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

•If you have a CONTROL A1 compatible Sony CD player or tape deck

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

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” or “CD 3” and connect the changer to a set of the receiver’s video component terminals (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or LD).

What cords will I need?

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

Twist the stripped ends of the cord about 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.
