Getting Started
Speaker System Hookups
Overview
This section describes how to connect your speakers to the amplifier. 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.
