Surround back speaker (or subwoofer)

025 minute guide

•If you are using only one surround back speaker, connect the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal (shown below).

•If you select subwoofer (SB SW) in the Surround back speaker setting on page 46 you can hook up a subwoofer instead of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals. Connect the wires just as above (and as shown below), connecting the positive wire to the right channel (+) terminal, and the negative wire to the left channel (–) terminal.

4Plug in the receiver and switch it on, followed by your DVD player, your subwoofer and the TV.

Make sure you’ve set the video input on your TV to this receiver. Check the manual that came with the TV if you don’t know how to do this.

Also make sure that DVD/LD is showing in the receiver’s display, indicating that the DVD input is selected. If it isn’t, press DVD/LD on the remote control to set the receiver to the DVD input.

5Press QUICK SETUP on the front panel to specify your speaker setup, room size and listening position.

Use the MULTI JOG dial to select and ENTER to confirm your selection. See Using the Quick Setup on page 13 if you’re unsure about the settings.

6Play a DVD, and adjust the volume to your liking.

There are several other sound options you can select. See Introduction to Sound Modes on page 36 for more on this. See also Choosing your receiver setup on page 44 for more setup options.

•Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case, the listening mode must be set to STANDARD (it should already be set—see Listening to multi-channel playback on page 38 if you need to do this) if you want multi-channel surround sound.
