This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel
system (7 speakers and one sub woofer).
Enjoying a 5.1/7.1 channel
system
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).

Tips
• 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.
