Page 14

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of

1/2" to 5/8"(12 to 15 mm)

insulation from the ends of the

 

speaker cables, and twist the bare

 

wires tightly, as shown.

 

Using Banana Plugs (North American models)

•If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

•Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L terminals.
