Connecting the speakers
A complete setup of six speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here, but everyone’s home
setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will
work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three
speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound. If you’re not using a
subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 36) to large.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to
the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match
those on the speakers.
Be sure to complete all other
connections before connecting this
unit to the AC power source.
