Overview
This section describes how to connect your speakers to
the receiver. Although front (left and right) speakers
are required, center and rear speakers are optional.
Adding center and rear speakers will enhance the
surround effects. Connecting an active woofer will
increase bass response (STR-DE515 / DE415/D460Z
only). For specific locations of the terminals, see the
illustration below.
