Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 6.1 channel speaker system.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you
connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding
mode” on page 33).
Example of 6.1 channel speaker system configuration
Tips
When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.
Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the optional WS-FV10D (HT-5950DP only) or
WS-FV11 floor stand (available only in certain countries).
You can also install the front, surround and surround back speakers on the wall (see page 17).
Note
Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround and surround back speaker terminals and the short speaker
connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals.
Attaching foot pads
To prevent speaker vibration or movement, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as shown in the
illustration below.
Note
Be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the sub woofer as well.

Adjust the speaker levels and balance while
listening to the test tone from your listening
position. Use the remote for the operation.
Tip
The receiver employs a test tone with a frequency
centered at 800 Hz.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
2 Press TEST TONE.
“T. TONE” appears in the display and the
test tone is output from each speaker in
sequence.

Surround (right) t Surround back t
Surround (left) t Sub woofer
3 Adjust the speaker levels and balance
using the LEVEL menu so that the level
of the test tone sounds the same from
each speaker.
For details on the LEVEL menu settings,
see page 36.
Tips
To adjust the level of all speakers at the same
time, press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote or
turn MASTER VOLUME –/+ on the receiver.
The adjusted value are shown in the display
during adjustment.
4 Press TEST TONE again after
adjustment.
The test tone turns off.
Notes
(HT-9950M, HT-9900M and HT-6900DP only)
The test tone cannot be used when MULTI CH IN
function is used.
Although these adjustments can also be made via the
front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test
tone is output, the receiver switches to the LEVEL
menu automatically), we recommend you follow the
procedure described above and adjust the speaker
levels from your listening position using the remote.
