Speaker patterns and terminals to be connected
When you connect speakers to the receiver, refer to the following table.
You can use the following table to confirm the speaker patterns supported by the receiver as
well as the speaker terminals to which the speakers of each speaker pattern are to be
connected.
When playing back DTS content, select a speaker pattern which supports DTS playback*
(indicated with white background in the following table). If you select other speaker patterns
(indicated with gray background in the table), the sound may not be output from some
speakers.
To set the speaker pattern, select [Setup] - [Speaker Setup] - [Speaker Pattern] from the home
menu.
