Speaker Connection

After all connections are complete, connect the power cord’s plug to the AC wall socket.
< Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit. < Be sure to connect each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the connection cords.
Subwoofer
Before connection
Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of 4 Ω or more.
The black speaker terminals are “_” (negative). Generally, the “+” side of the speaker cable is marked to make it distinguishable from the “_” side of the cable. Connect this marked side to the “+” terminal and the unmarked side to the black “_” terminal.
Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off approximately 3/8” (10 mm) or less of the outer insulation. Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together:
How to connect
1. Unlock the lever of the speaker terminal to connect the cable.
2. Insert the wire into the terminal fully and lock the lever to
securely connect it:
CAUTION
The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short can occur. Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared wired should come in contact with each other. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.
Make sure none of the wire insulation is inserted into the terminal, only the bare, stripped wire.
3. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.

TV DISPLAY
The shape of the TV or monitor may not match the shape of the movie frame. To avoid distortion on older TVs, you may need to change the way in which the image is displayed. TVs use a 4:3 aspect ratio; high-definition TVs use 16:9 aspect ratio (as do movies).
Note:
You may need to read your TV’s manual in conjunction with this section in order to achieve the best results. Some discs do not allow the aspect ratio to be changed and you will therefore have to change the aspect ratio on the T V.
Make this setting while playback is stopped; you cannot do this while playing back a disc.
