Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting Speakers

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

We recommend a full complement of seven speakers and a subwoofer as shown here but, naturally, everyone's home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below.

One of the latest features of home theater is the use of surround back speakers. These speakers add even greater realism in movie sound effects and some new discs with soundtracks in Dolby Digital or DTS incorporate these channels. See page 27 for speaker placement.

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

memo	• We recommend speakers with a nominal impedance rated 8 Ω-16 Ω, but you can change the
	speaker impedance setting of the receiver (see page 26).

•If you only have one surround back speaker hook it up to the left surround back terminal.

•If you use a THX certified subwoofer use the THX INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer has one) or switch the filter position to THX on your subwoofer.
