• Connect the PRE OUT jacks to the powered
speakers or the power amplifiers connected
to speakers respectively.
• When using only one surround back
speaker, connect the SURROUND BACK
LEFT jack to the power amplifier.
• To emphasize the deep bass sounds,
connect a powered subwoofer.
Notes :
• After installing the speakers, first adjust the
speaker settings according to your
environment and speaker layout (For
details, "SETTING THE SPEAKER/ROOM
EQ SETUP" on page 61.)
• According to speaker settings, some
channels of PRE OUTs cannot output
audio signals.
10
7. CONNECTING SPEAKERS
• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and
correctly according to the channel(left and
ENGLISH
right) and the polarity (+ and -). If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be
heard from the speakers, and if the polarity
of the speaker connection is incorrect, the
sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
• For installing the speakers, refer to "Speaker
placement" on page 12.
• After installing the speakers, first adjust the
speaker settings according to your
environment and speaker layout. (For
details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER
/ROOM EQ SETUP" on page 61.)
Surround back speakers

• When using only one surround back
speaker, you should connect it to
SURROUND BACK/MULTI LEFT channel.
• Because this receiver cannot drive the
surround back speakers and the ROOM 2
speakers simultaneously, you should assign
their power amplifier correctly depending on
how to use them. (For details, refer to
"CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTS" on page
13 and "When selecting the AMP ASSIGN"
on page 52.)
Front Bi-Amp Connections.

• Some speakers are equipped with two sets
of input terminals, for bi-amplification.
• If no other surround back speakers are
used, you can connect the FRONT and the
SURROUND BACK/MULTI channels to the
bi-amp-capable speakers. (For details, refer
to the operating instructions of your bi-amp-
capable speakers.)
• To drive the bi-amp-capable speakers, you
should assign the power amplifier to "BI-
AMP".
Note :
• Before making bi-amp connections, remove
the short-circuiting bars from the terminals of
your speakers.
Caution :
• Be sure to use the speakers with the
impedance of 6 ohms or above.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each
other or any metal part of this unit. This
could damage this unit and/or the speakers.
11
Speaker placement
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the
size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The
typical example of speaker placement and
ENGLISH
recommendations are as follows :
■Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as
flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.
• Place the center speaker between the front left and
right speakers and no further from the listening
position than the front speakers.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the
location of the listener’s ears when at the main
listening position.
■Surround left and right speakers

• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter
(40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener
on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
■Surround back left and right speakers

• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing
1. TV or Screen 7. Surround right speaker
the front at a narrower distance than front speakers.
2. Front left speaker 8. Surround back left speaker
• When using a single surround back speaker, place it
3. Subwoofer 9. Surround back right speaker
at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher
4. Center speaker 10. Surround center speaker
position (0 to 20 cm ) than the surround speakers.
5. Front right speaker 11. Listening position
• We recommend installing the surround back
6. Surround left speaker
speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This
effectively prevents the surround back channel
signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the
front center, resulting in interference and making the
sense of movement from the front to the back less
sharp.
■Subwoofer
• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass
sounds.
Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
■Notes :
•When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front
left and right and center speakers.
•To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.

To operate this receiver and other components, this remote control should emit the infrared beams.
To operate this receiver only from longer distance even if there are obstacles such as walls, furniture, etc. in the way, this
remote control should emit the RF beams.
Therefore, depending on how to use this remote control, you should set the transmission signal mode to "IR"(default value)
or "RF". (For details, refer to "Changing the transmission signal" on page 29.)
Notes :
• To receive the RF beams, you should connect the RF remote antenna to this receiver. (For details, refer to "CONNECTING
RF REMOTE ANTENNA" on page 14.)
• If the transmission signal mode is set to "RF", this remote control cannot control other audio and video components.
However, if the IR emitter is connected to the IR OUT jack, you can control other component via it. (For details, refer to
"CONNECTING MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM KIT" on page 14.)
