Setup
For the best possible surround sound all speakers should
be the same distance from the listening position (A).
(However, this unit lets you to place the center speaker up
to 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer (B) and the rear speakers up
to 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 12.0 meters
(3 to 40 feet) from the listening position (A).)
Note
Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.

Speaker System Hookup
Speaker impedance
To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front, center,
and rear speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or
higher, and set the speaker IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to
“8.” Check the instruction manual supplied with your
speakers if you’re not sure of their impedance. (This
information is usually printed on a label on the back of
the speaker.)
You may connect a pair of speakers with a nominal
impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to the FRONT
SPEAKERS terminals, if you set the IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR to “4” but you will not be able to enjoy
multi-channel surround sound.
Note
Be sure to connect front speakers with a nominal impedance of 8
ohms or higher if you want to select both sets (A+B) of front
speakers (see page 23).
