REAR SPEAKERS
terminals
for surround-sound programs. Follow the steps in “Connecting the A and B
Speakers.”
Connecting the Center Speaker
The center speaker gives additional ambience to surround sound. Connect the
center speaker to the
CENTER SPEAKER
terminals. Follow the steps in “Con-
necting the A and B Speakers.”
Connecting a Subwoofer Amplifier (STAV-3570 Only)
Your receiver includes a line-level subwoofer output. Connecting a subwoofer to
your system dramatically extends bass response for incredible richness and
depth. When you listen to surround-sound programs, a subwoofer enhances
your home theater experience by realistically recreating the rumble of an earth-
quake, the bone-jarring percussion of a cannon, and more.
To use this output, simply connect it to an amplified subwoofer’s line-level input
or to an amplifier connected to a subwoofer.
RadioShack stores sell a variety of suitable subwoofers and amplifiers.
Note:
Be sure you connect the
receiver’s right and left positive (+) and
negative (–) terminals to the speaker’s
corresponding right and left positive (+)
and negative (–) terminals.
