How to connect

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

Caution

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

OUTPUT TERMINALS (FOR DRIVING SPEAKERS WITH EXTERNAL AMPLIFIERS)
MAIN OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the main channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive the main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

*Output signals from the MAIN OUTPUT terminals are affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, and BALANCE.

However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal.

If you are placing two center speakers on each side of the TV, use two amplifiers and connect each amplifier to one of the two CENTER OUTPUT terminals. Then connect the center speakers to the amplifiers.

REAR (SURROUND) OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the rear channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive the rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal

This terminal is for connecting to the input terminal of an amplifier for driving a subwoofer.

When the input signals to this unit are in normal 2-channel stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 90 Hz from the main and center channels. When discrete signals are input to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.

CENTER OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the center channel line output. There is

no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in

Note

amplifier.

Output levels of signals from all of these terminals are adjusted by the use of VOLUME on the front panel or

VOLUME ( ) on the remote control transmitter.
