7Main information display

Loudspeaker connections

To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the speakers. Check the impedance of your speakers. Speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 8 ohms (each) are recommended.

The coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals are negative (-). Make sure correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector or the sound can become weak and “phasey” with little bass.

Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off approximately 10mm (3/8”) or less (no more than 10mm, as this could cause a short- circuit) of the outer insulation. Twist the wire tightly together so there are no loose ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal knob, insert the speaker cable, tighten the knob and secure the cable.

Note: All connections are made via loudspeaker cable, except if using an active subwoofer which would be connected via a standard RCA phono cable. Banana Plugs (4mm standard) connected to the speaker cable are recommended for direct insertion into the speaker terminals.

Please refer to the ‘Speaker configuration’ section of this manual for more information on setting up your speakers.

Shows the current source selected, also the surround mode and station name/frequency when in tuner mode etc.

8Balance indicator

Lights when the Front Left and Right speaker outputs have been set to different levels in the OSD, i.e. a balance adjustment has been made.
