Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Surround-Sound Speakers
You can connect a pair of speakers to the receiver for surround-sound pro-
grams. Follow the steps in “Connecting the A and B Speakers” to connect the
speakers to the
REAR SPEAKERS
terminals.
Connecting the Center Speaker
The center speaker gives additional ambience to surround sound. Follow the
steps in “Connecting the A and B Speakers” to connect the center speaker to
the
CENTER SPEAKER
terminals.
Connecting a Subwoofer Amplifier
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 the sub-
woofer output, simply connect
SUBWOOFER
to an amplified subwoofer’s line-
level input or to an amplifier to which you have connected a subwoofer.
RadioShack stores sell a variety of suitable subwoofers and amplifiers.
