4. CONNECTING SPEAKERS
• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according
to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+and-).
If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from
the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is
incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
• Connect the SUBWOOFER PREOUT jack to the
active(powered) subwoofer.(For details on the operation of
the subwoofer, refer to “OPERATION OF ACTIVE
SUBWOOFER” on page 14.)
Caution :
• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms
or above.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any
metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or
the speakers
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Place the speakers as follows :
• Front speakers: Place the front speakers with their front
surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen
as possible.
• Subwoofer: Place the subwoofer any where in the front as
desired because the low frequencies it
reproduces are non-directional.
5. AC INPUT CORD
Plug this cord into a wall AC outlet.

Notes :
• To output the digital audio signals, you should set the SPDIF Output to “(SPDIF/) RAW” or “(SPDIF/) PCM” (Refer to “When
selecting the SPDIF Output” on page 35.)
• When the DIGITAL OUT of the unit is connected to the DIGITAL IN of an amplifier which does not contain the Dolby Digital or
DTS decoder, etc.(which processes the bitstream digital), you should set the SPDIF Output to “(SPDIF/)PCM”. If not, loud
noise or no sound may be heard from the speakers, and it may be harmful to your ears and damage the speaker.
• Even when the DIGITAL OUT is connected to MD recorder or CD recorder, because digital recording cannot perform properly
for the digital audio signals(such as Dolby Digital, DTS bitstream, etc.) other than PCM(2 channel) of 48 or 44.1 kHz, be sure
to check the digital audio signal format before digital recording.(For details, refer to the operating instructions of the
component connected.)
Audio output from the unit’s OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT
Note 1 : The type of audio output from the OPTICAL
DIGITAL OUT can be selected by the SPDIF output
settings.
