Connect Your Speakers

How to use the AVR speaker terminals:
1. Unscrew Cap 2. Insert Bare Wire
Always connect the colored (+) terminal on the AVR to the (+) terminal on the speaker
(usually red), and the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the (–) terminal on the speaker
(usually black).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( – ) bare wires do not touch each other or the other
terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your AVR.
Connect the speakers as shown in the illustration.

Connect Your Subwoofer

Use a single RCA audio cable to connect your subwoofer to AVR's Subwoofer
Pre-Out connector, as shown in the illustration below. (For the AVR 1710/AVR 171 you
can use either the Subwoofer 1 or Subwoofer 2 connector when you're using a single
subwoofer, or you may connect two subwoofers for increased bass performance in larger
listening rooms.) Consult your subwoofer's user manual for specific information about
making connections to it.

Connect Your TV or Video Display

If your TV has an HDMI connector: Use an HDMI cable (not included) to connect it to
the AVR's HDMI Out connector. (For the AVR 1710/AVR 171 you can use either HDMI Out
connector.) You do not need to make any other connections to your TV from the AVR or
from any of your video source components.

AVR 1710/AVR 171 only: Connect a single TV to the HDMI Out 1 connector. If you have a
second TV you can connect it to the AVR's HDMI Out 2 connector. Both TVs will display the
same picture, but the HDMI Out 2 connector will not output the AVR's on-screen display
and does not have Audio Return Channel capability (see below).
Note: If your TV is equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, you can feed
its sound to the AVR via the HDMI Out connector's Audio Return Channel, and it will not
require additional audio connections to the AVR. (For the AVR 1710/AVR 171 the ARC is
available only on the HDMI Out 1 connector.)
