Speaker System Hookups

Overview
This section describes how to connect your speakers to
the receiver. Although front (left and right) speakers
are required, center and surround speakers are
optional. Adding center and surround speakers will
enhance the surround effects. Connecting an active
woofer will increase bass response. For specific
locations of the terminals, see the illustration below.
