Positioning speakers/Connecting speakers

Before connecting

•Refer also to the instruction manuals of the speakers.

•Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.

•Connect speakers with an impedance between 8 Ω and 16 Ω Connecting speakers with an impedance less than 8 Ω may damage the HT-R420.

•To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the positive

(+) and negative (–) speaker wires.
