Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. Thereceiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using atleast 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 leftto the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative ( +/–) terminals on the receivermatch those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16 Ω(please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 67 if you plan to use speakers with animpedance of less than 8Ω).• If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting onpage 43) to large.• To use the speaker on your TV as the center speaker (C), connect the CENTER PREOUT jackon this unit to the audio input jack on your TV. In this case the center speaker shown isunnecessary.• If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect the positive wire to the rightchannel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (shown below).A S S I G N A B L EAC OUTLETMONITOR OUTY P B P R Y P B P RDVR/VCRT V /SATD V D/ LDCONTROLOUTINAMLOOPFM UNBAL75 ΩININININININCOMPONENT VIDEOMONITOROUTMONITOR OUTSURROUNDCEN-TERS-VIDEOOUTOUTVIDEOSUBWOOFERR AUDIO LINININININOUTDIGITAL OUTOUTINOPTOPTCOAXCOAXOPTAUXCD LRDVR/VCRT V /SA T( T V /SA T )( D V R / V C R )( D V D/ L D )( C D )DVD/ LDPLAYCD-R/ TAPE/ MDFRONTPREOUTASSIGNABLEDIGITAL INREC1212øA N T E N N A( T V / S A T ) I NDVD 5.1CH INPUTPREOUTA BFRONTR L RR RL R LFRONTCENTER SURROUNDR LL LSURROUND BACKS I N G L ESPEAKERSF R O N TC E N T E RSURROUBASURROUNDSEE INSTRUCTIONMANUALD V D5.1CHINPUTINPUT AUDIO INFront speakersL R C LS RSPoweredsubwooferSWPassivesubwooferor singlesurroundbackspeakerTVSurround speakersSBL SBRSurround back speakersCenter speaker
