Connecting your equipment

Connecting the speakers

Before you can start connecting the speakers, make sure

that the speaker cable you’re going to use is properly

prepared with about 10mm of insulator stripped from

each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted

together.

Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a

positive (+) colored, and negative (–) black terminal. For

proper sound you should take care to match these up

with the terminals on the speakers themselves. To assist

you, use the supplied colored self-adhesive tags, affixing

a tag to each end of one half of each cable. Use the

tagged wire for the colored/positive terminal; use the

untagged wire for the black/negative terminal. Use the

different colors to help you identify which speaker cable

attaches to which speaker.

• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted

together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal.

If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back

panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety

measure.

• These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS

VOLTAGE. When you connect or disconnect the

speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock,

do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting

the power cord.

1 Connect the front left and right speakers to the

FRONT L/R speaker terminals.

Press the spring-loaded tab to open a terminal, insert the

speaker wire, then release the tab to secure.

2 Connect the center speaker to the CENTER

speaker terminals.

3 Connect the surround left and right speakers to

the SURROUND L/R speaker terminals.

4 Connect the subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT

jack.

Placing the speakers

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect

on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines

should help you to get the best sound from your system.

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the

other speakers should be at about ear-level when

you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the

floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very

high on a wall is not recommended.

• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers

2–3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so

that the sound of the center channel is localized at

the TV screen.

• When placing speakers near the TV, use

magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible

interference, such as discoloration of the picture

when the TV is switched on. If you do not have

magnetically shielded speakers and notice

discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers

farther away from the TV.

• If possible, install the surround speakers slightly

above ear level.

• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed.

This not only improves sound quality, but also

reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from

speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of

external shocks such as earthquakes.
