Connecting the Speakers

Connect the satellite speakers and subwoofer to the terminals on the rear panel using speaker cords supplied.

The ends of the speaker cords are colored to indicate the terminals to be connected.

CAUTION:

Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Connecting speaker cords to the speakers

•Connect the cord with a gray tube to the red (+) terminal, and the cord with a black tube to the black (–) terminal respectively.

•You can use the satellite speakers interchangeably for any position except for subwoofer. Make sure not to connect the subwoofer terminal and the satellite speaker.

When setting the speakers

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position with each front faced toward the listener. Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a subwoofer wherever you like. Normally place it in front of you.

You can adjust the delay time of the center speaker and rear speakers. For in-depth information about adjusting the delay time, see “Adjusting the Sound” on page 17.

Notes:

You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the speaker cords to the terminals inversely—the cord with a gray tube to the black terminal, and the cord with a black tube to the red terminal. You may get more effective bass sounds by changing the phase.

CAUTIONS:

•When attaching the satellite speakers on the wall, have them attached to the wall by a qualified person.

DO NOT attach the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid an unexpected damage of their falling from the wall, caused by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall.

•Care is required in selecting a location for attaching speakers to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may result if the speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily activities.

Insert the speaker connectors to the speaker terminals on the rear panel.

• Make sure to match the color of the connector and the terminal.
