PREPARATIONS ➤ Connecting speakers En 19
Basic speaker configuration
■ Placing speakers in your room
Depending on the number of speakers, place the speakers and subwoofer in your room. This section describes the representative speaker layout examples.
❑ 9.2+2-channel system
(using both surround back and rear presence speakers)
This speaker system brings out the full performance of the unit and allows you to enjoy
a highly-natural 3-dimensional sound field with any contents.
• The surround back speakers and rear presence speakers do not produce sounds simultaneously. The unit
automatically changes the speakers to be used, depending on the selected sound program (p.71).
• When using front presence and rear presence speakers installed to the ceiling, set “Layout (Front
Presence/Rear Presence)” (p.127) in the “Setup” menu to “Overhead” after connecting the power cable to
an AC wall outlet.
• (RX-A3040 only)
You can make an 11-channel system by using an external power amplifier (p.25).
❑ 9.2-channel system (using rear presence speakers)
This speaker system uses the front and rear presence speakers to produce a
highly-natural 3-dimensional sound field, and is suited for enjoying 5.1-channel contents.
• When using front presence and rear presence speakers installed to the ceiling, set “Layout (Front
Presence/Rear Presence)” (p.127) in the “Setup” menu to “Overhead” after connecting the power cable to
an AC wall outlet.
