Connecting Speakers

Connecting Speakers

• Connect the right speaker to the DVD receiver’s right

(R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to the DVD receiver’s left (L) SPEAKERS terminal.

• Connect the positive (+) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding positive (+) terminal on the DVD receiver. Connect the negative (–) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding negative (–) terminal on the DVD receiver. Use the red wires to connect the positive (+) terminal.

1	Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insu-	3/8" (10 mm)
	lation from the ends of the
	speaker cables, and twist the
	bare wires tightly, as shown.
2	While pressing the lever, insert

the wire into the hole, and then release the lever.

Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

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

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

•You can connect speakers with an impedance of

4 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.

•Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

•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.
