Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Surround-Sound Speakers
You can connect a pair of speakers to the receiver for surround-sound programs. Follow the steps in “Preparing Your Receiver” on Page 7 to connect the speakers to the SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals.
Connecting the Center Speaker
The center speaker gives additional ambience to surround sound. Fol- low the steps in “Preparing Your Receiver” on Page 7 to connect the cen- ter speaker to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals.
Or, if you prefer to use the amplified speaker as your center speaker, connect CENTER PRE OUT to its line-level input. You can also connect this jack to the audio input of your TV.
Connecting a Subwoofer Amplifier
Your receiver includes a line-level subwoofer output. Connecting a sub- woofer 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 re- creating the rumble of an earthquake, the bone-jarring percussion of a cannon, and more. To use the subwoofer output, 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.
