1: Installing the speakers
The illustration above shows an example of seven speakers and four subwoofers configuration. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the
receiver.
About speaker placement
The front speakers, center speaker and subwoofers are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, as the surround and
surround back speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place them slightly further away from a TV set.
2: Connecting the speakers and subwoofers
The illustrations above show how to connect the speakers. Before you connect the speakers, check the speaker label on the rear panel of the speakers for
the speaker type.
For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
About speaker cords
• Use the long speaker cords to connect the surround and surround back speakers and the short speaker cords to connect the front speakers.
• Connect the cord attached with the “CENTER” label to the center speaker.
• Use the red and black speaker cords to connect the subwoofers.
Red wire is positive (+) in polarity and should be connected to the positive (+) speaker terminal.
Connect black wire to the negative (−) speaker terminal.
About speaker jacks
• Connect the
3jack to the 3jack of the receiver and connect the #jack to the
#jack of the receiver.
• Refer to the illustration above for details of connecting speaker cords.

For details on the Auto Calibration function, refer to step 7 of "Getting started" of the operating instructions supplied with this receiver.
Notes
•If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any
obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error.
•The Auto Calibration function cannot detect the subwoofer. Therefore, all subwoofer settings will be maintained.
6: Setting up other components
You should set up each component so that the sound is output from the speakers correctly when you playback a connected component. Refer to the
operating instructions supplied with each component.
Note
If no digital signal is input through the COAXIAL or OPTICAL jack on the receiver, “NO INPUT” appears on the display. This is not a malfunction.
