Connecting Speakers - RCA Audio/Video Receiver Owner's Manual

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

A full complement of six speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone' s home setup will vary. Simply
connect the speakers you have in the manner described below. The receiver will work with just two stereo
speakers (called "front" speakers in the diagram) but it is recommended to be used with at least three
speakers.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left
terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the
speakers.
The receiver has two speaker systems, A & B. A is the main system supporting the full
memo
complement of surround sound speakers. If you switch on both A & B speaker systems, only
front speakers and the sub-woofer will be audible. No sound will come from the center or
surround speakers but multi channel sources will be down-mixed to the active speakers so no
sound will be lost. Similarly, if you choose just the B system you'll only hear from the front
speakers connected to the B system and multi channel sources will be down-mixed to these
two speakers. Please use speakers rated between 6 W - 16 W.
