Speaker systems and speakers to be connected
Select the speaker layout for the number of speakers that you are using and place the
speakers and subwoofer in your room.
Speaker type
Speaker system
(the number of channels)
7.1/5.1.2 5.1 2.1
Front (L/R) 1/2
Center 3
Surround (L/R) 4/5
*3
Surround back (L/R) 6/7
*1
Presence (L/R) E/R
*2 *4
Subwoofer 9
If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers (*1) or
presence speakers (*2).
If you have five speakers, use two of them as surround speakers (*3) or presence
speakers (*4).
Note
▪ “5.1.2-channel” denotes “standard 5.1-channel plus 2 for overhead speaker channels”.
▪ When using surround back speakers, be sure to connect the surround back left and right speakers. Using
only one surround back speaker was discontinued.
▪ You can also connect up to 2 subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit. Two subwoofers connected to
the unit output the same sounds.
Speaker requirements
Speakers and subwoofers to be connected to the unit must meet the following
requirements:
• (U.S.A. and Canada models only)
Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When
connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”. For
details, see the following:
– “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.17)
• (Except for U.S.A. and Canada models)
Use speakers with an impedance of at least 6 W.
• Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier.
Note
▪ Prepare the number of speakers according to your speaker system.
▪ Be sure to connect the front left and right speakers.
