Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Surround-Sound Speakers
You can connect a pair of speakers to the receiver for surround-sound pro-
grams. Follow the steps in “Connecting the Front Speakers” to connect the
speakers to the
SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals.
Connecting the Center Speaker
The center speaker gives additional ambience to surround sound. Follow the
steps in “Connecting the Front Speakers” to connect the center speaker to the
CENTER SPEAKER terminals.
Connecting a Subwoofer Amplifier
Your receiver includes a line-level subwoofer output. Connecting a subwoofer to
your system dramatically extends bass response for incredible richness and
depth. When you listen to surround-sound programs, a subwoofer enhances
your home theater experience by realistically re-creating the rumble of an earth-
quake, the bone-jarring percussion of a cannon, and more. To use the sub-
woofer output, simply connect
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to an amplified subwoofer’s
line-level input or to an amplifier to which you have connected a subwoofer.
RadioShack stores sell a variety of suitable subwoofers and amplifiers.
