Speaker Connections
Home theater is designed to be setup with five speakers (front left & right; center; surround left & right) and a
subwoofer but you can use this receiver with fewer speakers. Hook up the speakers you have to the
speaker A
terminals on the back of the receiver. If you only have two speakers hook them up as "FRONT." If you have
three hook up the single speaker as "CENTER." Follow the diagram on p.19 in order to hook up all your speakers.
A center speaker is very important for watching films because the dialog comes from the center speaker in
digital soundtracks.
If you do not have a CENTER speaker you must tell the receiver the CENTER channel
is OFF or when you listen to digital soundtracks you won't hear any dialog. Use the instructions on page
31-32 in order to do this.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left
terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the amplifier match those on the speakers.

Optical Digital Connection
If your DVD player has an optical terminal (not a PCM-only output) for the audio out you can hook it up using this
following the diagram below. You will need to assign the digital input (tell the receiver which input you put your
DVD digital audio into). See the page 6 for this.
