• The Speaker System setting must be
made if you use any of the connections
shown above other than [A] (see Speaker
system setting on page 101).
• Sound does not come through
simultaneously from the front height, front
wide, speaker B and surround back
speakers. Output speakers are different
depending on the input signal or listening
mode.

Other speaker connections

• Your favorite speaker connections can be
selected even if you have fewer than 5.1
speakers (except front left/right speakers).
• When not connecting a subwoofer,
connect speakers with low frequency
reproduction capabilities to the front
channel. (The subwoofer's low frequency
component is played from the front
speakers, so the speakers could be
damaged.)
• After connecting, be sure to conduct
the Auto MCACC (speaker environment
setting) procedure.
See Automatically conducting optimum
sound tuning (Auto MCACC) on page 39.
