Connecting the AV Controller
The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier. You connect the AV controller’s
PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier’s inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier’s speakers terminals. Speaker settings
such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.
Speaker Configuration
The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.
For 9.2-channel surround-sound playback, you need 9 speakers and 2 powered subwoofers.
*1 If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L output.
*2 If you use the front high and wide speakers at the same time, you need to set the “Front High + Front Wide” setting to “Yes”
(
➔ 48).
No matter how many speakers you use, 2 powered subwoofers are recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically
(
➔
29) or manually (
➔
48).
Connecting a Power Amplifier with RCA Inputs
You can connect the AV controller to a multichannel power amplifier with RCA input jacks by using a multichannel RCA
audio cable or several stereo RCA audio cables.
See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.
