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.
