7. SUBWOOFER PREOUT connection

•To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered subwoofer.

8. CONNECTING SPEAKERS

•Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+ and -). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

•For installing the speakers, refer to “Speaker placement” on page 9.

•After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout.(For details, refer to “Speaker Setup” on page 19.)

Caution :

•Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms or above.

•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.
