1: Installing the speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel
system (7 speakers and one sub woofer).
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).

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 system) or
two surround back speakers (7.1 channel
system). See “Using the surround back
decoding mode (SB DEC)” (page 43).

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.
