Connecting the Receiver

Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before making any connections.

Speaker Connection Precautions

The receiver allows you to connect two sets of speakers. When two sets of speakers are connected, you can select which speaker set outputs sound or use both sets to output sound simultaneously. ( page 19 about “Speakers A” and “Speakers B”)

• When you connect one set of speakers to either

SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminal posts, or

when you connect two sets of speakers to both speaker

terminal posts and output sound only from either

speaker set, use speakers whose impedance is 4 to

16 Ω, and set the speaker impedance setting on the

receiver to 4 or 6 Ω ( page 12). When the impedance

of the speaker to be used is less than 6 Ω, set the

speaker impedance to 4 Ω.

• When you connect speakers to both SPEAKERS A

and SPEAKERS B terminal posts and output sound

from both speaker sets simultaneously, use speakers

whose impedance is 8 to 16 Ω. Set the speaker

impedance setting on the receiver to 4 Ω.

• 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 unnatural.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)	5/8" (15 mm)
1 of insulation from the
ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the
bare wires tightly, as
shown.
2 Unscrew the terminal.

3 Fully insert the bare wire.

4 Screw the terminal tight.

The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals.

•	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 receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the receiver.

•Don’t connect a speaker to more than one pair of speaker terminals.

Note:

If you make an incorrect setting for the speakers or the impedance values, the built-in protection circuit may be activated resulting in no sound output from speakers.
