SURROUND SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Your B &K receiver has two types of surround outputs: speaker outputs and preamplifier RCA outputs.
Speaker outputs connect from the receiver directly to the speakers in the system using a five-way binding
post. The RCA outputs are used to connect external amplifiers and/or the
subwoofer to the system. RCA connections are described on page 17.
Five-way binding posts are provided for direct speaker connection, one pair for
each channel. Up to 4 gauge speaker wire can be terminated directly into the
bottom of the binding post. Additionally each binding post is designed to
accept a banana-type plug or a spade plug connector. They are color coded
for easy identification. OBSERVE POLARITY WHEN CONNECTING
SPEAKERS! The positive (red) post should always be connected to the speaker's positive (red) jack. The
negative (black) post should always be connected to the speaker's negative (black) jack.
For best acoustic results, be sure to set up speakers using the speaker setup menu. To Setup System
Speakers see page 25. Note: The AVR505 Series2 has five surround speaker output channels.
7.1 Speaker Connection
To connect speakers using a 7.1 or 7.0 speaker configuration see the connection diagram below. The point
one (.1) indicates whether or not the system will use a subwoofer. If a subwoofer is used, connect an RCA
type coaxial cable from the Zone A SUB OUT to the subwoofer.
