up
This section helps you connect your home
theater to a TV and other devices, and then set
it up.
For information about the basic connections
of your home theater and accessories, see the
quick start guide.
Note
For identification and supply ratings, see the type plate
at the back or bottom of the product.

Connect speakers

The speaker cables are color-coded for easy
connection. To connect a speaker to your home
theater, match the color on the speaker cable to
the color on the connector.
Speaker position plays a critical role in setting
up a surround sound effect. For best effect,
position all the speakers towards the seating
position and place them close to your ear level
(seated).
