TX-RZ1100 - Speaker Layout and Connection

The TX-RZ1100 is a 9.2 channel receiver. Please refer to the following information for speaker layout and speaker connection. 

Speaker Layout

Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and vocals.
Surround speakers create back sound field. Powered subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich
sound field.

Surround back speakers improve the sense of envelopment created by the back sound field and provide
a more realistic sound field.

• Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound, when the input format is Dolby Atmos.

The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height.

Center speaker should be set up facing the listening position.

Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music.

The optimal positioning is for surround back speakers to be at ear height.

• If you are including surround back speakers in the setup, surround speakers are required.

These are types of height speakers. 

Front high speakers or rear high speakers should be situated at least 0.9 m higher than the front speakers. Front high speakers should be situated directly above the front speakers and the distance between the rear high speakers should match the distance between the front speakers.

Both should be set up facing the listening position.

• Note that with height speakers you can install up to two sets; Height 1 Speaker and Height 2 Speaker.

Speaker Connection

Make correct connection between the unit's jacks and speaker's jacks (+ side to + side, and - side to - side) for each channel.

CAUTION

Make sure the exposed wires of the speakers do not stick out of the speaker terminals when connecting. If the exposed wires of the speakers touch the rear panel or the + and – wires touch each other, the protection circuit will be activate.
