it up. 

For information about the basic connections 

of your home theater and accessories, see the 

quick start guide.

Before you make or change any connections, make sure 

that all devices are disconnected from the power outlet.

Connect speakers

The speaker cables are color-coded for easy 

connection. To connect a speaker to your home 

theater, match the color on the speaker cable to 

the color on the connector.

 

Speaker position plays a critical role in setting 

up a surround sound effect. For best effect, 

position all the speakers towards the seating 

position and place them close to your ear level 

(seated). 

 

* The actual speaker shapes may vary from the 

illustration above.

Note

 

•

Surround sound depends on factors such as room 

shape and size, type of wall and ceiling, windows and 

reflective surfaces, and speaker acoustics. Experiment 

with the speaker positions to find the optimum setting 

for you.
