To ease speaker connections, the speaker cords and the ter- minals are color-coded.

Red/Black (Front Speakers),

Blue/Black (Center Speaker)

Grey/Black (Rear Speakers).

Brown/Black (Subwoofer)

Connect the speaker wire (red/black wire) to the back of L, R front speakers (red / black terminals) and to the corre- sponding color terminals on the rear of the receiver. Do the same for center speaker (with blue/black terminal), rear speakers (with grey/black terminals) and the subwoofer (with brown/black terminal).

Speaker Polarity

When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass (“out of phase” effect).

Connecting the Subwoofer

Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (brown/ black) provided.

Speakers

There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 cen- ter, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver

For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.

If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, it is a must to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain ade- quate bass signal.

Speaker cords

1 for each speaker, is needed for connection. Twist the stripped ends of speaker cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Snap the tab closed.

Antenna and Speaker

Wire Connection

Push Speaker terminal tab down to insert wire.

Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the Antenna and speaker wires at all connection points.
