! Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t

use the front height speakers / front wide speakers, we recommend placing the surround speaker right beside

you.

! If you intend to connect only one surround back speaker, place it directly behind you.

! Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter directly above the left and right front speakers.

Some tips for improving sound quality

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines

should help you to get the best sound from your system.

! The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re

listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a

wall is not recommended.

! For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

! If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a suffi-

cient distance from your CRT TV.

! If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower

angle.

! Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV

screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of the front left

and right speakers.

! It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use

less of an angle for bigger rooms.

! Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and tilted

slightly downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be

more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback.

! Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speak-

ers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

Connecting the speakers

Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a positive (+) and negative (–) terminal. Make sure to match

these up with the terminals on the speakers themselves.

This unit supports speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 W to 16 W.

CAUTION

! These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when con-

necting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated

parts.

! Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any

of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

Bare wire connections

CAUTION

Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk

of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as

earthquakes.

1 Twist exposed wire strands together.

2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.

3 Tighten terminal.

Notes

! Please refer to the manual that came with your speakers for details on how to connect the other end of the

speaker cables to your speakers.

! Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer. It is not possible to connect using speaker cables.

! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2 terminal.

Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In this

case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.

I have an SC 1224 receiver. I have a couple of Sonos wifi speakers. I have a mesh wifi setup in my home from my internet connection. I would like to play music from the receiver over wifi to my speakers in other parts of the house. I.e. my music is on my phone, I connect my phone to the receiver via Bluetooth, the receiver will output to the speakers wired to it in the same room, a basic setup. Now if I want to extend that music to my wireless speakers in other parts of the house too far away for Bluetooth to reach, I should be able to use my home wifi network, but how do I get the receiver to 'talk' to my home wifi network so that it can pass a signal to my wireless speakers?
