Determining the speakers’
application
Surround sound with a strong sense of
presence can be enjoyed by connecting 7
speakers and 1 subwoofer. It is also possible to
achieve high sound quality using bi-amp
connections and to enjoy music in other rooms
using the MULTI-ZONE feature. High sound
quality can be achieved with a minimum of two
speakers.
• Be sure to connect speakers to the front
left and right channels ( and ).

made if you use any of the connections
shown below other than [1] (see
Selecting
the Surr Back system on page 21).

with a speaker layout like that in a movie theater.

connect one surround back speaker (6.1 ch

connection (High quality surround)

zone with stereo playback on another
component in Zone 2. (The selection of input
