Depending on the number of speakers, place the speakers and subwoofer in your room. This section describes the representative speaker layout examples.

❑ 9.2+2-channel system (using both surround back and rear presence speakers)

This speaker system brings out the full performance of the unit and allows you to enjoy 
a highly-natural 3-dimensional sound field with any contents.

• The surround back speakers and rear presence speakers do not produce sounds simultaneously. The unit 

automatically changes the speakers to be used, depending on the selected sound program (p.71).

• When using front presence and rear presence speakers installed to the ceiling, set “Layout (Front 

Presence/Rear Presence)” (p.127) in the “Setup” menu to “Overhead” after connecting the power cable to 
an AC wall outlet.

• (RX-A3040 only)

You can make an 11-channel system by using an external power amplifier (p.25).

❑ 9.2-channel system (using rear presence speakers)

This speaker system uses the front and rear presence speakers to produce a 
highly-natural 3-dimensional sound field, and is suited for enjoying 5.1-channel contents.

• When using front presence and rear presence speakers installed to the ceiling, set “Layout (Front 

Presence/Rear Presence)” (p.127) in the “Setup” menu to “Overhead” after connecting the power cable to 
an AC wall outlet.
