PREPARATIONS ➤ Placing speakers En 13

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.

• For information on the ideal speaker layout, see “Ideal speaker layout” (p.110).

• If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers or presence speakers.

To reinforce the rear right/left 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 Ω MIN”. In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers.

For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.16).
