If you are using the AVR40 to switch video inputs, connect the Monitor output , to a video input on your TV or projector. The rear panel accessory outlets on the AVR40 may be used to power low current devices such as CD players or tape decks.

This Installation and Configuration 12 Center Front Speaker No more than 24 Left Front Speaker Right Front Speaker Surround speakers should be placed on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. The speakers should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least 24 higher than the listeners' ears when in the desired area. If side wall mounting is not practical, the speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. Again, they should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least 24 higher than the listeners' ears. The speakers should be no more than 6 behind the rear of the seating area. Subwoofers produce non-directional sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Subwoofer placement is highly influenced by room size and shape, and the type of subwoofer used. Follow the instructions of the subwoofer's manufacturer, or experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room. Speaker Connections Once the speakers are positioned in the room connect them to the rear panel output terminals. For optimal reproduction we recommend the use of high quality speaker wire. Wire of AWG 16 or greater is recommended for short runs (under 15) and wire of AWG 14 or greater is recommended for longer runs. Be certain to observe polarity when connecting speakers by connecting the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the AVR40 to like terminals on the speakers. To connect the front left, right and center channel speakers twist the red or black terminal ¤<> counterclockwise until the V-shaped notch at the rear of the terminal is exposed. Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire through the notch and tighten the terminal until it is tight.
