ENGLISH CONNECTIONS SPEAKER PLACEMENT The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7-speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, a surround back and a subwoofer. For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side.
CONNECTING AUDIO COMPONENTS L L R R L R CONNECTING A SUBWOOFER Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a powered subwoofer (power amplifier built in ). If your subwoofer is a passive type (power amplifier is not built in), connect a monaural power amplifier to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack and connect the subwoofer to the amplifier.
