Tip

•If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Attaching the Speaker Cable Labels

The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification purpose.

Speaker	Color
Front left	White
Front right	Red
Center	Green
Surround left	Blue
Surround right	Gray

The supplied speaker cable labels are also colorcoded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

•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.

Connections

Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

•Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

•By default, speakers for 5.1-channel surround are configured to use: front right/front left /center/ surround right/surround left/subwoofer.

■Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm)

■Banana Plugs (North American models)

•If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

•Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

En-12

Connections

■Speaker Connection Precautions

•You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.

•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 AV receiver.

•Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

•Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

•Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

En-13

Connecting the TV/AV components

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey MultEQ® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position.

Audyssey MultEQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey MultEQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ® and

Audyssey Dynamic Volume® ( pages 49, 50). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

Audyssey MultEQ offers two ways of measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey MultEQ Full Calibration”.

•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one position to perform the speaker setting only.

•“Audyssey MultEQ Full Calibration” uses the measurement from six positions to correct room response in addition to the speaker setting.

The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using a measurement from six positions to create the best listening environment.

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 15 minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Measurement procedure

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to six positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

■First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment.

Audyssey MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

■Second-sixth measurement positions

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up to six positions.
