Connecting the Speakers—Continued

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting any speakers:

Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

You can connect speakers with an impedance of

8 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume lev- els for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive

(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega- tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.

Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker termi- nal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Connecting Speaker Set A

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals and the speaker’s positive (+) terminals are color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.) Match the color of each cable to the corre- sponding speaker terminal.

1

Strip 5/8" (15 mm) of insu-

5/8" (15 mm)

 

 

lation from the ends of the

 

 

 

speaker cables, and twist

 

 

the bare wires tightly.

 

2

On the AV receiver, loosen the terminals. Fully

 

insert the bare wires, making sure that they touch

the threaded shaft. Screw the terminal tight.

3

On the speakers, loosen

 

the binding posts. Insert

 

the speaker wires into

 

the binding posts, then

 

tighten the binding posts.

4

Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the AV

 

receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to the

subwoofer’s LINE INPUT jack.

Make sure the plug is pushed in all the way.

Connecting Speaker Set B (not included)

1

Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insu-

3/8" (10 mm)

 

 

lation from the ends of the

 

 

 

speaker cables, and twist

 

 

the bare wires tightly.

 

2

While pressing the lever, insert

 

 

the wire into the hole, and then

 

release the lever.

Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
