By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in digital software.

Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cord with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

After connecting all the speakers and/or a subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible surround effect. For details, see pages 14 to 17.

NOTE

You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

6

Connecting video components

You can use composite video cables or S-video cables for video connection. By using the S-video cable, you can get better picture quality.

•If your video components have digital output terminal, also connect them using the digital terminals explained in “Digital connection” (see page 9). By using these terminals, you can get better sound quality.

CAUTIONS:

•The video signals from one type of input terminals are transmitted only through the video output terminals of the same type. Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the video terminals of different type, you cannot record the picture. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the video terminals of different type, you cannot view the playback picture on the TV.

•If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic equalizer between the source components and this receiver, the sound output through this receiver may be distorted.

DO NOT use a TV through a VCR or a TV with a built-in VCR; otherwise, the picture may be distorted.

Turn off all components before making connections.
