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).

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) or two 
surround back speakers (7.1 channel) (see 
“Using the surround back decoding mode” on 
page 53).

• 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.

• If you connect the SUR PRE OUT jack to another power 

amplifier, you are recommended to connect the surround 
speakers to the SPEAKER jacks of that amplifier. Do not 
connect the surround speakers to this receiver.
