5 minute guide
3 Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of six speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here, but everyone's home
setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will
work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three
speakers is recommended, and all six is best. If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front
speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 32) to large.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to
the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match
those on the speakers.
Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.
