Connecting the Speakers
You can connect the following speakers:
•
Two sets of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound
•
One set of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect
•
One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to make human
voices outstanding)
•
One subwoofer to enhance the bass
For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect one end of the speaker signal
cable (not supplied) to the speaker terminal on the rear panel and the other end to
the speaker. (For connecting a subwoofer, see page 8.)
1. Open each terminal.
2. Insert the end of the speaker signal cable as shown (be
sure to remove the insulation at the end of each wire
first).
3. Close the terminals to clamp the speaker signal cables
firmly in place.
4. Connect the (–) and (+) terminals on the rear panel to
the (–) and (+) terminals marked on the speakers.
Connecting the front speakers
Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals.
CAUTION:
When connecting speakers, use
speakers with the SAME
IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.

Notes:
•
When you connect rear
speakers, make sure that both
left and right speakers are
connected; otherwise, no
sound will come out of the
rear speakers.
•
You can register the center
speaker size after you finish
its connection. If you register
it, you do not have to set the
center speaker mode while
setting the surround mode. (If
you do not use a center
speaker, register that
information.) See page 15.
