Connecting the DVD receiver
Front Left and Right Speakers
• Place the front left and right speakers symmetrically
and so that the distance from the listening position is
the same.
• When placing speakers, direct the speakers toward the
position of the listener’s ears where the listener sits to
enjoy music or movies.
• Place the two speakers so that the heights of the two
speakers are aligned. The ideal height for the speakers
is the height of the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer
Using a subwoofer greatly improves the volume level
and sound quality of bass sounds. The subwoofer
effect depends not only on the listening position but
also on the shape of the listening room.
• In general, place the subwoofer in a corner of the room
or at a point 1/3 the width of the room.
• Play a movie or music that contains high quality bass
sounds to determine the subwoofer placement.
Change the subwoofer’s position and check the effect,
then select the position where the bass sounds are best
heard.
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of
between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a
lower impedance, and use the DVD receiver at high
volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in
protection circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the
DVD receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of
the wire does not have contact
with the DVD receiver’s rear
panel. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
