Making Connections
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the audio/video receiver, ensure
that the AVR’s AC cord is unplugged from the receiver and the AC outlet.
Making connections with the receiver plugged in and turned on could damage
the speakers.
Connect Your Speakers
After you have placed your loudspeakers in the room as explained in Place Your Speakers,
on page 13, connect each speaker to its color-coded terminal on the AVR as explained
in Speaker Connections, on page 14. Connect the speakers as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: If you installed front height speakers, connect them as shown for the SBL and
SBR speakers.
Connect Your Subwoofer
Use a single RCA audio cable to connect the AVR’s Subwoofer connector to your
subwoofer as explained in Subwoofer Connections, on page 14. Consult your subwoofer’s
user manual for specific information about making connections to it.
