CONNECTING SPEAKERS @

Speaker terminals

Connect front speakers (system A and/or B), a center speaker and surround speakers to the corresponding speaker terminals on the unit:

-the front speaker cords to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals

-the center speaker cord to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals

-the surround speaker cords to the SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals.

For more powerful bass, connect a sub woofer with a built-in amplifier to the SUPER WOOFER d jack.

Speaker impedance

●Front and center speakers

The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR on the rear should be set to the position that matches the impedance value of the front and center speakers.

When using 4 ohm speakers, set the selector to 4Q. When using 8 ohm speakers, set the selector to 8Q. Please unplug the AC cord before setting the selector.

●Surround speakers and super woofer

The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR has no effect on the SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals and the SUPER WOOFER

~jack. For the surround speakers and sub woofer, use speakers of 8 ohms or more.

Connecting + to +, -to - terminals

To get the proper sound effect, the speaker terminals on the unit and the speaker should be connected with proper polarity; the + terminal on the unit should be connected to the + terminal on the speaker (and – to –).

m

●Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly as shown in the illustration on the right column. Improper connections can cause shorl circuits in the SPEAKER(S) terminals.

●Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speakers.

●When using a sub woofer, select the speaker system A (see page 6). Otherwise no sound can be heard from it.

POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS

Position the speakers to make the most of the Dolby Pro Logic or DSP effect (see “DOLBYPRO LOGIC).

@Front speakers

@Center speaker

Position in the center of the two front speakers. In addition, position on or below the TV set, if connecting a TV set to the unit.

@Surround speakers

Place the surround speakers directly to the side of or slightly behind the listening area. Align them horizontally, about 1 meter (3.2 feet) above ear height.

m

●Sound is heard from the surround speakers when the DSP is set to on.

●Sound is heard from the center speaker mainly when the Dolby Pro Logic is set to on. Note that when you select the PHANTOM mode of the Dolby Pro Logic, the center speaker is muted. (For details, see “DOLBYPRO LOGIC”).

Front smeakers

Lift up the terminal flap, insert the speaker cord lead into the terminal slot, then close the flap. Check that the cord is connected securely.
