Connecting Your Speakers

—Continued

Note:

When speaker set B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced
to 2.1-channel playback.

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s SUB-
WOOFER PRE OUT to an input on your powered sub-
woofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and
you’re using an external amplifier, connect the SUB-
WOOFER PRE OUT to an input on the amp.

Note:

Make sure the cable is plugged all the way.

The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals.

Connecting Speaker

1

Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insu-
lation from the ends of the
speaker cables, and twist
the bare wires tightly, as
shown.

2

While pressing the lever, insert
the wire into the hole, and then
release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the
insulation.
