How to connect: Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of 6 ohms or more. 1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it.
Positioning of the Speakers The positioning of speakers differs according to the size and acoustics of the listening room. While actually listening to a program source, try various speaker positions to determine which layout provides the best surround effect. • Ideally, position all the speakers in a circle, with the same distance from your listening position. • Place the speakers connected to “L” to your left, and “R” to your right.
