Speaker System Hookups

Overview

This section describes how to connect your speakers to the amplifier. Although front (left and right) speakers are required, centre, rear speakers, and active woofer are optional. Adding centre 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.
