Connecting the Speakers

For full enjoyment of the THX modes (see page 51), it is recommended to use THX-certified speakers.

You can connect the following speakers:

ANTENNA

AM

EXT

AM

LOOP

FM 75

COAXIAL

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

AM Loop Antenna

(supplied)

Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM loop.

•Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.

•One pair of surround speakers to produce a three-dimensional sound movement and environmental background-effect sounds.

•One or one pair of surround back speakers to enjoy 6.1-channel or 7.1-channel sound reproduction. A pair of the speakers is required to use THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.

•One center speaker to produce a rich sound image by stabilizing the sound localization (also used to emphasize human voices).

•One powered subwoofer to enhance the bass and to reproduce the LFE channel recorded in multi-channel software.

For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 10.

CAUTIONS:

Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

•When connecting to both of the FRONT 1 and FRONT 2 / ZONE

2 SPEAKERS terminals, use speakers with an impedance of

8 Ω to 16 Ω.

•When connecting to either the FRONT 1 or FRONT 2 / ZONE 2

SPEAKERS terminals, use speakers with an impedance of 4 Ω to 16 Ω.

Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)

Notes:

• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.

•If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)
