Speaker Configuration
The following table indicates the channels you should
use depending on the number of speakers that you
have.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered
subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and
solid bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system,
you need to set the speaker settings automatically
(
➔
page 23 ) or manually (
➔
page 59 ).
*1 Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used
at the same time.
Using Powered Subwoofers
To find the best position for your subwoofer, while
playing a movie or some music with good bass,
experiment by placing your subwoofer at various
positions within the room, and choose the one that
provides the most satisfying results.
You can connect the powered subwoofer with two
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively.
The same signal is output from each jack.
Tip
• If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an
external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an
input on the amplifier.
Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels
The speaker terminals are color-coded for
identification purpose.
The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-
coded and you should attach them to the positive (+)
side of each speaker cable in accordance with the
table above. Then all you need to do is to match the
color of each label to the corresponding speaker
terminal.
