Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a
positive (+) red, and negative (–) black terminal. For
proper sound you should take care to match these up
with the terminals on the speakers themselves.
• If you only have one surround back speaker, hook it
up to the surround back left (
Single
) terminal.
• If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front
speaker setting (see
Speaker Setting
on page 55) to
LARGE
.
Caution
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal.
If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel
it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going to use is
properly prepared with about 10 mm of insulator stripped
from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted
together (
fig. A
).
To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a few turns
until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire
(
fig. B
). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal
until the wire is firmly clamped (
fig. C
).
Where you place the speakers will have a big effect on the
sound. Place your speakers as shown below for the best
surround sound effect. For more tips on speaker
placement, see
Placing the speakers
on page 29.
4 Plug in the receiver and switch it on, followed by
your DVD player, your subwoofer and the TV.
Make sure you’ve set the video input on your TV to this
receiver. Check the manual that came with the TV if you
don’t know how to do this.
Also make sure that
DVD/LD
is showing in the receiver’s
display, indicating that the DVD input is selected. If it
isn’t, press
DVD/LD
on the remote control to set the
receiver to the DVD input.
5 Use the on-screen Auto Surround setup to set up
your system.
See
Automatically setting up for surround sound
on the
next page for more on this.
6 Play a DVD, and adjust the volume to your liking.
In addition to the basic playback explained in
Playing a
source
on page 14, there are several other sound options
you can select. See
Listening to your system
on page 38
for more on this. See also
Making receiver settings from
the Surround Setup menu
on page 54 for more setup
options.
• If you’re not familiar with the proper DVD settings,
refer to
Checking the settings on your DVD (or other)
player
on page 14.
