Placing the Speakers
Front Left and Right Speakers
• Place the front left and right speakers symmetrically
and so that the distance from the listening position is
the same.
• When placing speakers, direct the speakers toward the
position of the listener’s ears where the listener sits to
enjoy music or movies.
• Place the two speakers so that the heights of the two
speakers are aligned. The ideal height for the speakers
is the height of the listener’s ears.
TV or screen
FLFR
FL: Front left speaker
FR: Front right speaker
Subwoofer
Using a subwoofer greatly improves the volume level
and sound quality of bass sounds. The subwoofer
effect depends not only on the listening position but
also on the shape of the listening room.
• In general, place the subwoofer in a corner of the room
or at a point 1/3 the width of the room.
• Play a movie or music that contains high quality bass
sounds to determine the subwoofer placement.
Change the subwoofer’s position and check the effect,
then select the position where the bass sounds are best
heard.
Connecting Your Speakers
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of
between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the
connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6
ohms, be sure to set the speaker impedance to
“4:~16:” (see page 18). If you use speakers with a
lower impedance, and use the DVD receiver at high
volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in
protection circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the
DVD receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of
the wire does not have contact
with the DVD receiver’s rear
panel. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Thumbtacks, etc.
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 20).
Black
Once your DVD receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust
the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from
your DVD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and
power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 20).

Connecting the DVD receiver—Continued
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
