Needing some setup help....

Ok, well I must first of all admit that I know little to nothing about the specs of setting up a speaker system. Ok I know a little but I need some major help.

What I currently have is a Onkyo TX-SR701 Receiver.

Speakers: Definitive Technology Pro Sub 80
Definitive Technology Promonitor 80 (2 for my fronts)
Definitive Technology C/L/R 2002 Center Channel

I just moved to my new house and have my system in a finished basement.....so I'm still trying to figure out the most cosmetic way to run my rear surrounds.

So I just bought the Center Channel on eBay and it didn't come with a manual. I've tried the site and can't seem to find one on there either. Now before my Center was a crappy Sony that I bought years ago. And this one has four positive and neg inputs for hook up. Can I use either one or would I be doing something wrong by not having wire running to each input?

Also what level of calibration do most of you set your speakers at? Remember mine are small.

I tried calling Customer Service but they are closed for the long weekend and I would really like to enjoy my new center channel over the holidays.


Sorry for all the total nube questions. :(

By Jumpers or plates do you mean something that connects the two pos. posts together and then one that connects the neg posts? If so then yes, there are two copper like "plates" connecting the two sets of posts.


I can upload a pic in a bit if it would help. Thanks again.

Youre cool, those are bi-amp connections, but with the jumpers you only need one set o' wires.
