct surround sound effect.
