RTD209 EN 26/4/06 3:21 PM Page 9 3 3 Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Connections and Setup Connecting the speakers Six speakers are provided with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). To achieve good surround effects, all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver. EN One speaker wire is provided with each speaker. Speaker wires are color-coded to match the terminals. Connect the speaker wire from the back of each speaker to the corresponding color terminal at the back of the unit. Press down the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Release the tab to lock wire in the terminal. Do the same for center speaker, rear speakers and the subwoofer. Note: When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities ("+" speaker wire to "+" on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals match. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted. Do not ground the output line, it will damage the speaker. Positioning speakers 1 Left, Right (Front Speakers) Front speakers carry primarily music and sound 1 effects. 2 Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects. 2 It should be set between the left and right speakers. 3 Surround (Rear Speakers) The rear speakers' overall sound balance should 1 be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten the action on the screen.
