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 10 mm 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.
Caution
• 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.
Release each tab as indicated, insert the speaker wire,
then return the tab back to it’s original position 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 surround back speaker to the
SURROUND BACK speaker terminals.
5 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.
Caution
• 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.
