PREPARATIONS

CONNECTING SPEAKERS1

Speaker terminals

Connect front speakers (system A and/or B), a center speaker, surround speakers and sub woofer to the corresponding speaker terminals on the unit:

-the front speaker cords to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals

-the center speaker cord to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals

-the surround speaker cords to the SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals.

-for more powerful bass, the sub woofer (with a built-in amplifier) cord to the SUB WOOFER 3 jack

When connecting the sub woofer, be sure to select the “SUBW ON” (sub woofer on) mode (see page 5).

Speaker impedance

• Front and center speakers

Use the same impedance for both the front and center speakers. The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR on the rear should be set to the position that matches the impedance value of the front and center speakers.

When using 4 ohm speakers, set the selector to IMP:4Ω. When using 8 ohm speakers, set the selector to IMP:8Ω. Please unplug the AC cord before setting the selector.

• Surround speakers and sub woofer

The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR has no effect on the SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals and the SUB WOOFER 3 jack. For the surround speakers and sub woofer, use speakers of 8 ohms or more.

Connecting + to +, – to – terminals

To get the proper sound effect, the speaker terminals on the unit and the speaker should be connected with proper polarity; the + terminal on the unit should be connected to the + terminal on the speaker (and – to –).

NOTE

Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly as shown in the illustration on the right column. Improper connections can cause short circuits in the SPEAKER(S) terminals.

Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speakers.

Front speakers

Wind the tip of the cord around the terminal. Then tighten the terminal. Check that the cord is connected securely.
