Connections

This section involves various methods of connecting the AV receiver to other external components.

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Speaker positioning

Position of AV Receiver

Place AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

Subwoofer function

Active subwoofer with integrated 150W amplifier provides rich bass sound.

~ Connect the SW OUT terminal of the amplifier to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer speaker.

~Press the POWER button on the rear side of the subwoofer to turn the power on.

~Using the subwoofer???s VOLUME control, you can set the desired bass level (See page 35 "Setting the speaker level" to set the subwoofer level in the menu).

Front Speakers

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45??) toward you. Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ears.

Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speaker.

14

Speaker positioning (continued)

Center speaker

It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.

You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Surround Speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.

Place them about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90cm) above your ears, facing slightly downward.

Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Surround Back Speakers SBL SBR

If you are using two rear center speakers, place them facing forward from behind the listening position. Place the surround back speaker about 2.3-3.3feet (70 cm to 1 m).

M ` When you attach the speakers to a wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.

Speaker Configuration

For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.

2 speakers 3 speakers 4 speakers 5 speakers 6 speakers 7 speakers
