Overview

This section describes how to connect your speakers to the receiver. Although front (left and right) speakers are required, center and surround speakers are optional. Adding center and surround speakers will enhance the surround effects. Connecting an active woofer will increase bass response. For specific locations of the terminals, see the illustration below.
