Connect the speakers

Connect the speaker cords to match the color of the FRONT SPEAKERS jacks on the rear of the subwoofer and SUR SPEAKERS jacks on the rear of the wireless amplifier.

Note

  • Disconnect the AC power cords (mains leads) of the TV and devices from the AC outlets (mains) in advance. The AC power cords (mains leads) must be reconnected in step 3.
  • Place the subwoofer 5 cm (2 in) or more away from a TV rack, walls, etc.
  • Check the labels on the bottom of each surround speaker to identify “SUR L” (left) and “SUR R” (right).

Connect with a TV

  • If your TV does not support the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, connect an optical digital cable (not supplied) to listen to the TV sound.
    Note
  • Check the shape of the TV IN (OPTICAL) jack on the subwoofer and the optical digital cable’s connector, then insert the connector into the jack in the right direction. If you insert the connector in the wrong direction, the connector and jack may be damaged.
