Preparing Your Receiver

Connecting Surround-Sound Speakers

You can connect a pair of speakers to the receiver for surround-sound pro- grams. Follow the steps in “Connecting the Front Speakers” to connect the speakers to the SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals.

Connecting the Center Speaker

The center speaker gives additional ambience to surround sound. Follow the steps in “Connecting the Front Speakers” to connect the center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals.

Connecting a Subwoofer Amplifier

Your receiver includes a line-level subwoofer output. Connecting a subwoofer to your system dramatically extends bass response for incredible richness and depth. When you listen to surround-sound programs, a subwoofer enhances your home theater experience by realistically re-creating the rumble of an earth- quake, the bone-jarring percussion of a cannon, and more. To use the sub- woofer output, simply connect SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to an amplified subwoofer’s line-level input or to an amplifier to which you have connected a subwoofer.

RadioShack stores sell a variety of suitable subwoofers and amplifiers.
