Important
Illustration shows the SC-LX87, however connections for the SC-LX77 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.
