Installation and Configuration
Surround speakers should be placed on
the side walls of the room, at or slightly
behind the listening position. The speakers
should be located so that the bottom of the
cabinet is at least 60cm higher than the
listeners’ ears when in the desired area.
If side wall mounting is not practical, the
speakers may be placed on a rear wall,
behind the listening position. Again, they
should be located so that the bottom of the
cabinet is at least 60cm higher than the
listeners’ ears. The speakers should be no
more than 2 meters behind the rear of the
seating area.
Subwoofers produce virtually non-direc-
tional sound, so they may be placed
almost anywhere in a room. Subwoofer
placement is highly influenced by room
size and shape, and the type of subwoofer
used. Follow the instructions of the sub-
woofer’s manufacturer, or experiment with
the best location for a subwoofer in your
listening room.
Speaker Connections
Once the speakers are positioned in the
room connect them to the rear panel out-
put terminals. For optimal reproduction
we recommend the use of high quality
speaker wire. Wire of 1.5mm
2
or greater is
recommended for short runs (under 5
meters) and wire of 2.5mm
2
or greater is
recommended for longer runs.
NOTE: Be certain to match positive (+)
terminals on the AVR41 to the positive ter-
minals on all speakers. While most speak-
er manufacturers observe the same
red/black color code as the AVR41, some
reverse the pattern.
To connect the front left, right and
centre channel speakers twist the red or
black terminal ¤‹› counterclockwise
until the V-shaped notch at the rear of
the terminal is exposed. Insert the
stripped end of the speaker wire through
the notch and tighten the terminal.
IMPORTANT NOTE:To avoid a short
circuit that will cause the receiver to shut
down, make sure that the wires for one
speaker do not touch any other.
To connect the rear speakers ⁄, hold
the spring clips down and push the wire
through the hole, making certain that
the inner copper conductors do not
separate. Release the clip to secure the
connection.
For proper operation, it is essential that a
speaker be connected to BOTH Rear
Speaker ⁄ terminals. If only one rear
speaker is connected, no sound will be
heard. It is also important that the
impedance of the rear speakers be no
less than 4 ohms each.
Subwoofer connections are made using
the Subwoofer Outputs ·. When
using a powered subwoofer, connect
BOTH the left and right subwoofer out-
puts to the respective left and right line
level inputs on your subwoofer. The
AVR41 subwoofer outputs are full range,
so it may be necessary to adjust the
crossover frequency on the subwoofer’s
control panel to properly match the sub-
woofer to your other speakers. Consult
the subwoofer instructions or consult
your dealer for additional information.
When using a single subwoofer and a
separate mono power amplifier, the
AVR41 subwoofer outputs must be com-
bined using an optional “Y” adapter. If
there is no crossover in the subwoofer an
optional, external low pass filter or
crossover system must be used.
