Connections and Setup

Connecting the speakers

Six speakers are provided with the unit (2 front,
1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). To achieve good
surround effects, all six speakers need to be	EN
connected to the receiver.
One speaker wire is provided with each
speaker. Speaker wires are color-coded to
match the terminals.
Connect the speaker wire from the back of
each speaker to the corresponding color
terminal at the back of the unit. Press down
the tab to open the terminal and insert the
wire (1). Release the tab to lock wire in the
terminal (2). Do the same for center speaker,
rear speakers and the subwoofer.

Note: When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals match. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted. Do not ground the output line, it will damage the speaker.

Positioning speakers

1Left, Right (Front Speakers)

Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects.

2Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.

3Surround (Rear Speakers)

The rear speakers’ overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten the action on the screen.
