Connections and Setup

Connecting the speakers

Six speakers are provided with the unit (2 front,

1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). To achieve good

surround effects, all six speakers need to be

connected to the receiver.

One speaker wire is provided with each

speaker. Speaker wires are color-coded to

match the terminals.

Connect the speaker wire from the back of

each speaker to the corresponding color

terminal at the back of the unit. Press down

the tab to open the terminal and insert the

wire. Release the tab to lock wire in the

terminal. Do the same for center speaker, rear

speakers and the subwoofer.

Note: When connecting the speakers, make sure

the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the

receiver) of speaker wires and terminals match.

If the cords are reversed, the sound will be

distorted. Do not ground the output line, it will

damage the speaker.

Positioning speakers

Left, Right (Front Speakers)

Front speakers carry primarily music and sound

effects.

Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries

most of the dialog as well as music and effects.

It should be set between the left and right

speakers.

Surround (Rear Speakers)

The rear speakers’ overall sound balance should

be as close as possible to the front speakers.

Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly

distributed sound field.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful

low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of

spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten

the action on the screen.
