Connecting your equipment
Determining the speakers’
application
This unit permits you to build various surround
systems, in accordance with the number of
speakers you have.
! Be sure to connect speakers to the front left
systems, in accordance with the number of
speakers you have.
! Be sure to connect speakers to the front left
and right channels (L and R).
! It is also possible to only connect one of the
surround back speakers (SB) or neither.
! If you have two subwoofers, the second
subwoofer can be connected to the
SUBWOOFER 2 terminal. Connecting two
subwoofers increases the bass sound to
achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In
this case, the same sound is output from the
two subwoofers.
