Connecting your equipment

This receiver provides you with many connection possibilities, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. This chapter explains
the kinds of components you can connect to make up your home theater system.

CAUTION

• Before making or changing the connections, switch

off the power and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Plugging in should be the final step.

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 speaker (

SB) or neither.

Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.

[A] 9.1 channel surround system (Front height)

*Default setting

Speaker System setting: Normal(SB/FH)

A 9.1 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 subwoofer (SW).

This surround system produces a more true-to-life sound
from above.

[B] 9.1 channel surround system (Front wide)

Speaker System setting: Normal(SB/FW)

This plan replaces the left and right front height speakers
shown in [A] with the left and right front wide speakers
(

FWL/FWR).

This surround system produces a true-to-life sound over
a wider area.

[C] 7.1 channel surround system & Speaker B
connection

Speaker System setting: Speaker B

With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy
5.1-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo
playback of the same sound on the B speakers. The same
connections also allow for 7.1-channel surround sound
in the main zone when not using the B speakers.
