Connecting your equipment
Placing the speakers
By connecting the left and right front speakers (
L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right 
surround speakers (
SL/SR), and the subwoofer (SW), a 5.1 ch surround system can be enjoyed.
Further, by using an external amplifier, you can connect the left and right surround back speakers 
(
SBL/SBR) and the left and right front height speaker (FHL/FHR) to boost your system up to a 7.1 ch 
surround system.
• You can also connect one surround back speaker (
SB) and enjoy a 6.1 ch surround system.
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.
