Chapter 2: Connecting Components and Speakers

Surround left and right speakers
■ Place the surround speakers approximately 40 inches (1 meter) above the
ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right or slightly behind
the listener.
Surround back speaker
■ Place the surround back speaker at the rear center of your listening area
facing toward the listening area at a slightly higher position
(0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.
■ We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly
downward facing angle. This helps prevent the surround back channel
signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center.
Subwoofer
■ The powerful deep bass sounds produced by the subwoofer are
non-directional, meaning you cannot tell where the sound is coming from.
Place the subwoofer anywhere in your room. The closer to a wall or corner
that you place your subwoofer the bassier the sound becomes.
Making the connections
Connect speakers firmly and correctly according to their channel (left and right)
and their polarity (+ and –). If the connections are faulty, the speakers will not
reproduce sound. If the polarity of the connections are incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
Warning Use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or above.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any
metal part of this receiver. This could damage the receiver
and/or the speakers.
