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 full range of sound effects, with
small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with
the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.
Speaker wires
1 for each speaker, is
needed for connection.
Twist the stripped ends of
speaker cord about 2/3
inch (15 mm). Press down
on the tab to open the ter-
minal 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/Black (Front Left Speaker),
• Red/Black (Front Right Speaker),
• Green/Black (Center Speaker)
• Blue/Black (Rear Left Speaker).
• Grey/Black (Rear Right Speaker).
• Purple/Black (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 termi-
nal).
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polari-
ties (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of
speaker wires and terminals are matched. 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 (pur-
ple/ black) provided.
This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a
large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more
information please refer to section “Fine Setting of
the Speakers” in “Advanced Sound Control” on page
21.
