Other speaker connections
! Your favorite speaker connections can be
selected even if you have fewer than 5.2
speakers (except front left/right speakers).
! When not connecting a subwoofer, connect
speakers with low frequency reproduction
capabilities to the front channel. (The
subwoofer’s low frequency component
is played from the front speakers, so the
speakers could be damaged.)
! After connecting, be sure to conduct the
Full Auto MCACC (speaker environment
setting) procedure. See Automatically
conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto
MCACC) on page 34.

! Place the surround speakers at 120º from
the center. If you, (1) use the surround
back speaker, and, (2) don’t use the front
height speakers / front wide speakers, we
recommend placing the surround speaker
right beside you.
! If you intend to connect only one surround
back speaker, place it directly behind you.
! Place the left and right front height speakers
at least one meter directly above the left and
right front speakers.
THX speaker system setup
If you are using a THX certified subwoofer, use
the THX INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your
subwoofer has one) or switch the filter position
to THX on your subwoofer.
See also THX Audio Setting on page 89 to make
the settings that will give you the best sound
experience when using the Home THX modes
(page 46).
