Connecting the AV receiver

Speaker Configuration

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need

seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table shows which channels you should

use based on the number of speakers you have.

*1 If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the

SURR BACK L terminals.

*2 (TX-SR577)

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered

subwoofer is recommended for a powerful and solid

bass.

To get the best from your surround-sound system, you

must set the speaker settings. You can do this

automatically (see page 37) or manually (see page 66).

Note:

Front high and surround back speakers produce no sound

at the same time.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all

red. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)

*1 (TX-SR577)

The supplied speaker labels are color-coded and you

should attach them to the positive (+) side of each

speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All

you need to do then is to match the color of each label to

the corresponding speaker terminal.

For North American model

• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker

terminal before inserting the banana plug.

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and

right, surround back left and right and front high left and

right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in

two directions.

Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them

to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround

left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so

that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the

surround back left and right and front high left and

right

dipole speakers should be positioned so that their

arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s PRE

OUT: SUBWOOFER to the input on your powered

subwoofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re

using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT:

SUBWOOFER to the amp’s input.
