Overview
This section describes how to connect your speakers to
the processor. Although you can connect rear and
centre speakers directly to the processor, front speakers
must be connected through a separate amplifier (as
shown below). Connecting an active woofer will
increase bass response.
For specific locations of the terminals, see the
illustration below.
For optimum surround sound effect, place your
speakers as shown below.
