REAR SPEAKERS (SURROUND SOUND)

speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass (“out of phase” effect).

Speakers

There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver

At least two front speakers (left and right) are required. For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.

If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.

Connecting the Subwoofer

For RT2280/RT2250, connect the subwoofer with the speaker cord (brown/ black) provided. For RT2250R, or if you want to connect your own powered sub- woofer, a mono aural audio cord (not supplied) is needed (RCA terminal).

This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more information please refer to section “Fine Setting of the Speakers” in “Advanced Sound Control” on page 21.

Speaker cords

1 for each speaker, is needed for connection. Twist the stripped ends of speaker cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Press down on the tab to open the ter- minal and insert the wire. Snap the tab closed.
