The unit permits you to build various surround systems, in 

accordance with the number of speakers you have.
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.
The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonly-used 

in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround 

sound, install your speakers as shown below.

•

Both the surround back speakers and the front height 

speakers can be connected at the same time. In this case, 

sound will be output from either the front height speaker or 

the surround back speaker depending on which one was 

selected in the Speaker System setting (see 

System setting (VSX-1029 only) on page 57

).

You can use the speakers connected to the B speaker 

terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. See 

Switching the speaker terminal on page 18

 for the listening 

options with this setup.

Further, if you use the B speakers, a 5.1 ch playback will be 

the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output from 

the surround back speaker.)

Bi-amping connection of the front speakers for high sound 

quality with 5.1-channel surround sound.

•

When using the Front Bi-amping connection, sound will 

only be output from the front speakers, the surround 

speakers and the subwoofer.

With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy the 

surround sound in the main zone with stereo playback on 

another component in ZONE 2 (The selection of input devices 

is limited). See 

MULTI-ZONE listening on page 58
