Connecting up
Important
• Illustration shows the SC-LX86, however connections for the SC-LX76 are the same except
where noted.
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.

Connecting the speaker cables
Make sure you connect the speaker on
the right to the right (R) terminal and the
speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative
(+/–) terminals on the receiver match those
on the speakers.

CAUTION
• Before making or changing
connections, switch off the power and
disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
• These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent
the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the
speaker cables, disconnect the power
cord before touching any uninsulated

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.
