Quick start guide
Introduction
This ‘Quick start guide’ shows you how to connect your
speakers, TV and DVD player to this receiver, and also
takes you through switching on and playing a DVD disc.
Easy Setup
This section shows you how to connect your speakers,
subwoofer, DVD player and TV to this receiver so you can
start enjoying home cinema sound right away.
Before you start, make sure everything you’re
connecting is switched off and unplugged.
Connecting speakers
This receiver has speaker terminals for front left and
right speakers (
L
and
R
in the diagram), a center speaker
(
C
) and two surround speakers (
RS
and
LS
). The
minimum speaker configuration is just the front left/
right speakers, but we recommend connecting all five if
possible. Note that surround speakers should always be
connected as a pair; do not connect just one surround
speaker. All the speakers you use should have a nominal
impedance between 6–16
Ω.
1
Connect your speakers to the receiver, as shown
in the diagram below.
Prepare the speaker cable by stripping about 1 cm of the
plastic shielding from each speaker wire.
Connect the front speakers to the
FRONT L/R
terminals;
the center speaker to the
CENTER
terminal; and the
surround speakers to the
SURROUND L/R
terminals.
Press on a tab to open a terminal; insert the exposed
wire, then release the tab to secure.
For correct sound it’s important that the positive and
negative terminals of the receiver and each speaker are
matched. To help you do this, attach the supplied
colored self-adhesive labels to one half of each speaker
cable.
2
Connect a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT jack, as shown in the diagram
below.
Use a standard audio cable with RCA/phono plugs.
