Connecting the front speakers

You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals, and another pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals).

Right speaker FRONT SPEAKERS 1 Left speaker

•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.

•If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

Connecting the Speakers

You can connect the following speakers:

•Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.

•One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.

•One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to emphasize human voices).

•One subwoofer to enhance the bass.

After connecting the speakers listed above, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible DSP effect. For details, see page 14.

For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (–) and (+) terminals on the rear panel to the (–) and (+) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 5.

CAUTION:

Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

IMPORTANT:

To obtain the best possible output power from the receiver, and to prevent the receiver from being overheated, the receiver has the SPEAKER LOAD SELECTOR which has to be set as follows:

•Set it to the HIGH position when the impedance of the front speakers connected is within the range of 8 ohms to 16 ohms.

•Set it to the LOW position when the impedance of the front speakers connected is within the range of 4 ohms to 6 ohms.
