Connecting the speakers
The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using
at least five speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.
To achieve the comfortable surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

After installing the speakers, connect them as shown below.

Note
• If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the
SUBWOOFER
2
terminal. Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful
sound reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.
• This unit supports speakers with a nominal impedance of 6
W
to 16
W
.
