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
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, it is a must
to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain a
dequate bass signal.
Center Speaker Setup
Speaker cords
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 terminal and insert
the wire. Snap the tab closed.
To ease speaker connections,
the speaker cords and the
terminals are color-coded.
• Red/Black (Front Speakers),
• Blue/Black (Center Speaker)
• Grey/Black (Rear Speakers).
• Brown/Black (Subwoofer)
Connect the speaker wire
(red/black wire) to the back
of L, R front speakers (red /
black terminals) and to the
corresponding color terminals
on the rear of the receiver. Do the same for center speaker
(with blue/black terminal), rear speakers (with grey/black
terminals) and the subwoofer (with brown/black terminal).
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities
(“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires
and terminals are matched. If the cords 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 (brown/
black) provided.
