INSTALLATION
You are now ready to connect your various components to your receiver.
Before beginning, make sure that all components, including the AVR 144,
are turned completely off and their power cords are unplugged. Don’t
plug any of the power cords back in until you have finished
making all of your connections.
Remember that your receiver generates heat while it is playing. Select a
location that leaves several inches of space on all sides of the receiver. It
is preferable to avoid completely enclosing the receiver inside a cabinet.
It is also preferable to stack components on separate shelves rather
than directly on top of the receiver. Some surface finishes are delicate.
Try to select a location with a sturdy surface finish.
Step One – Connect the Speakers
If you have not yet done so, place your speakers in the listening room
as described in the Speaker Placement section above.
Connect the center, front left, front right, surround left and surround right
loudspeakers to the corresponding speaker terminals on the AVR 144.
Remember to maintain the proper polarity by always connecting the
positive and negative terminals on each speaker to the positive and
negative terminals on the receiver. Use the Connection Color Guide
on page 16 as a reference. See Figure 14.
