3 Connect to speakers
The SPA22 can directly drive the five
loudspeakers in a surround system. In
addition it provides line-level outputs
for seven full-frequency channels and
one subwoofer.
If your surround system does not
include a full set of speakers, the
SPA22 will distribute the signals from
these channels to the other channels
as appropriate in your system.
•
Connect the front, centre, and
surround loudspeaker outputs to the
loudspeakers in your system.
If your system includes both side
surround and back surround speakers:
•
Connect the SURR BACK analog
outputs to the input of a stereo
power amplifier.
If your system includes a subwoofer:
•
Connect the SUB analog output to
the audio input of the subwoofer.
4 Connect sources
The SPA22 is supplied with 9 standard
sources already configured; see

, page 4.
For example, to connect a DVD player:
•
Connect the component output to
Component 1 on the SPA22.
•
Connect the digital audio output to
digital input 4 on the SPA22.
Alternatively you can configure up
to 15 sources to use the particular
combination of analogue, digital,
and video input you prefer; for more

of speakers you have in your surround
