Connecting the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 38) to LARGE.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.
