CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM

IMPORTANT:

Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any

connections.

FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND / SUBWOOFER

SPEAKERS

Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving

the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure proper polarity of

connection.

Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the

receiver.

To connect, insert the colored wire into the matching positive

(colored) terminal and the other wire into the negative (black)

terminal as shown below.

Note that the color-coded tabs are as follows:

• Red : Front right (R)

• White : Front left (L)

• Green : Center speaker

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the

speakers.

Match the colored wire with the color-coded label (above the

tabs), then insert the colored wire into the red (+) tab and the

other wire with the black (–) tab.

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

SUBWOOFER

Sound spreads in all directions in the very low frequency range.

Human hearing cannot easily detect the source of very low

frequencies. Be sure to provide a space of at least 8 inches (20

cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.

FRONT SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeaker should be positioned near ear

level and the loudspeakers separated a distance approximately

equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward

towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central

listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the

midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner

location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image

performance may be degraded.

CENTER SPEAKER

The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best

results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the TV.

If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to the

floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.

SURROUND SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeakers should be positioned at or

above ear level. Depending upon your room layout and

preferences, the left and right rear speakers should be positioned

on the side walls just the rear of the listening position, or on the

walls.
