OUTPUT TERMINALS (FOR DRIVING SPEAKERS WITH EXTERNAL AMPLIFIERS)
MAIN OUTPUT terminals
These terminals are for the main channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
However, if you drive the main speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an
integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
* Output signals from the MAIN OUTPUT terminals are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, and BALANCE.
CENTER OUTPUT terminals
These terminals are for the center channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
How to connect
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and –
markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
For connecting to the MAIN SPEAKERS
terminals
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
1 Unscrew the knob.
2 Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5 mm
(1/4”) insulation from the
speaker wires.]
3 Tighten the knob and
secure the wire.
1 Press the tab.
2 Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5 mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.]
3 Release the tab and
secure the wire.
However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power
amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to
this terminal.
If you are placing two center speakers on each side of the TV,
use two amplifiers and connect each amplifier to one of the two
CENTER OUTPUT terminals. Then connect the center
speakers to the amplifiers.
REAR (SURROUND) OUTPUT terminals
These terminals are for the rear channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
However, if you drive the rear speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an
integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal
This terminal is for connecting to the input terminal of an
amplifier for driving a subwoofer.
When the input signals to this unit are in normal 2-channel
stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 90 Hz from
the main and center channels. When discrete signals are input
to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal
outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.
Note
Output levels of signals from all of these terminals are
adjusted by the use of VOLUME on the front panel or
VOLUME ( ) on the remote control transmitter.
