Connecting Your Speakers —Continued
Speaker Configuration
For 5.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need five
speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should
use based on the number of speakers you have.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-
woofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.
Before using the AV receiver, you must specify which
speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 35).
To get the very best from your surround-sound system,
you should also specify the distance between the listener
and each individual speaker so that the sound from each
speaker arrives at the listener’s ears at the same time (see
page 36). In addition, you should set the level of each
individual speaker to achieve an equal balance (see
page 37.)
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and
right. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two
directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to
indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left
and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their
arrows point toward your TV or screen.
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s PRE
OUT: SUBWOOFER to the input on your powered sub-
woofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re
using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT: SUB-
WOOFER to the amp’s input.
Attaching the Speaker Labels
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all
red. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)
The supplied speaker labels are color-coded and you
should attach them to the positive (+) side of each
speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All you
need to do then is to match the color of each label to the
corresponding speaker terminal.
