Speaker System Hookups

Overview

This section describes how to connect your speakers to the receiver. Although front (left and right) speakers are required, center and rear speakers are optional. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance the surround effects. Connecting an active woofer will increase bass response.

For specific locations of the terminals, see the illustration below.

CONTROL A1 Hookups (USA and Canadian STR-DE705 only)

• If you have a CONTROL A1 compatible Sony CD player

or tape deck

Use a CONTROL A1 cord (not supplied) to connect the

S-LINK CTRL A1 jack on the CD player or tape deck to the

S-LINK CTRL A1 jack on the receiver. Refer the separate

manual “CONTROL-A1 Control System” and the

Operating Instructions supplied with your CD player or

tape deck for details.

• If you have a Sony CD changer with a COMMAND

MODE selector

What cords will I need?

Speaker cord (not supplied) (1 for each speaker)

(+)	(+)
(–)	(–)

Twist the stripped ends of the cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

If the CD changer’s COMMAND MODE selector can be

switched between CD 1, CD 2, and CD 3, be sure to set the

command mode to “CD 1” and connect the changer to the

CD terminals on the receiver.

However, if you have a Sony CD changer with VIDEO

OUT terminals, set the command mode to “CD 2” and

connect the changer to the VIDEO 2 terminals on the

receiver.
