Connecting the surround back speakers
To fully enjoy Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES Extended Surround
(see pages 32 and 33), you need to connect the surround back
speakers through a power amplifier connected to the PRE OUT
SURR BACK jacks on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin
plugs (not supplied). Connect the white plug to the audio left jack,
and the red plug to the audio right jack.

IMPORTANT:
Right / Left
To obtain the best possible output power from the
receiver, and to prevent the receiver from being
overheated, the receiver has the SPEAKER LOAD
SELECTOR which has to be set as follows:
• Set it to "HIGH" when the impedance of the front
speakers connected is within the range of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.
• Set it to "LOW" when the impedance of the front
speakers connected is within the range of 4 Ω to 6 Ω.

You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is
non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.
