Using Dipole Speakers

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 a Powered Subwoofer

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

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively. The same signal is output from each jack.
