APPENDIX A: CONNECTING THE RECEIVER

PROTECT YOUR COMPONENTS

FROM OVERHEATING

•Do not block ventilation holes in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

•Do not stack components directly on top of each other.

•Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

•Place an amplifier on the top shelf of the stand so heating air rising from it will not flow around

other components. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place it on the top shelf.

USING THE “SWITCHED OUTLET”

•When another component is plugged into the “switched” AC outlet on the back of the receiver, the receiver power button will operate the power for the other component.

•Do not plug your TV or VCR in the “switched” outlet on the back of the receiver.

USING THE SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS

You can connect the subwoofer outlet jacks to powerful subwoofers, such as the RCA SP3500SW. Connect one of the black terminals on the back of the receiver to the subwoofer’s line input. If the subwoofer has two input jacks, connect the receiver to the input jack labeled “Mono.” If there is no label for Mono, use the right input jack. If a second subwoofer is used, connect it to the remaining receiver output jack.

See the subwoofer’s user’s manual for specific information about adjusting the subwoofer.
