b)

If you connect only one surround back 
speaker, connect it to the SPEAKERS 
SURROUND BACK L terminals.

c)

When you connect a subwoofer with an auto 
standby function, turn off the function when 
watching movies. If the auto standby 
function is set to on, it turns to standby mode 
automatically based on the level of the input 
signal to a subwoofer, then sound may not be 
output.

• When you connect all the speakers with a nominal 

impedance of 8 ohms or higher, set “Impedance” in 
the Speaker settings menu to “8

Ω”. In other 

connections, set it to “4

Ω”. For details, see “8: 

• Before connecting the AC power cord (mains 

lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker 
cords are not touching each other between the 
SPEAKERS terminals.

To connect certain speakers to another power 
amplifier, use the PRE OUT jacks. The same signal 
is output from both the SPEAKERS terminals and 
the PRE OUT jacks. For example, if you want to 
connect just the front speakers to another amplifier, 
connect that amplifier to the PRE OUT FRONT L 
and R jacks.

You can assign the SPEAKERS SURROUND 
BACK terminals F and G to the speakers of 
the zone 2. Set “Sur Back Assign” to “ZONE 
2” in the Speaker settings menu.
See “Using multi-zone features” (page 103) 
for details on connection and operation in zone 
2.
