System Hookup
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are
color-coded for easy identification. (The negative (–)
speaker terminals are all black.)
The supplied speaker labels are also 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.
Connecting Speakers
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver’s SUB-
WOOFER PRE OUT to an input on your powered sub-
woofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and
you’re using an external amplifier, connect the SUB-
WOOFER PRE OUT to an input on the amp.
Note:
Make sure the plug is pushed in all the way.
