You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround
back speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in
two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround
dipole speakers (a) should be positioned so that their
arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround
back dipole speakers (b) should be positioned so that their

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing
a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by
placing your subwoofer at various positions within the
room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying
results.
You can connect the powered subwoofers with SW1 PRE
OUT and SW2 PRE OUT respectively.
The level and distance can be set individually for each
output. If you're using only one subwoofer, connect it to
SW1 PRE OUT.
Tip
• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you're using an external
amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the
amplifier.
