Connecting the AV Controller

Connecting Your Speakers

The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier. You connect the AV con- troller’s PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier’s inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier’s speakers termi- nals. Speaker settings such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.

Speaker Configuration

For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.

Number of speakers:	2	3	4	5	6	7

Surround left			✓	✓	✓	✓

Surround right			✓	✓	✓	✓

Surround back*					✓

Surround back left						✓

Surround back right						✓

*If you’re using only one surround back speaker, use the SURR BACK L output.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub- woofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.

To get the best from your surround-sound system, you must set the speaker settings. You can do this automati- cally (see page 58) or manually (see page 89).

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions.

Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward your TV or screen, while the sur- round back left and right dipolar speakers should be posi- tioned so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.
