Connecting the speaker cables

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-6.4/5.4.

1. Strip away approx. 5/8 inch (15 mm)

 

 

 

 

5/8"

 

 

of the wire insulation.

(15mm)

 

 

 

 

 

2.Twist the wire ends tightly together.

3.Unscrew the speaker terminal cap.

4. Insert the exposed wire end.

5. Screw down the speaker terminal cap.

Caution:

Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

(DTR-6.4 only) When using surround back left and right speakers, place them behind the listener so that the angles between the lines from each speaker to the listener and a line straight back from the listener are less than 30 degrees.

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.

Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-6.4/5.4.

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.

Using the speaker cable labels

The positive speaker terminals on the DTR-6.4/5.4 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.

Connecting a subwoofer

Use the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to connect a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built- in amplifier, connect an amplifier to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack and the subwoofer to the amplifier.
