Speaker System Connections

Connect the speakers using the supplied
speaker cords by matching the colors of
the terminals and those of the cords. To
obtain the best possible surround sound,
adjust the speaker parameters (distance,
level, etc.).
otes
Be sure to match the speaker cord to
the appropriate terminal on the com-
ponents: + to + and – to –. If the
cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and lack bass.
If you use front speakers with low
maximum input rating, adjust the vol-
ume carefully to avoid excessive vol-
ume output to the speakers.
Do not disassemble the front covers
of supplied speakers.

Speaker Positioning

In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).
If you want to hear deeper bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect an optional
active subwoofer (has its own built-in amplifier).
• Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval
between speakers at 45 degree.
• Center speaker
It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers are
same height. But normally place it above or below the televi-
sion as shown below.
• Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speak-
ers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for sur-
round playback. For best results, do not install the rear
speakers too far behind the listening position, install them at
or above the level of the listener's ears. It is also effective to
direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further
disperse the sound.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to
the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each other, and
set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cm above the listener's ears.
• Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

If you feel there is a lack
of full bass sound
Connect an active subwoofer to
the WOOFER OUT connector
using a monaural audio cord
(not supplied). When you con-
nect an active subwoofer, dis-
connect the subwoofer from
the WOOFER speaker con-
nector.
