Connecting up
Important
• Before making or changing any
connections, switch off the power and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
• When making cable connections, make
sure not to bend the cables over the top of
this unit. This may cause a humming noise
from the speakers.

Connecting the speaker terminals

Connect the wires from the speakers to the
terminals on the main unit rear panel as shown
below. Before connecting, you may want to
consider the placement options available in
your room, and when using this system:
• EV5DVD model only – Place the front left
and right speakers at equal distances from
the TV, then connect them as shown below.
See Optional surround speaker connections
on page 10 to connect surround speakers.
• EV7DVD/EV9DVD model only – A color-coded
system is provided for speaker connections
(see Multichannel speaker connections
below). See Home theater sound setup on
page 21 for surround placement options.
Caution
• Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier
other than the one supplied with this
system. Connection to any other amplifier
may result in a malfunction or fire.
• Make sure that the bare speaker wires
cannot touch each other, or come into
contact with other metal parts once the
unit is switched on.
Note
1 The speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded (except for the surround speakers, which should not be
placed near a TV or monitor). However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen.
If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15 to 30 minutes.
