Quick Start Guide
2Speaker Connections
Home theater is designed to be setup with five, or seven speakers (front left & right; center; surround left & right; and, optimally, surround back left & right) and a subwoofer but you can use this receiver with fewer speakers. Hook up the speakers you have to the A speaker terminals on the back of the receiver. If you only have two speakers hook them up as "FRONT." If you have three hook up the single speaker as "CENTER." Follow the diagram on p.19 in order to hook up all your speakers. A center speaker is very important for watching films because the dialog comes from the center speaker in digital soundtracks. If you do not have a CENTER speaker you must tell the receiver the CENTER channel is OFF or when you listen to digital soundtracks you won't hear any dialog. Use the instructions on page
Follow the diagram below to hook up an additional amplifier in order to use surround back speakers. These speakers are important to hear all the sound channels on new, eight channel home theater DVDs. The diagram below also explains how to hook up a subwoofer which provides realistic bass sounds.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative
