Speakers

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

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 the full sound rangeuse the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.

To ease speaker connections, the speaker cords and the ter- minals are color-coded.

•White/Black (Front Left Speaker),

•Red/Black (Front Right Speaker),

•Green/Black (Center Speaker)

•Blue/Black (Rear Left Speaker).

•Grey/Black (Rear Right Speaker).

•Purple/Black (Subwoofer)

Connect the speaker wire to the back of L, R front speakers and to the corresponding color terminals on the rear of the receiver. Do the same for center speaker, rear speakers and the subwoofer.

Speaker Polarity

When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass (“out of phase” effect).

Do not ground the output line, it will cause damage to the speaker.

Connecting the Subwoofer

Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (purple/ black) provided.

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 terminal and insert the wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

Antenna and Speaker

Wire Connection

Push Speaker terminal tab down to insert wire.

Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the Antenna and speaker wires at all connection points.
