NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the Antenna and speaker wires at all connection points.
To ease speaker connections, the speaker wires and the terminals are
• | White/Black (Front Left Speaker), |
• | Red/Black (Front Right Speaker), |
• | Green/Black (Center Speaker) |
• | Blue/Black (Rear Left Speaker). |
• | Grey/Black (Rear Right Speaker). |
Speakers
There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects, all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver.
At least two front speakers (left and right) are required. For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.
If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.
• Purple/Black (Subwoofer) |
Connect the L, R speakers at the back of the speakers to the corresponding color on the receiver. Do the same for center (with green/black terminal), rear speaker and the subwoofer (with purple/black termi- nal).
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polari- ties (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass (“out of phase” effect).
Connecting the Subwoofer
Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (pur- ple/ black) provided.
This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more information please refer to section “Fine Setting of the Speakers” in “Advanced Sound Control” on page 21.
