Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System
Front speaker (R) Front speaker (L)
Active sub woofer
zTo connect certain speakers to another amplifier
Use the PRE OUT jacks. The same signal is output from both the
SPEAKERS jacks and the PRE OUT jacks. For example, if you
want to connect just the front speakers to another amplifier,
connect that amplifier to the PRE OUT FRONT L and R jacks.
Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about
2/3 inch (10 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 you use front speakers with low maximum input
rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
output on the speakers.
1) See “Speaker impedance” on the next page.
2) You can connect an active sub woofer to either of the two jacks. The
remaining jack can be used to connect a second active sub woofer.
3) If you do not use a center speaker, you can connect a rear center
speaker. For details, see page 18.
