Chapter One : Connecting Your Devices

Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until all connec- tions have been made.

To Connect Front Speakers Only:

If you only intend to listen to stereo sound (as opposed to surround sound), you may simply connect a single pair of speakers. To do so:

Using Banana Plugs (except for U.K.):

1.Tighten the speaker wire binding posts. If you do not tighten the posts, they will not conduct sound properly to the speakers.

2.Insert the plug from the positive jack on the RIGHT FRONT speaker into the pin jack on the positive RIGHT FRONT post. Repeat for the negative plug.

3.Repeat step 2 for the positive and negative wires on the LEFT FRONT speaker.

Using Bare Wires:

1.Loosen the speaker wire binding posts.

2.Insert the wire from the positive jack on the RIGHT FRONT speaker into the U-shaped slot in the base of the positive RIGHT FRONT post. Lay the wire to the right of the post; that way, when you tighten the bind- ing post, it will naturally twist the wire into the best connection. Tighten the post. Repeat for the negative wire on the RIGHT FRONT speaker as shown to the right.

3.Repeat step 2 for the positive and negative wires on the LEFT FRONT speaker.

To Connect Front and Surround Sound Speakers:

To listen to the full surround sound that this receiver can put out, connect front speakers, center, left surround, and right surround speakers. To do so:
