Using an External Center Speaker

Since this system incorporates a center speaker (see page 5), you don't have to connect a center speaker. However, it is possible to connect a center speaker, if you already have one, to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals. Be sure to use a speaker with a 8 to 16 ohm impedance for the center speaker.
