Getting Started
Connecting the Speakers
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 the full sound range, use the
subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass
signal.
Speaker wires
One for each speaker, is needed for connection. Press
down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the
wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.
To ease speaker connections, the speaker wires and the
terminals are color-coded.
• White/Grey Striped (Front Left Speaker),
• Red/Grey Striped (Front Right Speaker),
• Green/Grey Striped (Center Speaker)
• Blue/Grey Striped (Rear Left Speaker).
• Grey/Grey Striped (Rear Right Speaker).
• Purple/Grey Striped (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 terminal).
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities
of speaker wires and terminals are matched (“+”
speaker wire to “+” on the receiver). 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 (purple/
grey striped) provided.

insert wire.
NOTE
Match the grey striped speaker wire to the
black terminal on the speaker and the
receiver.
