Yamaha Aventage RX-A1000 Home Theater Receiver - Speaker Connections
Here is a look at the speaker connections on the Aventage RX-A1000.
Here are some of the speaker setups that can be used:
1. If you want to use a full traditional 7.1/7.2 Channel setup, you can use the Front, Center, Surround, and Surround Back connections.
2. If you don't want to use the 7.1/7.2 Channel setup with the Surround Back option, you can use the presence connection option to place two more speakers in the front, and directly above, the front left and right channel speakers.
This will still give you a 7.1/7.2 channel setup, but the far back channel is now replaced with an extra front presence height channel.
3. If you want to have the Aventage RX-A1000 power a 2nd zone system, you can use the Front, Center, and Surround connections to power a 5.1 channel system in your main room and use either the extra Front Presence/Second Zone terminals to power a two-channel 2nd zone system.
4. If you want to Bi-Amp your front main speakers (some speakers have separate terminals for the tweeter/midrange and woofer sections). You can use the Front and Surround Back/Bi-amp speaker terminals to accomplish this.
In addition to the physical speaker connections, you will also need to use the menu setup options of the receiver to send the correct signal information to the speaker terminals, based on what speaker configuration option you are utilizing. You also have to remember that you cannot use all the available options at the same time.
