■ Connecting a Rear Subwoofer
By using both Front and Rear Subwoofers, the CINEMA-DSP sound field
programs can produce realistic movie effects with powerful, dynamic sound. To
take advantage of this dynamic sound, be sure to set the 1C. REAR L/R SP item
in the SET MENU to “LARGE” (see page 41), and connect your Rear speakers
and Subwoofer as shown below.

the REAR R – terminal with speaker cords.

Connect the left + input terminal on your Subwoofer to the REAR
L + terminal, and the left – input terminal on your Subwoofer to the
REAR L – terminal with speaker cords.

Connect your Rear speakers to the output terminals on the Rear
Subwoofer.
Be sure to connect the Rear speakers to the Subwoofer with the correct
polarity.
• Adjust the speaker volume for the Subwoofer with the controls on the Subwoofers,
not on the RX-V1.
