Optimus STAV-3690, 31-3040 Connecting Surround-SoundSpeakers, Connecting the Center Speaker

Preparing Your Receiver

Connecting Surround-Sound Speakers

You can connect a pair of speakers to the receiver for surround-sound pro- grams. Follow the steps in “Connecting the A and B Speakers” to connect the speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals.

Connecting the Center Speaker

The center speaker gives additional ambience to surround sound. Connect the center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals. Follow the steps in “Connect- ing the A and B Speakers.”

Connecting Center Channel and Subwoofer Amplifiers

To increase the center channel’s output power, you can connect an amplifier to the CENTER PRE OUT jack. Then connect the center channel speaker to the am- plifier.

Your receiver includes a line-level subwoofer output. Connecting a subwoofer to your system dramatically extends bass response for incredible richness and depth. When you listen to surround-sound programs, a subwoofer enhances your home theater experience by realistically recreating the rumble of an earth- quake, the bone-jarring percussion of a cannon, and more. To use the subwoof- er output, simply connect SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to an amplified subwoofer’s line- level input or to an amplifier to which you have connected a subwoofer.

RadioShack stores sell a variety of suitable subwoofers and amplifiers.
