Connections
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the BDS receiver, ensure that the
receiver’s AC cord is unplugged from the receiver and the AC outlet. Making
speaker connections with the receiver plugged in and turned on could damage
the speakers.
Speakers and receivers/amplifiers have corresponding (+) and (–) connection terminals.
Most speakers use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal.
• the BDS receiver uses white to denote the left channel (+) terminal and red for the
right channel (+) terminal. Black is used to denote the (–) terminal of both channels.
• the BDS receiver uses the following colors to denote the (+) terminals of the various
channels:
front Left (+): White
Surround Left (+): Blue
front right (+): Red
Surround right (+): Gray
center (+): Green
Black is used to denote the (–) terminals of all channels on the BDS receiver.
Be sure to connect each speaker identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the receiver
or amplifier, and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver or amplifier. Miswiring one or
more speakers results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.
CAUTION: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires do not touch each other or the
other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your
receiver or amplifier.

Connections
Connecting a TV or Video Display
use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the BDS receiver’s HDMI output to your tV/video
display’s HDMI input. the BDS receiver is HDMI version 1.4a with 3-D and 30/36-bit
Deep color.
note: If you have devices (such as an Internet modem) already connected directly
to your tV, you can feed their sound to the BDS receiver via the HDMI Monitor out
connector’s audio return channel, and they will not require additional connections to
the receiver.
tV
note: the HDMI connection will deliver both video and audio to your tV or video display.
We suggest disabling your tV or video display’s audio system to take full advantage of
your BDS receiver's superior audio reproduction.
Connecting Your HDMI Source Devices
If you have any source devices with HDMI connectors, using them will provide the
best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both
digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio
connections for devices you connect via an HDMI cable.
