Speaker System Hookups
Overview
This section describes how to connect your speakers to
the amplifier. Although front (left and right) speakers
are required, centre, rear speakers, and active woofer
are optional. Adding centre and rear speakers will
enhance the surround effects. Connecting an active
woofer will increase bass response.
For specific locations of the terminals, see the
illustration below.
