You can set whether or not to output sound
from the front high speakers using “Sound
Field Mode” (page 75). However, “Sound
Field Mode” may not work, depending on
the sound field setting or input signals.

When you connect a subwoofer with an auto
standby function, turn off the function when
watching movies. If the auto standby
function of the subwoofer is set to on, it goes
into standby automatically based on the level
of the input signal to the subwoofer, and the
sound may not be output.
You can connect two subwoofers to the
receiver. The same signals are output from
each of the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jacks.
Tip
You can loosen or tighten the SPEAKERS terminal
easily using the supplied speaker cord connection
tool.
To enable 9.1 channel playback
The receiver can only output up to 7 channels
simultaneously using the speaker terminals.
You can output up to 9 channels
simultaneously by connecting the PRE OUT
SUR BACK jacks or the PRE OUT FRONT
HIGH jacks to a power amplifier.
Set “Speaker Connection” in the Speaker
Settings menu (page 104) according to the
speaker system you are using.
Tip
The same signal is output from both the SPEAKERS
terminals and the PRE OUT jacks. For example, if
you want to connect just the front speakers to
another amplifier, connect that amplifier to the PRE
OUT FRONT L and R jacks.
ZONE 2 connection
Only if you do not use surround back speakers
and front high speakers, you can assign the
SURROUND BACK (ZONE 2) terminals F
and G to the speakers of the zone 2. Set the
SURROUND BACK (ZONE 2) terminals to
“Zone 2 Speaker” in “Speaker Connection” in
the Speaker Settings menu (page 104).
See “Using Multi-zone Features” (page 78)
for details on connection and operation in
zone 2.
