Chapter 1: Connections and Setup Connecting the Speakers For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and subwoofer are preferred. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response. If you want to enjoy a full frequency range of sound effects, it is recommended to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal for the surround sound effect. Speaker cords, 1 for each speaker, are needed for connection. Twist the stripped ends of speaker cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Snap the tab closed. To ease speaker connections, the speaker cords and the terminals are color-coded into: Red/Black (Main Speakers), Blue/Black (Center Speaker) and Grey/ Black (Rear Speakers). Use the black wires for the negative terminal connections. When connecting the speakers, make sure the colors of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass. Connecting the Antennas The AM and FM antennas connect to the AM and FM terminals on the system's back panel. They must be hooked up in order to receive clear reception. Uncoil the antenna wires and locate the bare ends. Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Snap the tab closed. After connecting the antennas, extend them to their full length and adjust their positioning for better reception. Remember to place your antenna wires away from speakers wires and any cables for best reception. Connecting the Subwoofer Connect the subwoofer with the audio cord (brown/ black) provided. If you want to connect your own powered subwoofer, refer to the owner's manual for the subwoofer.
