1: Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel 
system (7 speakers and one sub woofer).
To fully enjoy theater-like multi-channel 
surround sound requires five speakers (two 
front speakers, a center speaker, and two 
surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 
channel system).

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of 
DVD software recorded sound in the Surround 
EX format if you connect one additional 
surround back speaker (6.1 channel system) or 
two surround back speakers (7.1 channel 
system). (see “Using the surround back 
decoding mode (SB DECODING)” on
 page

Tips
• When you connect a 6.1 channel speaker system, 
place the surround back speaker behind the 
listening position.
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly 
directional signals, you can place it wherever you 
want.
