How to install 2 speakers into a stereo receiver?

Question

I have a home stereo system, however, I only use 2 bookshelf speakers that I have plugged into my stereo receiver. On the back of the receiver, I see that it allows an entire surround system. Since I only have 2 speakers, I have them plugged into the "Front" area for speakers (instead of "Surround," "Surround Back," and "Center"- which I know is for the center speaker).

My speakers don't sound as clear as they should. Should I have them in surround, or do I need to change any settings on the receiver?

Answer 1

My receiver is the same way - it's a pioneer. You hooked up the speakers correctly. Now, make sure under your receiver's settings, you have it set to subwoofer-off and also make sure its set to 2.0 channel. Let us know if that works.
