3 Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of eight speakers is shown here (including the subwoofer) 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 a complete setup is best.
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 to 16 .
If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on
page 37) to large
When using the speaker on your TV as the center speaker (C), connect the CENTER
PREOUT jack on this unit to the audio input jack on your TV. In this case the center speaker
shown is unnecessary.
