*1 If you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off this function when watching movies. If the auto standby function is turned on, it switches to standby mode automatically based on the level of the input signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output.
*2 Notes on connections to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/FRONT HIGH/FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 2 terminals
- If connecting only one surround back speaker, connect it to the L (+/-) terminals.
- If you have an additional front speaker system, connect it to these terminals. In this case, perform the following procedure:
- Select [Speaker Pattern] in the Speaker Setup menu, then select a speaker pattern that does not have surround back and front high speakers.
- Set [SB Speaker Assign] in the Speaker Setup menu to [Front B].
- You can connect the front speakers to this terminal using a bi-amplifier connection. In this case, set [SB Speaker Assign] in the Speaker Setup menu to [Bi-Amp].
Note
- After you have installed and connected your speakers, be sure to select the speaker pattern you want using [Speaker Pattern] in the Speaker Setup menu.
