Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Surround-Sound Speakers
You can connect a pair of speakers to the receiver for surround-sound pro-
grams. Follow the steps in “Connecting the A and B Speakers” to connect the
speakers to the
REAR SPEAKERS terminals.
Connecting the Center Speaker
The center speaker gives additional ambience to surround sound. Connect the
center speaker to the
CENTER SPEAKER terminals. Follow the steps in “Connect-
ing the A and B Speakers.”
Connecting Center Channel and Subwoofer Amplifiers
To increase the center channel’s output power, you can connect an amplifier to
the
CENTER PRE OUT jack. Then connect the center channel speaker to the am-
plifier.
Your receiver includes a line-level subwoofer output. Connecting a subwoofer to
your system dramatically extends bass response for incredible richness and
depth. When you listen to surround-sound programs, a subwoofer enhances
your home theater experience by realistically recreating the rumble of an earth-
quake, the bone-jarring percussion of a cannon, and more. To use the subwoof-
er output, simply connect
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to an amplified subwoofer’s line-
level input or to an amplifier to which you have connected a subwoofer.
RadioShack stores sell a variety of suitable subwoofers and amplifiers.
