No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass. To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 50) or manually (see page 80).

Note:

Front high, surround back and front wide speakers produce no sound at the same time.

•If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker ter- minal before inserting the banana plug.

•Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER to an input on your powered sub- woofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER to an input on the amp.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two PRE- OUT: SUBWOOFER jacks respectively.
