Connecting the AV controller
The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier. You connect the AV controller’s
PRE OUT jacks to the amplifier’s inputs, and connect your speakers to the amplifier’s speakers terminals. Speaker
settings such as crossover frequency and distance are set on the AV controller.
Speaker Configuration
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.
* If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L output.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically
(see page 51) or manually (see page 91).
Note:
Front high, surround back and front wide speakers produce no sound at the same time.
Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV controller’s PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER to an input on your powered subwoofer,
as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT: SUB-
WOOFER to an input on the amp.
You can connect the powered subwoofer with two PREOUT: SUBWOOFER jacks respectively.
The same signal is output from each jack.
