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.
One speaker wire is attached 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 (1). Release the tab to
lock wire in the terminal (2). 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.
