speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound
will be unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to
connect the speakers correctly.
Speaker impedance
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the
rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching imped-
ance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that
indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions
or damage to the speakers or receiver.

* For Surround Back speaker, you may place either two Surround
Back speakers (Surround Back Left speaker and Surround Back
Right speaker) for 7.1 channel surround sound system or one
Surround Back speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound system.
Front speakers : Place the left and right speakers at each side of your
TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the
stereo effect.
Center speaker : Place the center speaker on the center between the
front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward
so that it is directly facing the listening area.
Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as pos-
sible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly
behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers
are facing directly towards the listeners.
Subwoofer : Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position
in the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since the
subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed
almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency
reproduction according to the room layout.)
Surround back speakers : Place the surround back speaker behind
the listening position, at the same height as the left and right
surround speakers.
¶ Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers
listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you
can divide those signals between the available speakers in the
speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround repro-
duction from the speakers you have available. *
