Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
To prevent speaker vibration or movement while listening, attach the supplied foot pads at the bottom of the speakers.
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals. Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 10 mm (2/3 inch). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and to. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass. If you use speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation. After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 20.
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal, the stripped end of another speaker cord, or the metal parts of the receiver.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one whose name is currently displayed on the receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
To avoid damaging your speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume before you turn off the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the volume remains at the level you turn off the receiver.

Specifying the speaker parameters
Normal Speaker and Micro Satellite Speaker
For HT-DDW840 and HT-DDW740, the speaker size and the sub woofer selection has been preset to MICRO SP. (Micro Satellite Speaker) according to the supplied speaker system. When you select MICRO SP., the speaker size and sub woofer selection has been configurated as follows:

Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 15) to a distance 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer to your listening position (B on page 15).
x Surround speaker distance ( DIST. XX.X m (ft.))
For example, setting the center speaker distance 1~2 m (3~6 feet) closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being inside the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger sound stage. Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
x Surround speaker position ( PL. XXX)*
This parameter lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound surround modes. Refer to the illustration below.
Select SIDE if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section A. Select MID if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section B. Select BEHD. if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section C.
