ConnectingSpeakers to Back of Amplifier or Receiver
If you connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV as
described on page 44, connect the speakers to the
amplifier/receiver
instead of the TV. Sound from the TV
will then come through the amplifier/receiver
and the TV's
internal speakers.
If desired, you can turn off the TV's
internal speakers with the SPEAKERS
ON/OFF
function
described on page 12.
The diagram below shows how to connect external
speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of a typical
amplifier/receiver.
Check the owner's manual for your
amplifier/receiver
if its speaker terminals
look different
than those shown below.
1st Set of Speakers
Connect
to A Terminals
(Optional)
2nd Set of Speakers
Connect
to B Terminals
Notes:
After connecting
speaker wire, pull it gently and check that it is
connected
securely
to its terminals..
Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its termin_tl or contact other
wires or terminals.
If the cores of two wires touch each other_ damage to
components
could result. "
, Important:
When connecting
th e speaker.wire,
make sure you connect
the (+) terminal on the amplifier or receiver
to the (+) terminal on the
speaker.
One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a white
stripe, to help you connect (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
If the (+) and (-)
terminals
are not matched properly,
the speakers will not be "in phase"
causing rcduc!ion in low frequencies
(bass).
Caution:
Donot
connect external
speakers to more than one audio
source at a time.
You can connect a
set of speakers
to either the TV or the
amplifier but not to both at the same
time. If you connect the same
_pcakcrs to both the TV and the
amplifier (or to more than one set of
terminals),
you will probably damage
your equipment.'
