Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround and surround back speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions.

Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround back dipole speak- ers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Connecting the Powered Subwoofers

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV controller’s SW1 PRE OUT, SW2 PRE OUT to an input on your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your sub- woofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the SW1 PRE OUT, SW2 PRE OUT to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with each jacks respectively. Level and distance can be set indi- vidually for each output. If you use one subwoofer, connect it to SW1 PRE OUT.

You can also connect a powered subwoofer to the AV controller’s balanced SUBWOOFER 1 PRE OUT, SUBWOOFER 2 PRE OUT jack by using a bal- anced XLR cable.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with each jacks respectively. Level and distance can be set indi- vidually for each output. If you use one subwoofer, connect it to SUBWOOFER 1 PRE OUT.
