Connecting up
Connecting the speakers
The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using
at least five speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.
To achieve the comfortable surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.
7.2 channel surorund system:

– Center
R
– Front Right
SL
– Surround Left
SR

Connecting the speaker cables
Make sure you connect the speaker on
the right to the right (
R

speaker on the left to the left (
L

Also make sure the positive and negative
(
+/–

CAUTION
• Before making or changing

disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.

Note
• If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the
SUBWOOFER 2
terminal. Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful
sound reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.
• This unit supports speakers with a nominal impedance of 4
W
to 16
W
.
Important
• Illustration shows the SC-LX86, however connections for the SC-LX76 are the same except
where noted.
After installing the speakers, connect them as shown below.
