About the speaker impedance
The required speaker impedance of the front speakers
differs depending on whether both the FRONT SPEAKERS
1 and FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals are used or only one
of them is used.
• When you connect only one pair of front speakers, use
front speakers with 8 Ω – 16 Ω impedance.
• When you connect both pairs of front speakers, use front
speakers with 16 Ω – 32 Ω impedance.

Connecting the subwoofer speaker
By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or
reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in the digital
software.
Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUB-
WOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with
RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.
Note:
• You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is
non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.
To obtain the best possible sound from this system, place
all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same
distance from the listening position with each speaker's
front faced toward the listener.
Then, change the subwoofer and speaker settings to fit
your listening conditions (see pages 24 to 26).
• You can set the speakers quickly according to the
number of speakers you have connected.
See "Setting Speakers Quickly" on page 23.
