9 Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut to be 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, + and – markings are observed.
10 ABOUT THE A CCESSOR Y TERMINALS A C OUTLETS (U.S.A., Canada and General models) ......... 2 SWITCHED OUTLETS and 1 UNSWITCHED OUTLET (Australia model) ...................................1 SWITCHED OUTLET Use these to connect the power cords from your components to this unit.
11 ENGLISH ANTENNA CONNECTIONS ● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure. ● Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength.
1 Set to “ ∞ ”. 2 Select the front speakers to be used. * If you use two front speaker systems, press both the A and B switches. 3 Set to “DEFEAT”.
Turn up the volume by using the remote control transmitter. You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from the left front speaker, then the center speaker, then the right front speaker, and then the rear speakers, for about two seconds each. The display changes as shown below.
14 Adjust the BALANCE control so that the effect sound output level of the left front speaker and the right front speaker are the same. Make the sound output level of the center speaker the same as that of the front speakers with the CENTER LEVEL key.
Set to the “ ∞ ” position. Select the desired input source with the input selector switches. (For video sources, turn the TV/monitor ON.) * The indicator corresponding to the selected input source will illuminate. Select the front speakers to be used.
