Connecting Your Speakers—Continued

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

•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.

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

•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.

the wire into the hole, and then

 

 

release the lever.

 

 

Make sure that the terminals are

 

 

gripping the bare wires, not the

 

 

insulation.

 

Note:

When speaker set B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.

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