Connecting Your Speakers

Before you connect your speakers, read the following:

•Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

•Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.

•Only use speakers with an impedance of between 8 Ω and 16 Ω. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω may damage your HT-R510.

•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 connections. Doing so may

damage your HT-R510.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage your HT-R510.

•If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair of speakers, don’t connect it to both the left and right speaker terminals.
