Select the speaker layout for the number of speakers that you are using and place the speakers and subwoofer (with built-in amplifier) in your room. This section describes the
representative speaker layout examples.
If you use five speakers in the front side, use two of them as front surround speakers (*1) or presence speakers (*2). We recommend using them as front surround speakers for
enjoying unprocessed playback (p.52) or presence speakers for enjoying stereoscopic sound fields (p.49).
•For information on the ideal speaker layout, see “Ideal speaker layout” (p.123).
•If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers or presence speakers.
To reinforce the rear left/right sounds, use them as surround back speakers.
To create a natural 3-dimensional sound field, use them as presence speakers.
•Two subwoofers connected to the unit output the same sounds.

Caution
•Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6 MIN”. In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers.
For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.16).
