Integra DTR-7.4 instruction manual Connecting Speakers, Using the Speaker Cable Labels

Connecting Speakers

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-7.4.

You can also use banana plugs/connectors.

Caution:

Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 Ω to the DTR-7.4. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting accordingly (See page 30).

Notes:

•Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural (mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both the right and left-channel terminals.

•Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-7.4.

•Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (See page 66).

Using the Speaker Cable Labels

The positive speaker terminals on the DTR-7.4 are color coded for easy identification. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the corresponding terminals.

•To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wire.

• 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.
