Home theater is designed to be setup with five, or seven speakers (front left & right; center; surround left &
right; and, optimally, surround back left & right) and a subwoofer, but you can use this receiver with fewer
speakers. Hook up the speakers you have to the A speaker terminals on the back of the receiver. If you only
have two speakers hook them up as "FRONT." If you have three hook up the single speaker as "CENTER." Follow
the diagram below in order to hook up all your speakers. A center speaker is very important for watching films
because in digital soundtracks the dialog comes from the center speaker. If you do not have a center speaker
you must tell the receiver the center channel is off or when you listen to digital soundtracks you won't hear any
dialog. This can be done automatically by following the Auto Surround Sound Setup instructions from page 13 in
this Quick Start Guide.
If possible, use surround back speakers. These speakers are important to take full advantage of all the sound
channels on new, eight channel home theater DVDs. The diagram below also explains how to hook up a
subwoofer which provides realistic bass sounds. For the subwoofer use a mono (single plug) RCA cord and for
the other speakers use regular speaker cords. See page 102–103 for advice on speaker placement.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the R terminal and the speaker on the left to the L terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

• Please use speakers with a nominal impedance rated 6 -16 .
memo
• If you only have one surround back speaker hook it up to the left surround back terminal.
• If you use a THX certified subwoofer use the THX INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer
has one) or switch the filter position to THX on your subwoofer.
• When you attached your speaker wire to the speaker terminal make sure that not even one strand
of wire touches the back of the receiver. If this happens it could short out the receiver.
