When using the speaker on your TV as the center speaker, connect the
CENTER PREOUT jack on this unit to the audio input jack on your TV. In this
case, the center speaker shown is unnecessary.
Connecting Speakers
A full complement of six speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect
the speakers you have in the manner described below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers
(called “front” speakers in the diagram) but it is recommended to be used with at least three speakers.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left
terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.
The receiver has two speaker systems, A & B. A is the main system supporting the full complement of
surround sound speakers. If you switch on both A & B speaker systems, only front speakers and the
sub-woofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center or surround speakers but multi channel
sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if you choose just
the B system you‘ll only hear the front speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources
will be down-mixed to these two speakers.
• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8
Ω
to 16
Ω
