2: Setting/Connecting Speakers
Set up the speakers and subwoofers in a room using the layout you prefer for your speaker system and connect them to the receiver. The speaker layout drawings on page 16 and 17 provide the ideal layout examples. You do not have to set up the speakers and subwoofers in exactly the same way as the layout examples. Adjust the speaker layout to optimally suit your room environment.
Note
•Connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms.
•Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
•Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables are not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals or on the receiver rear panel. If the wires are touching, it may result in damage to the amplifier circuit.
•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 the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output.
Tip
If you have one subwoofer, connect it to either of the SUBWOOFER OUT jacks. If you have two subwoofers, you can connect them to both SUBWOOFER OUT jacks.
How to connect speaker cables
Connect speaker cables with the polarities + (red)/– (black) matched between the receiver and the speakers as illustrated below. Strip the jacket to 10 mm (13/32 in) at each end of the speaker cables, and then tightly twist the speaker wire strands. Insert the stripped ends of the cables into the terminals.
Preparation and Connection

10 mm (13/32 in)
Note
•Be sure not remove too much of the speaker cable sleeves, so as to prevent the wires of the speaker cables from touching each other.
•Improper connection may result in fatal damage to the receiver.

2.1-channel speaker system
If you select [Front Surround] for the sound field setting, you can enjoy surround effects equivalent to that of a 5.1-channel speaker system using only the two front speakers. Place the speakers as shown below and change the direction of the front speakers little by little to find the direction that provides the best surround effect.
Set the height of a tweeter of the front speaker at the same height as your ears.
